Mayweather vs mcgregor?

PaulSavage said:You don't carry someone by getting hit 111 times. Floyd landed 50% of power punches because he threw them when conor was extremely tired.

'Explained so everyone will understand what really happened last night:

Now to all of you non boxing folks that don't know what happened last night but feel the need to tell those involved in the sport that Floyd is a bum. Here it is from the mouth of a VETERAN PRO BOXER Allan Green

Ok, about the fight. For people who dont understand boxing. What you saw was a 29 year old fighter who outweighed a 40 year old who hadnt fought in 2 years by about 20 pounds get walked through. What Floyd did was simple, he walked him down with a high guard, barley through any punches the first 3 rounds. He played chess with the young man. Connor didnt know any better and just kept throwing punches at Floyds guard which cast the illusion that he was doing well. Granted he landed some but guess what? He was never in the fight, the way Floyd did him was the way most pros spar with amateurs. We play with them, let them do their thing, smile at them (which Floyd did) and keep walking them down because we already know where its going. Connor just kept throwing punches and Floyd kept coming forward. Around the 5th round it turned into Connor throwing punches to keep Floyd off of him as opposed to initiating offense. As any boxer knows, when you start doing that its the beginning of the end. Connor didnt run out of gas, thats not how it works. Floyd ran him out of gas, Floyd drained him. By walking him down, touching his body and blocking his punches. He wanted to show Connor that he didnt have power by boxing standards. He got drained, he couldnt hurt Floyd, and eventually got walked through like wet paper. But people say Floyd was supposed to be the runner. Connor was the only one trying to stay away from Floyd. The pressure was too much for him. Thats why everytime Floyd got close he would grab Floyd hold on for dear life like a kid hugging his father. He had moments because Floyd allowed him to but ultimately ended up getting mauled. Battered helplessly on the ropes. Again, he didnt run out of gas. Floyd drained him. We're all grown here, so lets not start the retarded "Floyd should come to the Octagon now" stop. Floyd is 40, was retired, Connor talked himself into an ass whoopin and he got it. No one was saying Toney should fight Couture in a boxing match. Hell, Ray Mercer knocked out Tim Sylvia in the Octagon and Ray Mercer has loss in the Octagon. Its combat sports, it happens. So if you thought Connor had a chance of winning, slap yourself right now and you arent allowed to talk about fighting for at least a month. This is chess not checkers.'

Boar said:I agree 100% with Allan Green - it must have been the easiest night for Floyd since he cant remember.

I had a fiver on Conor , but all I wanted was it not be a boring exhibition, which I think it turned out to be, I have no regrets paying 20 notes as I enjoyed the overall event.

I have very limited boxing experience but I did 'spar' with a pro and he was never, not for 1 second , concerned with my punches , he only lightly tapped me when I made a mistake

secretly I think conor must feel a bit embarrassed, as he must know Floyd wasn't really trying.

He isnt being slagged off, people are just pointing out he was never in the fight.

The above says otherwise. He didn't take those body shots and uppercuts 'to make it look more competitive' he was hurt multiple times to the body and folded over by one with payroll ref saving him. You can clearly see him trying to block and dodge and not being able to. He was losing the fight until conor tired, plain and simple. With the experience he gained/more conditioning conor would win rematch.

So your saying that the all blacks play barca once at the new camp they would win the 2nd game due to experience?

Connor is a GREAT fighter but NOT a boxer like the all blacks aint a football team. Just because you strike in UFC dose not mean anything as its a different kind of striking. Connor would be the first to admit that now and has achieved a great achievement in what he has done but he just isn't a boxer.

He's said exactly the same as me after the fight / scored it the same as me.
