You know, this guy did actually manage to impress me. Being at

isnt that how most of floyd's fights go? Its hard to tell if he did anything impressive at all

>hammer fist to the back of the head
>continuously trying to wrestle floyd

nigga should have been dq'd TbH

WTF were those love taps he was throwing? His punches had 0 power behind them...

>power puncher
>punches have 0 power on them

Canelo would KILL this little shit lmao

>>77856397
i wasn't impressed. the punches both the guys were throwing much harder punches in the previous, and i think they were in a lower weight class.

also not surprised a boxer beat an mma dude in a boxing match. anyone expecting different was fooling themselves.

>>77856690
I think it was in round 5 where he wrapped his arms around him and it looked like he was about to yank Mayweather up in the air to slam him on the ground.

Mayweather gave him the early rounds so he would gas later.

>>77856836
this is literally what floyd has been doing.

He'll let the opponent use up energy trying to get KO for the first few rounds trying to adapt to their style. Floyd then takes over after the 4-5th round for the long haul.

>>77856397
He looked better than most against Mayweather because Mayweather didn't fight like he usually does. Mayweather wanted to knock the cunt out so he came forward and acted more aggressively, which opened him to shots that no one else usually gets

>>77856397
>Being at your first professional boxing match and lasting 9 whole rounds against the undefeated champion isn't something I'd expected.

That's because you don't watch boxing. Mayweather doesn't knock people out even when they are hurt in the first four rounds. This fight meant nothing.

I thought he was gonna quit on his stool but he did it the hard way and took a beating. Respect.

>>77856836
This plus McGregors punches were pretty weak. Mayweather took those rounds easy.

He was playing with him

>>77857821
Oh I understand that very well. I still think potatoman managed to do bretty gud for a first timer.

>>77857422
Yup, doesn't matter if potato could have gone 2 more rounds, he was never going to hit a stronger punch.

>>77856397
Mayweather deliberatly dragged it that long.

>>77856690
>turns his back against him
>ducks repeatedly to imply there's a hammer
I was going for Floyd but then I wanted to see Conor do a spinning kick to his jaw for that bullshit.

>>77856573
This, You can never tell since the fights go for to long. Like watching some type of chess match but the pieces move faster only on certain turns.

>>77856692
His idea was to go out punching since he knew he couldn't win by decision. But this isn't UFC with three babby rounds. Boxing is about stamina and too many careless jabs gets you winded. That being said, his unorthodox style had Floyd confused at the start and he lost his composure. If Goobs didn't tire himself out, he could've actually won by decision, which is the biggest surprise of this fight. As someone who watches boxing and barely any MMA, I have to say that was impressive.
I knew he was going to lose but he put up a good fight.

>>77856834
I was about to put money on Connor pulling a submission at round 5 just out of reflex. Honestly was really hoping to see some UFC move disqualify the fight.

>>77858343
this,

there were a lot of opportunities in rounds 6-9 to counter where mayweather let mcgregor wear out. like almost a dozen.

ive always thought mma were slow handed compared to boxers. dangerous, but slow. this affirms that thought. mcgregor will never box again.

No he couldn't of, the official scorecard fucked him and they all had him only winning the first round

>>77856836
It was half that and half not knowing how to deal with such a strange style. Same way professional baseball batters can't land a single hit against softball pitchers.

>>77856836

You fucking disgrace get out of my country

>>77859242
Up until the 8th round they were tied.

>>77859354
Now do it in the Octagon with heem rules and you have a first degree murder on your hands.

>>77859375
Do you have to use the metric system for all your jokes?

Being gassed out is a worldwide term you lobsterback

>>77856690
To be fair, Mayweather did some nigger shit like turn his back towards Connor a few times. Also the fake low blow that even the ref was sold on

>>77859509

>in the octagon

Put him in against Kovalev (another 170+ lbs fighter) and I would give the boxer a legit shot. A much better shot than I would give Conor against any 170+ boxers especialyl after he got whooped by a former 125 lbs boxer

>>77859420
They weren't and you know that.

Translation: Op is massively butthurt and is trying to appear superior despite supporting McGregor.

This is so fucking funny. Just look at all the many ways McGregor fans are coping. Yesterday, McGregor is a world class fight. Now his own fans are admitting he is shit in attempt to save face. Just pathetic.

>>77859630
Yeah, but McGregor thought he was in the MMA ring with those hammer punches.

Speaking of which, Fonseca got screwed. Davis should have been disqualified.

>>77859882

So now that you've had a taste of boxing, how about watching more than this joke of a fight?

>>77856397
This whole ordeal just shows how many retarded and/or underage people hyped this up on 4chan. Any objectionable person would agree he did far better than he should of, the whole thing was pretty silly really I feel sorry for people who payed to watch it.

Why was Floyd clearly letting Conor hit him in the early rounds?
Why wasn't Conor putting power into his punches while Floyd was letting him hit him in the early rounds?

>>77856397
Yup. Glad he got the money for his family

>>77860970
The undercard was full of bad fights.

>>77860970
Impressed by McGregor's resilience, not his performaance. He was fucking trash, that stance, those hammers, he was clearly a rookie.

>>77858642
only because McGregor continually went for back of the head punches and rabbit punches throughout the whole fight. Not to mention the weird side clinches like he thought it was allowed.

>>77856397
>You know, this guy did actually manage to impress me

You have low standards

>>77861005
Giving people a show, that's why Connor wanted Mayweather to knock him out & was pissed off at the ref for calling it early

>>77859696
It wasn't the illegal punches that would have had him DQ'd, no. You're right

>>77860970
>how about watching more than this joke of a fight?
I watched all the other fights tonight and they were were worse

not even a mmafag

>>77861064
Try watching Canelo v. GGG

>>77861095
Resilience versus a fighter known for dancing and wearing out an opponent. He lost the minute UFC time ran out.

>>77859375
Mayweather gave him the early rounds so he would petrol later.

>>77861326
Try watching boxing more from a strategic angle as opposed to just knock outs.

>>77861237
Those early rounds made it seem fixed to me.

Connor was allowed to hit Floyd, but made absolutely no attempt to KO him.

>>77861421
Not him but that's like saying people watch nascar for the races

They watch boxing to see people get knocked the fuck out

>>77861511

he had no punching power. almost everything he threw was off balance.

floyd looked a bit thrown off by his size and a little more skill - but it's not like he was ever in any danger.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU BOXING CASUALS MCGREGOR ONLY APPEARED TO DO WELL IN THE FIRST 3 ROUNDS BECAUSE FLOYDS M.O. IN EVERY FIGHT IS TO TAKE IT EASY THE FIRST 2 ROUNDS AND START GOING IN ON THE THIRD. THERE WAS NO POINT WHERE MCGREGOR HAD A CHANCE. HE WAS DEAD AT ROUND 4.

>>77860970
Boxing is pretty boring desu

The rules enable really boring styles, it's why the sport is dying

>>77862525
You guys are the ones who complain about the sport dying. All I'm telling you is why

>>77860970
Or try watching an actual decent sport.

>>77859509

how would he kill him? not with those girly punches that's for sure.

>>77856397
The more rounds the fight lasts, the higher Mayweather's chance of winning is. Trying to end the fight early would just be stupid. It's not his style.

Heavyweights boxing is where it's at.

The lightweight manlets lack knockout power which makes the fights endless

>>77858830
Have you ever seen a chess match? Pieces do move faster on certain turns.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgSCM4175jM

he legitimately boxed very well for the first 5 rounds. I guess that might also mean that he didnt box well considering that its supposed to go 12, but fuck that analysis he impressed me aswell. blog off.

>>77862559
The rules enable people not getting their brain destroyed, much like the NFL.
>>77862565
I wouldn't say it's dying, I'd say it's stagnating
>>77862643
I find it to be a decent sport. Decent enough for the Olympics, too.

>>77856397
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ2xMBG0afY This is for the Irish.

>>77856826
This is what I actually want to see now lol. All the butthurt MMA fans get their chance at a rematch against a boxer by having Canelo and McGregor fight.

>>77863207
>The rules enable people not getting their brain destroyed
From what i've seen in this combat, it also prevents them from getting their pimples blown.

What was Connor's strategy? I keep seeing Floyd's strategy repeated over and over, but what was Connor's?

>>77863652
Show up, jump around like a faggot, get rich.

>>77863523
So you have only watched this fight in this case. Again, go ahead and watch some more fights.

>>77863652
This >>77863695 and the Mike Tyson strategy, except failing because you actually suck at boxing.

>>77863736
Considering this is the absolute trash they hype up, I won't even bother.
It's Pacqiao all over again.

>>77863652
throw it all in the first few rounds hoping to land a lucky 1

>not realizing he can still get up and continue fighting after a knockdown unlike ufc

>>77863652
It looks like it was to hit Floyd early and hard and go for the KO. Given that Conor started to show the first signs of fatigue by the end of the 3rd round, I think he knew that going the distance was not going to happen.

>>77862537
But he lost the fourth you fucking retard. Floyd is a slow starter but still got thrown off by McGregor's "angles" and "awkwardness."

>>77863779
So then stop posting about boxing since you don't care about it in the slightest and go have fun with other activities you enjoy. Easy.

>>77856397

I don't like McGregor and didn't think he'd make it past the 5th, but he can hold his head high with the performance he brought today.

>>77863883
No, after falling for it twice, I actively want to see this sport die so they stop trying to hype up this kind of garbage events.

>>77863920
Getting tired and getting punched every now and then?

>>77856397
Yes, we should be appreciating how well Conor did. But instead it's just pathetic Conor stans who cannot accept their golden boy lost. It's sad.

>>77856397
Mayweather goes for victory on points
lasting less than 12 rounds against him means you're shit
