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

[Soda_Popinski]

Like I said majority of us in the boxing community didn't give COnor any chance at all. I even gave Floyd 6 rounds to KTFO Conor. Going into the fight. The boxing skill level is apparent this circus is what it is a circus show. Floyd knew, he was going in the fight with a novice, who is suppose to be an easy prey.

The thing is the script wasn't what Floyd was expecting, as do the boxing fans. As Conor truly held his own there, and if it was down to 8 rounds of fighting. He could have won. True story. Since, like I said first 4 rounds ou can make a string case Conor bagge 4 straight rounds.

Anyway, yes, Conor said he wasn't prepared for the offensive Floyd, but actually come to think of it, he did, he landed those stiff jabs as Floyd came in forward. His jab was excellent. What was lacking as he also emphasized in the interview was fatigue, it was hard for him to acclimatize from a 5 rounder to 12. And you should believe him. It's 2 different sport. 2 different disciplines. Conor lost, coz of lack of time to prepare and gassed out.

that's all she wrote.

Again, you're making arguments that even Conor himself isn't using to defend himself...don't tell me he had a defense for Mayweather walking him down...because Conor himself said HE DIDNT...

Conor's success (the first 3 rounds) came BEFORE Floyd made that adjustment...once Floyd started walking forward and pressuring Conor, he had no answer...NONE...

Of course I think Floyd would have preferred to have more success fighting the way he normally does...cautious, from range, counter punching, picking off his opponent but Conor did enough, was awkward enough, was long enough...and Mayweather adjusted...

Now, Mayweather says that was the game plan all along...you tell us we should believe Conor when he says he was fatigued...why shouldn't you believe Mayweather when he says the fight went exactly as he planned?

also, like ive already said...your 8 round argument holds no water...

1. Because it's a ridiculous hypothetical

And 2. Because if for some asinine reason it was only an 8rd fight, Mayweather makes that adjustment earlier and forces the issue

**** you spoon...just flat out...**** you. Mayweather goes out 50-0, no matter what you do, say, no matter how many slow mo h0mo threads you make, Mayweather will stay undefeated, and you will stay with that memory forever.

Floyd ruined Spoon23 forever. It's sad to only see him come alive and post a lot only when it's somehow related to Floyd.

[Spoon23]

They are crooks and always have been, that Is something that will never change. Mcgregor certainly deserves respect and did much better than anyone was giving him credit for. At 29 years old, It Is to late for Mcgregor to make the transition Into boxing permanently, IMO and I am not sure he would want to. If he would have had a few years under his belt he would have had a legitimate chance with this version of Floyd. I just don't see him being able to compete at 154 with anyone really. As you mentioned above, he needs serious help with his stamina and punching technique. He has a decent jab, but has no Idea how to leverage his punches so that they have any kind of Impact.

His technique is amateurish at best. But his raw talent was there to be seen. He really did some nice landed punches, from uppercuts, jabs, hooks, straight left, but yes, it lacks snap. It doesn't have the development of a seasoned boxer. That takes time.

Conor can improve if he wanted to.

In MMA we all know, there is more complexity to use hands, legs, knees, elbows, thus, their craft is to learn all, which is why their striking game can't be as good as a boxer since their training is divided to all sorts of fighting workouts for the legs, arms, knee strikes, and elbows etc.. While Boxing is a focused sport were it's only the arms and the fist is harnessed to improve.

Great post, spoon will never get it. He's just a pure hater. He sees everything through the eyes of a hater.

[RedZmaja]

Only true trained fighters will understand the incredible disadvantage McGregor was in. And he did it anyway, and hanged in there and gave a good account of himself for such a small amount of time to learn.

Conor went to a totally different sport and dominated the first 4 rounds.

That in itself is remarkable. Love him or hate him.

You don't understand anything about fighting if you think he "dominated" in the first 4 rounds.

He only won 1 round on 2 of the scorecards and who gives a **** about scorecards if you get stopped.

I'm 220 lbs, in shape and with amateur boxing experience. If I go in the ring with Andre Ward and go all out in the first round with crazy intensity and somehow steal the first round due to work rate against a smaller technical boxer who'd have no info on me and my style beforehand, would that mean I "dominated" Andre Ward even though he would eventually put me out of the ring in brutal fashion after I would inevitably gas? No, it would just mean that I was desperate against a much better boxer. But by the logic of Conor fans it would mean that I'm on his level skill-wise and I only lost because I gassed lol

Boxing is a game played over 12 rounds. Conor wanted to go all in in the first 4 round, that's why Floyd was cautious and gave him those first rounds knowing that the win (which is the ONLY thing that matters) would come eventually.

Conor talked a ton of **** just like his fans. I knew that he had no chance but if people talk completely crazy delusional **** they should be held responsible for their words.

Floyd didn't care if he got hit or not he was laughing all the way, for a guy that had so much size advantage all Floyd did was flick his pitter patter crap aside like a blowfly and just walked him down and stopped him.

Can you believe these people for a boxing forum what a fkn disgrace.

[stealthradon]

Wtf?

The guy is a seasoned vet who knew his sport since he was a child. It's called muscle memory and knowledge over a chosen sport as a mastery. Dude what's wrong with you?

Give props to the man he did more than was expected of him. A white belter did that to Floyd. You just have to live with that fact.

Did what exactly?

*An Andre Ward coming off retirement. And at the age of 40.

Connor the magician went from Irish Gorilla to Irish Stew.

1.Why Conor was fatigued?

Dude are you blind? The guys mouth was open on the 5th round. Not due to Floyd, but due to Conor punching himself out. Nothing hypothetical there.

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.


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 knew 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.

And like I said, Conor has 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.


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.

http://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.
