Mayweather/McGregor Fight Discussion

He actually was outboxing floyd lol

 

He was winning until he tired. He was pretty smart in there, I didn't expect that. He's a smart fighter.

 

Reminded me of Ali vs Mildenberger. Speedy defensive boxer forced to be more aggressive against an awkward southpaw.

 

Please McGregor fans, inspire McGregor to fight Jacobs, Quillin, GGG, or Canelo. Have him even fight Chavez jr. if he really wants a fun time.

Chavez jr. would laugh at McGregor. It would be McGregor's worst nightmare. Hey, the money is there.

 

Lets be real, It was his first ever boxing match against one of the greatest boxers of all time, and he took Floyd deep. There is no excuses, if Mayweather could have he would have knocked out Conor early, but he didnt because he cant. Conor was incredibly slick and unpredictable, Mayweather didnt look impressive.

Mayweather has always had a reach advantage over his opponents, plus the IV usage to mask PED agents, he had difficulty with Conor's reach. Just imagine if Conor had more than one Pro boxing match.

 

Maybe but he knew he couldn't go 12 so should have fought him and not boxed him. If the plan was to win that is.

 

He won the first and possibly the second and third on work rate alone because Floyd was sussing him out. That is not outboxing. From the 4th onward Floyd was playing with him like a kitten with a ball of yarn.

 

He wasn't loading up on his shots apart from a couple early counter uppercuts. It was mostly weak jabs and slapping rabbit punches.

 

You for got the part where Floyd was hiting him back .connie controling fight ? Ktfooh Floyd let him shoot his load figure him out and laid him out. Floyd rusty havent fought in two years.

 

its over after the first clinch in mma, floyd would actually get put to sleep not tkod in 10 rounds.

 

With improved stamina, proper training and exerience Conor would beat all of them actually.

TK Max is alot better than TJ Max also pal.

 

Couldnt handle ? wtf where you watching Floyd khtfo hows that for control

 

Yes, absolutely. He can't punch, he especially can't punch on the inside, he has no chin, and he has horrible stamina.

But his foot work was very good for an inexperienced boxer, and his reflexes and timing really were AMAZING. He was timing Floyd with lefts that we thought would never work in boxing! He was simply outboxing Floyd in the first three and continued to do well on the outside till he tired. This guy is a great athlete. And he has incomparable cojones to get in the boxing ring with Mayweather. Floyd might deserve some criticism, but we shouldn't be giving McGregor anything but praise.

 

I'm not entirely sure what to make of what I saw. McGregor used angles and his jab somewhat decently. Mayweather had a few notable misses early, but he also didn't throw much through the first 3 rounds. Was he toying with him, or was it ring rust?

How did McGregor only condition himself to fight 25 minutes for this?
