Why do boxing officials call this a knockout when a person is

Because they're "protecting" the athlete from getting a head boo boo

Boxing is the pussiest sport, with the way it's officiated you're more likely to get a head injury from football or baseball, and boxing is literally about getting whacked in the head.

>>77873085
>Best ever in the "sport"

>Needs a ref to decide
Is boxing officially dead now? We all know Floyd would've been unconscious within 30 second in an MMA fight.

>>77873174
I agree, boxers should fight until one of them gets a brain hemorrhage and dies for my entertainment.

>>77873210
No, but fights shouldn't be stopped the moment a fighter gains a modicum of momentum because they're afraid of getting a mild concussion in a sport about head whacking

>t. know nothing about what I'm talking about
boxers often develop serious long-term conditions from repeated, powerful blows to the head even with all the protection. letting boxers get smacked past the breaking point every fight isn't going to help that.

>>77873382
This is the biggest fight in the history of boxing, if not it's last biggest fight ever. I think a few more punches wouldn't have mattered and would have made it a much better ending.

Plus it's not even like Floyds punches were landing or even hurting him, Conor was more exhausted than dazed.

>>77873382
Most of that is from hard sparring, not in fight damage.

>>77873190
>I can't believe the one fighter in the ring still able to stand up and lift his arms won at boxing. These rules are b-bullshit!

MMA is a fucking meme

>>77873605
Except Conor was clearly able to stand up and lift his arms, he was just fatigued at that point. He obviously lost that round but he probably wasn't going to get knocked out

same happens in MMA no? there isn't even a ten count.

It was over a round before that. Dude was dead on his feet but he had too much pride to go down so ref had to end it for the sake of his health

>>77873634
>>77873728
he was stumbling around being stalked by mayweather offering no defence and throwing hardly any punches

i am glad for his sake that the ref had the sense to stop the fight, i am mystified as to why his supporters wanted him to keep getting punished with no chance of victory. bloodlust?

Like Conor said himself, he always gets a bit wobbly when he's tired, he wasn't hurt at all. He was letting floyd work and was planning to come back strong in the last 2 rounds. Ref should have let it go, at least let him get knocked down once or twice. Conor got refballed desu.

>>77873174

>>77873634
>clearly able to stand up and lift his arms

No he really wasn't, he was clearly nothing more than a punching bag at that point only barely aware what was happening. Even someone who has never watched boxing could tell that.

According to boxing logic, the ref should have stopped this fight right when Floyd got uppercutted

>>77873575
not even hard sparring, it's months n years of sub-concussive blows, it adds up and turns out to be worse than smoking.

>>Needs a ref to decide
You didn't see the fight?
Goobs shat himself like CM Punk. It was embarrassing.

>>77873959
Did lower his guard immediately after that, did he just wobble to the ropes, was he being a punching bag.

>>77873908
mayweather controlled the entire fight and was comfortably ahead on points. he also ate conors punches early on and barely even flinched. which shows that the whole "mcgregor just needs one punch" meme was total bullshit. explain to me exactly how mcgregor goes on to win the fight if the ref lets it go the distance, given that mcgregor was reeling and didnt even have his hands up when the ref called it in r10

>>77873937
Those aren't hard shots. You as a boxing fan might be impressed by a few pillowshots, Conor was not.

>>77874025
he just did a very good impression of a jelly legged punching bag then

>>77873908
this. conor wasn't rocked, but I also can't fault the ref for looking at conor stumbling and constantly about to fall over and giving a TKO. I still think Floyd would have won at the end since Conor never put Floyd in any danger, so a 12 round decision would go Floyd's way anyway (we saw what the judges thought of the early rounds where Conor clearly won but they still gave it to Floyd).

I think mid-way through the fight, Floyd changed his approach and put his hands up more so he could get closer to Conor and start getting fouls and shots in. Conor should have kept his distance more at that point.

>>77873985
I saw conor get tired, I saw him get wobbly like he always does, I saw the ref stop the fight early.

>>77873950
I think it meant MMA was TKO'd.
cuz it was

>>77874038
Yep, that's what he always does. Doesn't mean he's hurt, means he's tired. It was stopped early.

>>77873920
fight fans that don't have a fuckin clue are the norm.
Watch the old rocky movies, dudes standing toe-to-toe slamming each other in the head with a sound-effect like a fridge getting dropped onto concrete, anything other than that is seen as pussy-footing around.
Then you have that 2% who only watch to maybe see someone get fucked up badly.

To stop people from getting seriously hurt. You have to show the ability to defend yourself, or the ref will step in and stop it. McGregor clearly wasn't able to get his hands up to protect himself, nor throw any punches back. The guy was done, so the ref stopped it.

Why don't you do that then? Or if you're a quadriplegic, train up a fighter to just stand around and totally get titles.
I'm amazed at how simple it is to be a pro fighter, especially when you listen to the shit that pops out of spectators like this.

trips for truth.
it was pretty obvious Mayweather was in complete control the entire time, was never worried about Conor, had a plan and stuck to it, went to a strip club later, came home, had a bowl of Cheerios as he played Crash Bandicoot N Sane, then went to bed.

>>77873085
If a fighter loses his steps twice within 10 seconds, you can bet your ass that the officials will end the match. That's in every fighting game except MMA.

>>77874216
I agree, being punched in boxing hurts less, which is why the ref should've let it go.

>>77874220
Seriously though, Mayweather intentionally ducked and gave Colin his back constantly
Only the pussyshit rules of boxing saved Mayweather. Hes a dick and definitely not honorable

>>77874262

People said that about seat-belts in cars and still do. I've worked as a paramedic and it was only in the USA that i saw people at head-on crashes who had dived into the roof of their vehicles and crushed their heads down into their chests. I saw all these little white things all over the dash and thought they'd been eating popcorn, but it was all their teeth.
You just don't see those injuries where seatbelts are mandatory.
So yeah, doctors are nannies. They try to reduce the amount of illness and misery in the world and young people with their organs that are 90 years old from meth use, or porridged brains from sport make them all upset, go figure.

>>77873085
It's called a technical knockout. Because you didn't get knocked out, but you aren't defending yourself or fighting back. Knowledgeable fans won't say Floyd knocked out Conor, but it's fair to call it a stoppage or to say that Floyd stopped McGregor because he forced a stoppage.

anyone else think it was rigged

conor was beating his ass then suddenly went limp in like round 6

>>77874285
apparently they do not.
this fight is exposing them for being almost WWE-tier.

>>77873085
Clear to say you've never been in a fight, OP. You'd be fresh meat for everyone to eat, phaggot.

He was out and tired. He was punched out at round 5, round 6 to 9, he barely touched Floyd. Furthermore, he got hit with everything. Round 10 he was completely out.

As every hipster-MMA-fan said before the fight: "He is 40 years old, he will get killed".. after the fight: "He would get knocked the fuck out in the octagon". Yeah, a 27 year old got beat by a 40 year old, and yeah, he would maybe get killed in the octagon, but he is 40 right?

Put someone in their prime, for instance, Lomachenko or Joshua, they would rape any MMA-fighter in any corner of the octagon.

>>77874285
Oh cmon, floyd couldn't cause brain damage hitting a baby. Sure he would've won by decision after 12, but let's not pretend he could ever inflict any real damage.

I doubt that, Conor can come back after getting tired, he's done it before. He wasn't hurt, he was tired, that's all. The best boxer of all time can't even knock down a first time fighter. Boxing fags are kidding themselves thinking floyd would ever knock him out.

Nigga in what world? Floyd had that boy right where he wanted him, and the verdict shows it.

>>77874326
There's this thing, it's called defense, Floyd was playing it heavily while Conor tired himself out and open himself up for the KO.

If Floyd played like he normally did he would've won all 12 rounds easily, but there would've been no KO

>>77874401
it was a good stoppage. i wanted more at the time but looking back 4 or 5 more punches could have started affecting career longevity for conor

The thing is that it's easy to judge on this one, but the rules are rules and should be the same with everyone.

Had it not been Floyd in this occasion, but someone like Tyson, it would be more evident why the fight must stop at this point.

>>77874769

You see what you want to see. What the video actually shows is a man who has clearly lost his footing, can't hold his arms up, and takes every opportunity to hang by the ropes.

there is no way that man is any condition to fight back, look how slow he reacts

>>77874590
When's the last time someone got seriously hurt from getting beamed? Tim Tebow took a pitch to the head and was perfectly fine afterwords. It's more dangerous to get caught up on a base or trip in the outfield than it is to get hit by a ball.

You do realise that there's two fighters in the ring, not one. I'd like to see your fat ass dodge punches and fend off McGregor for 6 rounds and still have plentiful energy for another 6

>>77875871
But let's be serious, Floyd would never throw a punch that causes brain damage. Dude is like 5 feet tall with tiny hands.

The point is that he was unable to defend himself properly. Regardless of it was was from fatigue or damage he spend the last 30 or so seconds of that fight ONLY getting punched without any ability to move out of the way or block.

You literally have to be trolling to not agree with that after seeing the webm's posted of the KO

>>77876181
different style of TKO than this mate

Unlike MMA boxing is a proper sport, once one fighter has clearly won and the other has no chance of a comeback there's no point in carrying on and letting the loser get injured more seriously.

It's not a bloodsport like uf

>>77876330
But he was moving out of the way, floyd misses a lot, barely grazes him a couple of times, there was no real damage being done. I guess this is the difference between a fight and a boxing match.

>>77873634

If a fighter is incapable of protecting himself the ref has a duty to stop it

true, but they're both really fucking bad

MMA pussies think that punches from boxers at that weight won't do serious damage because they're used to the weak punches MMA fighters have, such as the ones Connor, a top UFC striker, displayed in this fight.

And because their sport is about two seconds old, these kiddos don't have the memory to recall all the death and brain injury that occurs when refs don't step in.

>>77876725
>MMA is safer for your head than boxing
Don't be naive, you can generate a lot more force to someone's head with a knee or a foot than you can with a punch

it's all just as fucking bad for your brain and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something

Let me break this down for the last time Floyd was 40 years old and Mcgregor was 29 no way you let a old man have better stamina than you Mcgregor fans your boy got setup for three rounds and he fell right in the trap Floyd knew dude had no power in his punches so he let him throw as many as he wanted Be greatful the ref stopped this fight because Mcgregor would be in the hospital right now if he didn't when the person punching you lands 88% of his punches in a round and you don't move what you thought the ref was gone do This ain't for all Mcgregor fans but for the dumbasses that thought he was gone win stop with all the excuses and just take that L he already got 3 so he use to them y'all should too..

You two are like two smokers arguing whether Marlboro or Camel is better for your lungs.

one thing people should tell from this fight is that connor is a damn good dodger. even before the call, he was slipping past a lot of punches

he wasn't able to keep his hands up on round 9, why are people defending the irish?

>>77876794
Your mentality is the reason why boxing sucks

>instructs mcgregor not to lean on him anymore
Also at what points should you call a fight when one man literally bends over and presents himself for the other man?

The larger surface area of the boxing glove delivers a broader range of shock to the body with each punch. You may stay conscious longer, but you're also going to suffer more damage in the long-term. That's the whole point of wearing the fat gloves.

Fighting closer to the knuckle increases the chances of a knockout, but also makes the damage more superficial, which is why you get all of the blood and lacerations in MMA, which also means a sooner end to the match.
Oh, and I'd bet money there was a contractual obligation to stop the fight before Conor hit the mat. Having the belligerent Irishman sleeping on the floor would be terrible for his image.

Connor kept his distance quite well, better than I expected from him. I know from experience that fighting while going backwards is very hard to do consistently.

If he hadn't he would've gone down much earlier in the bout.

>>77873085
because it was getting bad

conor never fought in a ring and stood toe to toe with one of the top 5 greatest boxers of all time (probably won a couple rounds)...

it shows you how boxing is more like fencing rather than real fighting, so they called it. conor didn't really have a shot at winning but still had a shot to knock him out, so the "ref" ended it. if conor would have knocked him out later, as tired as he was and as "bad" as he was getting "beat up" it would have killed boxing

Boxing is more demanding on the body than mma. That's why mcgregor, even in his best condition and young, wasn't able to handle the strain of the fight. MMA you throw a few times then stand against the cage or roll on the ground a bit. Boxing, every move tires you. You are constantly moving. Every punch you throw chips away at your stamina. Every time you get hit you are drained a bit more. Conor had no shot and Floyd kept him in it for the purpose of entertainment. When he decided to end it he did

>>77876991
He wouldnt have been in that state to begin with if the activist ref wasn't fucking him over the entire match. It was 2v1... and throw those two judges in there as well..

Not an argument, you're just going to play the "I was just pretending to be retarded" card in a few posts anyways, this is pointless.

Forgive me for my ignorance /sp/ but I thought boxers had 10 seconds to get up once they were knocked down? If Conor fell to the ground would he have gotten that same treatment?

So In the end conor went 10 rounds and landed more punches than most professional boxers (when boxing is 1/10 of conor overall mma training) vs floyd, and if floyd went to the octagon he wouldn't last 30 sec inside round 1, and imagine what he's gonna do to the fighters in the ufc when he went 10 rounds with the best boxer of all time his boxing compared to other fighters now is amazing

Mayweather could have ended that fight within the first three or four rounds if he had wanted to, and if you don't agree with that then you are an idiot.

I like McGregor, I wanted him to win, he's a great fighter - but this wasn't a fight (despite what he and Dana White said for promotional purposes) - it was a boxing match, and in boxing, which is a very particular discipline, Floyd has twenty years of experience and has beaten the most talented guys in the sport.

MMA is just so massively different, you've got a massive octagon, you're attacking with all your limbs in any way you want to, you're grappling, it's a completely and totally different sport from boxing in every single way imaginable.

Mayweather lost the first 3 rounds, the 4th was close. He also lost the 8th round. He ducked and turned his back to Conor twice. For someone claiming to be The Best Ever he was having a lot of trouble with this first timer.

>>77873959

Trouble? If he was having trouble he wouldn't have kept walking forward when he was getting hit with those weak ass punches. He literally was walking to him with just his guard up the whole fight, and not using any of the head movement he is known for. He followed his plan.

Because he was letting Conor have a pop - he even said in the post-match interview that was his strategy, to let Conor tire himself out. If Floyd had beat him early on, everyone would call the fight a total farce, they'd be up in arms.

I can't believe I'm having to explain this to you.

>>77879567
He wasn't just "tired" (although that was a factor), he was nearly concussed from being smacked in the head - watch the fight again and in those 9th and 10th rounds he took a lot of blows to the head repeatedly.

nethercuck LEAVE boxing is strategy, wanna know why those other fighter didn't hit floyd as much as mccuck? because they know they have a certain amount of punches in the before they are gassed, and mccuck the dumbass threw more than a professional boxer in less time so of course the dumbass ended up getting laid out early AF, conor got in plenty of clean hits on floyd and NONE EVEN PHASED HIM because conor cannot punch as hard as the majority of pro boxers floyd has faced and beat, conor never had the strategy and he never had the power, he never had the fight, EVER

>>77874288
eww you can almost see his brains flying out of his nose

>>77874326

>conor was beating his ass then suddenly went limp in like round 6

There's a very real reason for that: MMA fights don't go longer than five rounds, and it's pretty rare for bouts to reach that length. McGregor was out of gas - like asking a sprinter to run a marathon.

>>77879819
He was wobbly as fuck from repeated punches to the face and head in the 9th and 10th rounds. He did well to stay on his feet, he was nearly gone

Conor boxed so badly that he gave Floyd "Pillow Punch" Mayweather his first legit TKO.

>>77879959

He wasn't fighting back and was totally gassed, you could see it in his eyes.

He was probably extremely thankful it got called at that point where he could save face (rather than having to see his unconscious heemed body on headlines for the next few weeks)

He gets money and to say that he "played it close" with Mayweather in boxing, literally his best case scenario

>>77880071
That's an MMA fight not a boxing match where one guy is clearly being fucked up and close to being knocked out, and clearly isn't doing a great job of defending himself

>>77880071

Boxing isn't MMA. He was well past his usual point of conditioning, it's extremely taxing. Mayweather had set him up to become a gassed punching dummy by that point.

Why are you even comparing this to Diaz. That is inane.

>>77880090

MMA does a better job at orotecting the fighter than boxing. In MMA, when you are rocked, the opponent knocks you out, match is ended. In boxing, the shitty rules allow you to clinch and continue even though you have clearly been concussed (literally conor at the end).

>>77880144

Oh wait, no, you'll then complain that it's a rigged fight by the judges who automatically give May the win "no matter what happens in the ring".

>>77880144
You really are a faggot aren't you

b/c boxers + the heavier glove = a far far more dangerous hit than some fucking MMA hammer punch lol. Bare knuckle is actually the safest form of fighting.

yeah boxing is seriously pretty nuts. They actually let you get a concussion and then you have to try your hardest to get back up, usually only to get concussed a second time. I think MMA grew b/c of it being much safer.

It's not Mayweather's fault that Conor wasn't defending himself or fighting back at that point.

he's Dutch, of course he hasn't, that's why they have WW2 memorial statues praising the UK and Canada lol

>Ref stoppage is a thing in MMA too
Do you really want to compare MMA stoppage vs the stoppage in this "fight"? I don't think you really do.

Conor should've defended himself or fought back.

His arms were down and he's getting heavy hits from fucking Mayweather, who's known to be conservative with his shots.

He's so shitty at boxing he became target practice.

>>77880319
it's the same, the refs always tell you to defend yourself at all times and always stop a fight when a person stops defending themselves and just sits there and takes it, that is literally WHY the person aka mccuck sits there and takes it because he knows before hes been hit enough by floyd to rearrange his skull the ref will stop the fight and he gets to look real tough for his mentally handicapped fans like yourse

don't say a fucking word to me you 3rd world piece of shit

He was still ducking a lot of the shots.

>it's the same
When a fight is stopped in MMA it's because one of the two is losing consciousness. This fight was stopped because one of the two was tired.

This.

Anyone who watched the full fight and saw the context the ending call was made in, knows Connor was exhausted and was not even put up his arms at that point.

Connor and butthurt /pol/ Anons can do damage control forever and say the fight was stopped too early, but everyone else can see Connor was not going to get his energy level back to fight at the level he was in the earlier rounds. The gas tank was empty.
