He threw pointless punches, then got tired, then got toyed with.
Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather | Again?
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
Had to stop it at that point. Mayweather was battering him around silly.
Go to sleep
Floyd was only up by 2 rounds or so when he KO'd him. Not exactly a massive mismatch
Thought conor did as well as he could have. His best shot was knocking Mayweather out early.
He isnt a boxer.. did ok.
Shouldnt have been a fight. Easy money for both sides. Neither would be embarrassed.

Hate when people on here do this, lick their own arse like a dog licking his balls. Yeah you guessed and obvious thing, well in lad.
Easy work!
Why? Floyd isn't a power puncher and he's old and has slowed up. Connor can take a punch.
Floyd was always going to take a few rounds to size him up, tire him out and then go to work.
Was always going to take a round or two to figure him out. Plus, he respects his size. After round 3 he was landing at will.
Probably the way they've been marketing it. Constant mentions of McGregor being the underdog etc to hype it. Saying Mayweather beat an inferior opponent isn't as good a narrative for them.
Karl Froch is a nonce.
You put money on mcgregor winning?
Exactly, I get people want to stick the boot in because of his persona but i know many will have been surprised with his hands and movement, not troubling Floyd is no great shame.
I think it reflects poorly on the boxing 'purists'.
Floyd toyed with him. Credit to McGregor for getting into the ring but Floyd probably had tougher sparring sessions.
Ends with 50-0. Great boxer, not everyone's favourite but no denying that he knows how to win & tactically one of the best.

My thoughts, too. Easy for Floyd.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezey. McGregor totally outclassed, as expected.
He was genuinely doing alright in the early stages. Even in later rounds got in some decent punches.
Grats to all tko/itd bettors, Money May came through
Floyd' first KO since Hatton!
McGregor's size and gameness enabled him to last but I predicted a late round TKO, although I expected Floyd to work the body more.

I'm glad i didn't pay for this.
Not too bad a fight, but not great. Floyd wins as expected but Connor was still stood up and beating by being knackered not hurt. Pauli Malliganni said when he's hurt and tired he needs to learn how to survive, but he didn't really ever look hurt to me.
I'd say Connor was tired since round 6 but we saw him breathing heavier than Floyd since before that.

Someone's jealous? McGregor was well beaten there, but he is always humble after a fight, win or lose.
Yea 15k. I regret that decision now. I taught age will be a determining factor in this.
how do you guys reckon McGregor would do against the average boxer?
this did look a little staged.

It wasn't even close, man.
Floyd is the Mourinho of boxing, love the guy...
He stated that the fight wouldn't go the distance and he was right. Legend.
Should retire now though.

McGregor has gassed in UFC fights early enough and those fighters are nowhere near the class of Mayweather, nor are they fighting him in a sport in which he doesn't specialise. You could stage slowing down but he was clearly blowing, that wasn't staged that was him having run out of steam. The referee had to step in, he was offering nothing back and it was going to get dangerous. McGregor's reputation will rightly be enhanced, even if he offered very little, because he stuck in there for so long and Mayweather now has a lot of money to blow again.
It wasn't so obvious given half the people here thought McGregor had a good chance.
More money than senseAgainst a hungry boxer in his prime, with no ulterior motives? Even worse. Floyd was stringing him along for a while.
Depends who. Mayweather was arguably an ideal opponent for him because he's typically someone who takes it to later rounds. Someone more well-known for early knockouts would probably end it quicker.
Jesus.
Good job Conor tbf. Lasted more than 4 rds. Mayweather is boxing royalty and bossed it like he should.
Always humble? He spent the entire build-up promising to knock out the greatest boxer of this generation in 2 rounds.
The man's a greedy, shameless prick and an embarrassment to your country tbh.
It wasn't close in the end, but the individual rounds were very close.
No loser here ffs. Wish connor would have been floored in the first 5 rounds.
Mcgreggor did better than I expected for about 4 minutes from then on it became more and more embarrassing before becoming slightly worrying in 9 and 10.
It almost felt like a testimonial to Mayweather
