Respect to McGregor. 1st time in the ring and he did that!

[Soda_Popinski]

Idk why I'm bothering with you at this point...but whatever...

1.Why Conor was fatigued?

Dude are you blind? The guys mouth was open on the 6th round. Not due to Floyd, but due to Conor punching himself out. Nothing hypothetical there.

no, I'm not blind...his fatigue was very much influenced by Floyd...are you honestly expecting me to believe that Floyd stalking him and walking him down, and landing punches while Conor is constantly backpedaling after the 4th round was not a factor in his fatigue? I mean come on bro...

2.Conor success was only three rounds?

lmao Dude has a clear argument he won 4 straight rounds easily. He connected more than Floyd can ever do in those early rounds true story. Wait for video evidence. It's coming soon.

Yes, Conor won rounds 1-3...maybe one other...his success came in the early rounds when Floyd was averaging less than 10 punches thrown per round...from that point on Floyd walked straight through anything Conor threw and was landing shot after shot...there was very little success for McGregor after round 4...he had one seemingly phantom body shot that seemed to hurt Floyd in the 9th (I think), but couldn't follow it up because he was being taken behind the wood shed at that point

3. Floyd game plan was to bring him to the later rounds.

Yes!! I do agree. He knew Conor the novice with all that bloated water can't stay in the later rounds. He knew Conor the novice boxer will gas out. Off course Floyd knew that. That's why it cheapens his accomplishment. He fought someone who can't dance with him for 12 rounds. As I have been saying in this thread. Floyd new Conor can't keep up and will fatigue, due to lack of boxing preparation. He Fooled Conor, he fooled you and the fuvkn' world for facing a man who can't obviously touch him with that skill gap. But that said, Floyd got a rude awakening, like I said, Conor did more than expected of him He touched Floyd up over and over, as he landed clean shots, body and head. That in itself is tremendous accomplishment against someone we werem't giving a chance in hell. Floyd's head was like a bubble head snapping backwards over and over.

Again, he had success early, when Floyd was offering next to no offense in return...the moment Floyd began coming forward, McGregor had no answer...

And like I said, Conor a strong case won 4 rounds straight. That is wack. Conor did that in Floyd's realm. A novice did that. Think about that achievment.

He didn't win 4 straight...

He won rd 1-3 because Floyd threw in the single digits

To add, if you still don't get were Floyd messed up together with your floyd fan boys.

Here it is. From Andre Ward's own words.

//krikya360.com/andre-war...is-age--119931

“I expected a lot less from McGregor and I expected a little bit more from Floyd Mayweather. I think Floyd showed his age a little bit. He’s still got a lot left in the tank, but when you start seeing yourself getting hit with punches you typically won’t get hit with, especially against a guy with no experience, and you’re not offensively getting off and throwing like you should be - it’s time to hang it up. It’s not that you don’t have it, but you want to leave before you don’t have it anymore," Ward said.


ANDRE WARD TO FLOYD: IT'S TIME TO HANG UP

Enough said.

I don't know what you're trying to prove here...

Floyd has been old for years...Floyd has lost more steps than most boxers ever had to begin with...he was old when he faced Berto, he was old against Pac, he was old against Maidana...

He was REALLY old against McGregor, hadn't sparred in over a month, and hadn't faced live competition in 2 years..and even old man Floyd stood in the pocket and took the biggest shots McGregor could throw and wasn't phased by it...then he took over the fight and gave McGregor a beating

I've said what I have to, you can't understand, what I said, and even what Andre Ward said.

I'll keep it simple. Floyd didn't perform as well as to be expected to someone who was expected to win a cake walk against a novice. He was talking hits over a white belter, and if you can't see those 4 straight rounds has a strong case Conor took it, then you just have to wait for the breakdown. Video evidence will see who connected more for the first 4.

Conor made a strong account of himself, you want to believe, it's Floyd who burned him out and fatigued him from all that fighting that happen. If you know boxing the best way to spend energy is not the walking or going around the ring, it's the punches you throw that tires you. Conor, was a novice burned himself up from all those punches he threw and connected I might add. As a result, he gassed out.

Should I give props to Floyd for predicting he will gas?

If you are a seasoned vet, and you know your sport. Even I know that much water hydration Conor took will as he ballooned will take a toll in the later rounds, not to mention, knowing he was not used to a 12 rounder. Conor fatigued from all that fighting yes, but Floyd didn't do shyit. Conor just punch himself out after the early rounds, and from 6 round his mouth was open. Was it because of Floyd who made that happen? No, Conor gassed out from his own demise. He was not fit to go 12. He just gassed. And as I've said a Lamborghini without gas is an excotic car that can't drive. Conor was an easy target as he ran out of fuel. NO stamina = easy pickin' for Floyd.

That said, as Andre Ward mentioned. Floyd took hits he shouldn't be getting versus a novice. That is knock on Floyd. And partly, Conor did some of the work why Floyd got hit like that. Like I said, Conor, a novice boxer, connected more than you expect from a novice, and even made Floyd look ****** in the ring. Give props to where credit is due.

Even Andre Ward recognizes Conor's work. Conor went above and beyond boxing fans, boxer's expectations.

And yes there is an argument to be made Conor won 4 straight rounds. I'll be back with videos to show it.

I am sure he loved that **** punch. Ward couldn't have done it better.

[Soda_Popinski]

lol

I've said what I have to, you can't understand what I said, and even what Andre Ward said as well

it's hard to understand what you say because you're a completely salty, biased, uneducated source of information...

I'll keep it simple. Floyd didn't perform as well as to be expected of him from someone who was expected to win a cake walk against a novice. He was talking hits over a white belter, and if you can't see those 4 straight rounds has a strong case Conor took it, then you just have to wait for the breakdown. Video evidence will see who connected more for the first 4

In reality, it was a cake walk...Floyd was realistically winning the fight 6-3 at the time it was stopped...5-4 if you're feeling sorry for Conor...he wasn't hurt or wobbled by any of those early shots...

Floyd is a notoriously slow starter...he takes his time to feel out his opponent, and make adjustments...he very often gives away early rounds...you should know this...

You seem stuck on the idea of Conor connecting more than Floyd in the first 4 rounds...and that automatically means he won the rounds...thats an incorrect and obnoxiously flawed argument...but I'll play your game...

According to compubox, the punches landed through 4 were (May/Mac)

2/9...5/8...5/9...16/16...

So that puts, like I've said a 3-0 lead for McGregor because neither fighter was doing jack **** in terms of really landing, but McGregor was much busier...

Round 4 is even in total...but Mayweather was not only twice as accurate with his punches(52% vs 25%) but also landed 5 more power punches in round 4...using your own logic...I score that for Mayweather...

The rest of the fight? Let's have a look...but it's not pretty for your argument...

5. 12/9
6. 27/19
7. 21/12
8. 20/15
9. 42/10 (!!) This could be a 2pt round based on your logic
10. 20/4

Yes, Conor fought VERY well for someone making their debut in boxing, but it's not like he's never been in a fight before, and he prides himself on his striking skills in the octagon...

As for how he gassed out, of course as you say, if you know boxing, you know throwing punches drains energy...however, if you actually knew boxing, you would never disregard the effect that being walked down, and constantly pressured has on a fighter...or the amount of energy he expended basically running away from Floyd in the second half of the fight...

Should I give props to Floyd for predicting he will gas?

See above...you don't know what you're talking about...

Like I said, Conor, a novice boxer, connected more than you expect from a novice, and even made Floyd look ****** in the ring. Give props to where credit is due.

I've been giving props to McGregor through this whole discussion...yes Floyd is an old man, yes he has slowed down, yes he took punches...but he also fought a completely different style of fight than we've seen him fight in a really, really long time...it's a simple fact that if you're going to continually walk forward towards someone you are going to be hit with more shots, it's unavoidable..

It's not really a knock on Floyd, it's a simple matter of biology...he's older, and hasn't fought in 2+ years

Even Andre Ward recognizes Conor's work. Conor went above and beyond boxing fans, boxer's expectations.

Yes, he did...and I've never said he didnt

And yes there is an argument to be made Conor won 4 straight rounds. I'll be back with videos to show it.

Don't waste your time with the videos...they won't prove anything, we all saw the fight lol

[AneesMoha]

I thought this fight was a joke and people are still trying to legitimize it.

People bringing up that Connor landed more punches on Floyd than anyone except Canelo.

Not taking into context that Floyd realised that most of his other opponents could hurt him if he was reckless and that he figured out Connor couldn't after that uppercut in the first round.

Also this was the most aggressive Floyd had been in a decade.

Also disregarding that Floyd looked extremely sloppy and had no intention of slipping or using the shell.

Sorry just needed to rant...continue

[Chaos]

hehe..

I guess This guy is an idiot for taking a fight in a short notice and taking all this money aye..

A guy went 12 rounds for the very first time, and you guys can't even see where he fuvked up.

Conor lost due to a small gas tank.


Here as I have been saying.

Straight from the horses mouth. A confession of fatigue.

From Conor's own mouth.

Yes, Conor it was fatigue.

You weren't ready for a 12 rounder.

Start @ 1:00 Conor: 'It was just fatigue'

@ 2:30 Conor: 'I don't think it was skill there. In another time I'll beat him.'

@ 2:48 Conor: 'It's an adjustment to go 12 rounds. You know what I mean from changing from 5 to 12. 5 rounds to 12 is a lot so whatever'

Well I guess if the leprechaun says it then it must be true, huh?

He had three rounds to unload with Floyd doing nothing but standing with his hands up or back against the ropes and couldn't do ****. Instead he got finished by an undersized, feather-fisted, semi-retired pensioner he outweighed by 20 pounds who hadn't ko'd someone properly since '07 LOLOL

[Johnny Rubber]

completely salty, biased, uneducated source of information[/B]...

Welcome to NSB, where boxers are just an outlet for frustrated people to vent.

Have you seen how many responses start with an insult, Lol.

[hugh grant]

Boxing lost.
Floyd is supposed to be boxing's finest. Connor was equal to floyd until his stamina went.
Boxing is supposed to be holy grail?
What we learnt is condifioning is what's great about boxers. Not skill.
Floyd's skill didn't impress Connor. Floyd's been there, done that, bought t sshirt but didn't look like 20 years experience between them
