Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Stops Conor McGregor in The Tenth

[IronDanHamza]

That's a lie. At the beginning of rd. 9 he had Floyd balled over in the corner from a legal body shot, claiming it was a low blow. And the excuses about Floyd being old are garbage because who had the advantage in boxing? A fighter with almost 50 fights that were rarely grueling or a mma guy with zero pro fights? No trying to be rude to you but I think you should understand what I'm getting at without too much effort. Conor shined and people are butt hurt about it because it was totally not what was expected against ATG Floyd in his first pro boxing attempt. That scares people because they know what that really means deep down. That means that if the experience and cardio was equal, Conor would have whipped Floyd a55. I know it and deep down, you do too.

Shined? The guys a laughing stock.

The internet is all over him taking the p*ss out of him.

Can't punch, can't box, and got battered and stopped by a 40 year old washed up non puncher with brittle hands and 20 lbs lighter than him.

Also, the shot in round 9 was clearly low. How can a guy who can't crack an egg hurt Mayweather to the body? Doesn't make any sense from the get go.

Money is money, and you're an idiot if you pass that up but he did take an impossible to win fight and did a hell of a job and actually won rounds off Floyd.

You know damn well you didn't expect that so I don't know why you are fronting now. Conor showed real skills and proved he wasn't out classed. That notion is complete BS.

And Floyd can make astronomical money in the UFC with a Conor fight too, but you better believe he won't be doing that. That's why I say Conor sacked up. You don't see any elite boxers that want to face Conor in an octagon do you? That's what I thought.

I never disparaged McGregor or Floyd for making this fight. It was a no brainer. Kudos to them for making the money. He did win rounds, I gave him the first three and the fourth was either way. He might have snuck in another round. He showed some skills and did better than I expected.

That said he was still outclassed and against other less known fighters the same would be the case too. He'd get legit hurt against many middle tier fighters.

McGregor didn't do anything that showed he was a tough guy by taking this fight. It was a no brainer. Elite boxers don't go to the UFC because they are boxers!!! I think Conor is badass but this fight didn't prove his toughness, almost any fighter in the UFC or boxing would take this fight.

How can he possibly be a laughing stock when he won rounds against Floyd and lasted ten rounds when nobody expected him to go past 4-5 rounds, all with zero pro boxing experience?

Answer honestly because while I rarely agree with you on things on this board, I don't think you are a complete idiot like I do most on here.

[Diego Rodriguez]

Getting handled means even if it was planned, you still got handled so the point is moot. Had he opened up before Conor got tired, he would have probably bitten the dust. The uppercut at the end of rd. 1 when Floyd got aggressive was an example of that.

LOL, you see what you want. Floyd was never close to being hurt (other than the low blow). Floyd could have surely been more agressive in rounds 1-3 and it wouldn't have caused him to be KO'd, LOL.

But what ever the case Conor should stick to UFC.

The whole internet is taking the piss out of him that's how.

Most people were saying it would go 12 because Floyd is old small and brittle.

He did well to win two rounds fair play for that but he got battered and stopped by an old washed up midget with apparently no power.

The bolded part is all I'm saying but you can't say he got outclassed after that bolded statement. He was in full control until he got gassed. It's a known thing that it's part of the game and it's fair play but he wasn't outclassed and I was one of the ones who thought he was going to be.

He was outclassed IMO. Winning three rounds in a 12 rond fight is not showing you are in the same class. It also helped that the other guy did nothing, literally almost nothing in those rounds. I didn't come away from those first three rounds thinking Conor is on Floyd's level, I came away thinking when the F is Floyd going to fight. Again Conor did better than expected but that's a far cry from being good. This reminds me of the Jacobs-Golovkin fight where Jacobs did better and did fight a good fight. All of the sudden that became he was robbed.

I think Floyd still could fight elite class fighters and probably win. I don't think the Conor in the ring with Floyd would beat middle tier fighters. So yes I think Floyd clearly outclassed Conor.

Who cares what casuals say on the fkn internet?!?! LOL!

And who with any sense said he would go 12? He even knew he didn't have the tank to go 12, which is why he thought he would get the KO in 4. He didn't but he damn sure did a lot better than myself or anyone else on here that wasn't trolling on here thought.

And Floyd is an ATG and an mma fighter making his pro boxing debut wasn't supposed to beat him. It would be like Errol Spence making his MMA debut against Conor after an 8 week camp.

[The Surgeon]

As im sure most did, i called this to the letter, Macgregor would look ok for 2 or 3 rounds then class would begin to tell and he would tire before being TKO'd late. What i didnt expect was Floyd to look so old, i mean he was slow by his standards and got hit with silly shots while failing to cut off the ring or throw combo's. Wise to stay retireded now Mayweather. The Spence's and Thurman's and so forth would be too much for Floyd at this point in his career. As for Connor's vaunted power? Pfft dont make me laugh (like Floyd did)! Stay in your lane bro your a helluva MMA fighter and didnt totally embaress yourself on saturday but know the type of guys i just said would be too much for floyd now would KILL you in boxing. Cong**** to both for making a cross over fight happen and making all that money! Connor certainly played his part in the selling of the fight

Oh other than that. For the record, i believe he hurt jr to body in that rd too. But thing is it didnt get him anywhere. Jr backed to corner and no harm done. You know its ok that conor sucks at boxing, i aint ****ting hard on him as a person. But the only time i ever watch a tv screen or watch anything on laptop its boxing. I hate all other sports etc.so i do know a bit about how things go. I also go to local boxing gym etc. I dont know everything but i do know my share. And conor isnt powerful and i guarantee you jr knew exactly what he was doing standing in front of him and walking him down with that smart azz grin on his face. Dont believe the hype, conor isnt hurting or beating anyone in boxing. Good luck to him in mma though. And i hope you get lots of entertainment outta him but boxing isnt the place. Its rough and concussive out there and he got made a fool of truly by a 40 yr old retired defensive boxer that stalked him, laughed at him and when time came made him stop throwing punches and look to hold on. But that didnt even work. So he ended up taking bunch of shots and throwing nothing. Watch fight again. I think ppl got excited and forgot what was actually happening. And that was a setup for stoppage
