    I couldn't care less. I wanted Floyd to blast him out to shut the MMA fans up, I had been saying that all the time. Instead he had to wait for a complete novice to tire out. He knocked him the hell out? Lmao. Dude was reeling because he was tired.

    Floyd sold water to a well again as a 40 year old shot to **** man and pulled another robbery. Let that sink in...

    You haters are hilarious. A bunch of you clowns are over here talking about GGG is getting old when professionally he hasn't even fought an elite fighter yet and you want to sit here and knock old Floyd who didn't look like his dominant self lmao.

    Let's see where your guys are at in the same scenario at 40. I promise you they lose period and they're not pulling off a 100 million guaranteed payday.

    Come back to reality at any time now or wallow in your foolishness I guess.

    You Pacquiao fans need to really stfu lmao.

    You know that's actually something I've also considered. Conor never went forward and threw sustained hard shots. Fixed?

    However the more likely scenario is that Conor chose to box of the back foot simply because that's how he fights in the ufc and he doesn't know how to be a pressure fighter. The reason he never threw many hard shots were because he knew he wouldn't be able to land on floyd in anycase and he'd just end up gassing out and getting stopped.

    He was trying to save face. To come away with the least embarrassment possible. That's all he was trying to do in there really.

    Conor bitched out.

    Floyd didn't land anything until the end. McGregor was tapping him with nothing punches but nothing was coming back to him, he was winning. Floyd was missing.

    I predicted Conor would gas and FMJ would finish him off. If you want to find out about my thread history, look it up yourself. I'm not here to amuse you, nor seek your validation.

    Right, and the guy with 49 fights had to wait for a guy with 0 fights to tire out. Who's the bigger *****?

    55% of FMJ's power punches landed. That's what I saw as well. his jabs were ineffective, why he decided to get up close and personal.

    I got floyd winning in the 9th...i was out by a round. Was i concerned at any point?? No. I dont know where your argument lies on the fight, but if everyone knew that conor would gas late on why is everyone upset (or so it would seem)

    Agreed. And the jabs were ineffective due to the reach conor had...I thought floyd gave the "fans what they wanted to see" lol

    Conor had some power in the early rounds. After that faded it was only a matter of time. FMJ walked through him, and knocked him out. He sent MMA's best back to the being well rounded at martial arts sport and not being elite in any of them.

    Smart boxing....no?? You lot sound crazy looool. He's fighting the bigger, younger, stronger (allegedly) man. Why would you go toe to toe? Conor has great reflexes and he knows how to fight you have to respect that but in regards to the science of boxing floyd just schooled him on the basics. Lightwork

    Why would Floyd want to stop Conor early? He knew he'd get him in the end. Carrying him for a couple of rounds makes the fight appear more legitimate to casual fans and allows Floyd to get a couple more PPV buys in there for late buyers.
