How McGregor came off, to me...

[SHO_RULEZ]

I don't watch MMA. If I watched it more, I'd probably like it. But, what I have watched...two men...hugging each other on the ground for long stretches...before the ref finally breaks it up, just doesnt appeal to me .

Tito Ortiz, The IceMan, Rampage, Rhonda, I know those guys. McGregor's pre-fight bombast comes off as an ACT to motivate him to excel in the violent sport. It's also to impose some intimidation on his opponent, to gain a psychological edge on his opponent, and hopefully win the fight before the bell rings.

Like, a Floyd, Wilder, or Big Baby bring their pre-fight personality into the ring? The McGregor that showed up to the fight WASN'T the same guy that out yelled Floyd at the press tour.

There was one moment in the first or second round, where Floyd hit him with a body shot, and McGregor put on an invincible act .

But other than that, the McGregor that showed up in the ring was a quiet, nervous fighter, a far cry from the press tour bravado.

I think at home, he's not this mouthy guy, it's just what he needs to motivate HIMSELF, and win the fight without throwing a punch. Am I reading him right?

Connor McGregor is a fake, to talk the amount of smack he did he went out like a girl running away and Ive never seen anybody so happy to be a loser, doesn't he realize all Ireland bet on him because of what he was saying he would do to a small frail old man.

LOL I've not heard much on this post fight, but I think the actual odds were so good & people believed in Conor so much + a lot of people thought he won 3 rounds & the fight was fun to watch that they aren't hating on this outcome as much as I woulda thought them to. Thats my take anyway.

It did seem like a lot of people were mad at Manny when he lost doe, but I he didn't overachieve + didn't pay as much if he'd have won either + that fight wasn't as much fun so maybe thats whats going on or maybe I've just not seen all the people complaining about losing their money over Conor.

Manny doesn't talk one 10th the BS Connor does, and Manny fights the bigger guys, people are giving a guy in his physical prime with a 25lb advantage way too much credit for running away and losing from a guy that's was old frail and nowhere near prime, if he had any honor he should have come after Floyd like a man possessed, he was pathetic and carried until he was stopped.

The sht Connor talked about boxing and its champions got under my skin, and then he went out like total wuss, no way he deserves credit for being a paper tiger carrying a megaphone.

Same here, got under my skin too. But I guess that was his plan.

Agree with everything you said. The fact people are giving him a moral victory is pathetic.

Hilarious that anyone expected more from McGregor.

He had no chance. He isn't a boxer.

This event was just a swindle. Not a fight. It was obvious all along.

Floyd was being honest when he told conor "just sign the contract and I'll take care of the rest".

He knew this was an easy few hundred million and just needed conor to agree to the fight and follow through with it. It didnt matter wtf conor did or said pre fight, he was way out of his league. Mayweather looked bored and couldnt be bothered to argue back and forth at a lot of the pre fight press conferences.

Floyd looked sloppy as ***, he was probably telling the truth when he said he didnt spar the last month.

He let conor swing at his guard for 3 rounds and just walked him down, in the final rounds he wasnt even setting up his right hands with feints or anything, just swinging for the fences.

Didnt go how i expected for sure. I thought floyd would box and conor would be aggressive but conor had no power at all and for whatever reason thought he could box on the outside and made contact due to his long reach but with the weakest arm punches ive ever seen.

weird twilight zone chit.

conor has got some big ass monkey arms too. theres no way he only has 2" wingspand on mayweather. His looked way longer and mayweather already has a really long reach at 72" for a 5'8'' welter.

Will thats the thing. Manny DIDN'T talk sh^t really & bettors were mad at him. And hell his regular fans too.

Conor talked MAD SH^T & people lost a nice pile of money on him & fans don't really seem to give a f#ck.

You'd think all the people hyping Conor would be pissed, but they largely seem sad Conor lost more than mad at him or mad for their lost money. Thats the weird sh^t post-fight to me.
