    I explained perfectly well why it went 10.
    I mean, it´s fine if you disagree with me, but I can´t take your opinion seriously at all. FFS, you didn´t even watch the fight :lol:
    Like I said, Floyd knew he was going to win and his gamplan was to just tire McGregor out. But, Conor showed some actual boxing prowess and gave the older man something to think about.
    So Floyd finally got going around the 4th round. But even then, he was in no hurry.

    He clearly can crack.
    But there is a big difference in wearning boxing gloves and MMA gloves. The technique is different.
    Don´t believe me? Go hit the heavybag with the gloves and youl see.

    If Conor isn´t a puncher, then MMA is just filled with glass jaws.

    Why does it matter? Floyd already was guaranteed the money vs Conor. Why carry him?
    It´s not like Floyd ever worried about the fans and how they reacted to his performances.

    Conor was bigger and actually was able to put up a fight(early rounds). Tenshin was tiny and got blasted.

    Conor relied on being the best boxer of a bunch of **** boxers.

    No.
    He is isn´t a boxer tho. His go to was his brilliant counter punching, which in itself was quite one dimensional: Apply pressure, draw out the opponent´s punches and then counter those.
    He did use great footwork and had a nuanced approach, but it was a simple gameplan.
    Some basic striking.

    It´s like saying that Adesanya relies on his boxing in MMA, but he comes from kick boxing, and even there he had a unusual approach to that sport.

    I mean, one is an actual pro boxer, the other is a mix martial artist. The **** you expect to happen?
    Again, Conor is a decent boxer. And I don´t mean it in comparison to actual pro boxers who are high level. Just that he has some good moves and a solid understanding of some basics.

    how did he dominate the sport ? He never defended either of his two title wins once , an exciting fighter who at 145 was just bigger than most and used it to his advantage .

    Definitely good for boxing as there is now not Pacquiao-Macgregor.

    Very few on here accept Mayweather carried Connor, I honestly can’t believe they don’t believe that. Mayweather could roll out of bed and straight down slaughter CM at his absolute best, Connor could have 6 months to prepare and May could honestly get out of bed after being retired years and take him out in 1-2 rounds. Wtf is wrong with people. They aren’t even McGregor fans

    I agree but I think it's fine if guys move between mma and boxing kickboxers did it back in the day but they should have to prove themselves in each sport separately

    Yeah, I know he's not a good boxer, you're correct that all he does is counterpunch to a proficient degree. He's hardly a master though, quite rudimentary with his setups really. One trick ponies tend to get figured out at some point.
