    This is the mistake you and many others are making - you think Floyd was taking a look at Mac and carrying him but the simple truth is he couldn't deal with Mac's slickness, defence, awkward movement, and boxing ability. Floyd just cannot deal with slickness. Spaddy, who was much smaller than Floyd, totally schooled him in sparring and made him look like a rank novice with his slickness, and now the same thing has happened again against Mystic Mac who is much bigger than Floyd. This is not a coincidence. Floyd only started to get a foothold in the fight when Mac started to gas. Up until then it was one-way traffic.

    I don't think he was carrying him, but I definitely think he was taking a look and working him out as the fight wore on; and part of the reason why McGregor gassed was due to the fact he was having to work twice as hard as Floyd was to initially stay a quarter step ahead...and then an eighth, and finally just stay level with Floyd. Mayweather looked like an old man; but he adopted the old man approach to perfection and ground down his larger foe as a result.

    Archie Moore couldn't have done it much better.

    Floyd is old with shot legs lmao. Connors "slickness" did more damage to himself with fatigue over anything he did to Floyd. Old Floyd was still accurate and even Connor himself said he couldn't believe Floyd's composure lmao

    Reaching a little too much there serge

    Mac has atrocious stamina, always has had too. I think Mac surprised a lot of people, including Floyd, with his skills. His reflexes and innate ability to see Floyd's shots coming and unleash his own counter in the blink of an eye were catlike considering how much bigger than Floyd he is.

    I'd pick Moore to beat Mac so no one can say I'm biased.

    Mac's not only much slicker than Floyd he's much slicker than anything Floyd has ever seen before.

    Why? It would be kind of annoying if a crossover fight that only appealed to casuals were a record setting thread on here.

    Oh, I think Floyd clearly expected something a little different from Mac, and did seem a bit surprised at well Mac was boxing at first. I know I was. When I say CM did a serviceable Vitali impression, I mean it as a compliment. That style is a pain in the ass to face, especially if you're trying to counter-punch. I think Mayweather realized that he wasn't going to be able to win by staying on the outside and decided to move forward and grind from the fourth round on; and that ultimately proved to be the approach he needed to take to win the fight.

    Even Floyd said he was impressed how good his skills were and how it took him by surprise in the early rounds. Mac is definitely a special athlete. When he did that Sports Science thing the testers said his results put him in the elite of the elite bracket. To do what he did with zero experience as a pro against a truly great fighter like Floyd, regardless of his age, is very impressive. The experience gap, and experience is everything in many regards, was astronomical.

    The drunken master Emmanuel Burton was far more slicker and far more awkward and way more effective. Connor was just younger with fresher legs. Still drunk I see from last night. Calm down there.

    Let's see, if I suck so much then why is the only person accusing me of sucking a hyperventilating race baiting supremacist repressed homosexual crybaby who's so madly in love with a rich black guy that doesn't give two shits about him that he gets up at 4 in the morning to write a long ass emotionally unhinged screed about a poster that scored a fight one more round for McGregor than you did. Spare me you triggered hysterical snowflake.

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH they don't like Floyd, don't you guys know? He's TBE! TBE! TBE! You tantruming girl. And you have the temerity to call me transgender, you sound like a wounded ex-girlfriend in these little snitty fits you're throwing. If you didn't have ad hominen attacks to fall back on you'd have nothing to say.

    I'm not here celebrating a goddamn thing, I in all honesty didn't even want to do this RBR, I cared that little, this was a joke of a match that any real boxing fan should have sneered at and looked the other way, it was a shameless money grab against a zero fight novice, and by all rights he should have gotten in there and dispensed with him in a round or two, and you deep down know that, so now you're overcompensating and projecting the insecurities you're feeling after seeing your hero drop a few rounds to a scrub and retire in a shameful sideshow attraction by stereotyping everyone who thought this joke of a fight was a joke of a fight as some monolithic race obsessed other, get over it you ****ing whiner, this has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with this being an embarrassment.

    Let's see your scorecards for the next few cards I'd love to see if you can be as impartial as you think you are, somehow I feel like you'll be mocked off the thread. Give it a try woman, there's no one saying you can't, that what these threads are here for.

    You're pretty good at repeating things people call you. I commend you for that. You've been told plenty of times you don't have **** on IB. No need to elaborate on that.

    Second, I would. I didn't even get to see the fight live because unlike you, my day and night jobs are actually jobs. Go figure. I'm not a recuse like you who moderates a forum spending most of your time on the internet watching porn and whatever else you do.

    Nonetheless I am a more accurate scorer. Not nearly as biased as you and your black supremacist **** is getting old. That's pathetic white card alternate sjw nonsense. You just suck as I said.

    You'll see a huge difference in quality of calling fights when I do have the time to do so.

    McConor has stamina of David Price and boxing skills of Tyson Fury, he befuddled Floyd with his slickness.
    I'll have to put him in my slick & black rankings after last night.

    I'm good at repeating things you call me, because you project more than anyone on the site, and everything you say is usually entirely applicable to you. It's pretty easy, any dimestore psychologist would spot the projecting and transference all over your posts.

    More ad hominems I see, oh I'm too good for this site, everyone who posts here is a douchebag with no life, yet you post here until the wee hours of the morning, completely invalidating the claims you make about how much of a happening dude you are.

    The white supremacist **** is getting old, you've been relying on it since you set foot on the site, if you want people to stop calling you a black supremacist and a racist, stop acting like one. But until then, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, in all likelihood its a duck. No, its not SJW nonsense, I don't give a damn what you call me or say about me, because your opinion is irrelevant, I'm pointing out the fact that you are race obsessed and an SJW crybaby, which you are, then you try to project that onto me, you're pitifully transparent.:lol:

    Here we are to old arguments. The post history is clear. Last night when I had time, yes, I posted in wee hours. This whole summer, I've been busy. I'm barely on this *****. It's irrefutable. This site takes up majority of your time because you got nothing real going on.

    I do project though but as I've said before. It's obvious you don't get vagina because woman aren't attracted to men who share their qualities like you do. You are an emotional person. No lie there. You respond to race baiting more than I do and you initiate more than I do.

    The minute someone shits on a fighter you like, you immediately jump to race bro. The proof is there.

    You were even getting clowned in the Loma vs Crawford thread getting your panties in a bunch. You're not a smooth operator at all and once again you suck at scoring fights and doing RBR.

    Btw, I'm going to be a father soon. Happy about that. I deal with real things see. You should check on who is really projecting and maybe go outside more instead of being in front of a computer screen.
