    Its option 1. There was no challenge there. For my money mayweather was meaning to box badly. It was the only way he could get out of there with 200 million without the critism of taking on a guy thats never boxed professionaly before. Floyd was missing bread and butter shots...against a wide open mcgregor. Looked to me like he was aiming to miss half the time.

    Think in the sixth round conor started fouling. Floyds accuracy then goes through the roof...he was punishing him for fouling.

    Your reflex,s/timing can go overnight. But you dont suddenly start boxing like a moron overnight. Especially when hes considered one of the smartest fighters out there.

    I don't think it was his plan UNTIL Mosley woke him up with a punch that would have knocked other fighters down. From that point on, Floyd went at him and became one sided. Who knows, Conor might have awoken that same Floyd with the upper cut.

    To be truthful, I didn't even bother looking at the analysis thread, most on the threads on here nowdays are full of rubbish I just cant be bothered with reading them any longer.

    I just took a look on a few threads and say some of the TV and youtube analysis, then I saw the complete fight yesterday evening expecting McGregor to have laid it on the line, and came to realize he fought a complete survival fight where he didn't attempt to throw a true punch with intent behind it the whole entire fight.

    You look at Mayweather's easiest fights in his career and he's at least bracing to take the incoming shots, but against McGregor, he had completely zero respect for his punching power after the first couple of rounds of gauging him that Mayweather wasn't even positioning his feet to brace for incoming.
    He would walk to McGregor like he would walk to a fighter half his size coming out of a week stay at a medical facility for some kind of illness.

    The reason I opened this thread was because I've heard many who saw the fight mention they thought McGregor was tough and showed up to fight.
    Even some fighters like Evander Holyfield and Ray Leonard have praised McGregor.
    I'm just not seeing where McGregor showed up to fight.

    You saw him use this style because he could do as he pleased, it wasn't a real fight but a glorified sparring session with a novice at boxing. Floyd could have ended it in one. I think he was laughing at the public. They begged him to come back and they got this. They will probably ask again as well. Hulk hogan is next up.

    No **** Sherlock. He is not a boxer which probably explains it. I'd guess he realised quickly that floyd was in control and playing with him early. They probably agreed it go a few rounds before the ref stopped the circus.

    Why do people keep talking about this fight like it was real, it's like some strange parody.

    Tyson gives him credit as a fighter but doesn't seem fond of floyd. Although whoever u see footage of them together they seem ok. Think a lot of boxers don't seem fond of floyd.

    I loved how he completely toyed with Woodley. How in the hell is Rory in Bellator and that ***** Woodley is putting fans to sleep with his fights in the UFC and has a job as an 'analyst'?? Lol

    I think Connors actually does practice something similar to pirouettes in preparation for boxing matches.
