Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather | Again?
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
Hatton got sparked out and dazed and confused by Mayweather, McGreggor was gassed and stopped by the ref. Its a stoppage in boxing but Connor was on the way to falling over from his own movement.
I don't know UFC so well, people say Mcgreggor suffers with cardio but he certainly looked to be breather heavier since even round 3 or 4 IMO. 6 he was tired.
2 rounds? No he wasn't. He was up around 5 or more.
And of course Conor isn't a pro boxer. It all evens out in the end.
You didn't actually bet 15k did you?
McGregor was a Novice.
Shoud've put 15k on.

It is the perfect strategy against a bigger game fighter who can't box. Conor let the occasion get to him a came out giddy, he proceeded to expend all his energy and became very scatty and was there to be taken apart. It is what you would expect from a novice.
Floyd has been renowned throughout his career for making 'adjustments' in fights and learning in the early rounds before taking over, credit to him as well because he does it all himself as all uncle Roger advises in his corner is to 'whup his ass'. Not many fighters can work out strategy themselves as the fight evolves.
The rope-a-dope strategy you allude to was also used very famously by Muhammad Ali.

Floyd threw like 8 punches the 1st two rounds. That's it. He was clearly feeling him out.
And no he wasn't going to knock out McGregor after 10 seconds...that's never been him.
He was mouth breathing in the second.
The guy on Showtime only had Floyd up by one round as of round 8. The judges had him up a couple more rounds though.
He was, indeed.
Bollocks argument really. McGregor at least has boxing experience even if it's amateur and I bet it's a damn sight easier to go from MMA to pure striking. Mayweather's never been in an octagon and probably has no clue about takedowns and the rest. Plus the massive weight difference.
Rematch in a Hell in a Cell shoot fight with weapons, climbing on the top of the cage and Mick Foley somehow flying off and landing through an announcer's table then through the cell roof to the ring and then smiling with his tooth in his nose for a cameo.
Hatton actually boxed for more than 3 rounds though.
UFC only has 3 rounds of 5 mins (or 5 of 5 in title fights) so it's a bit different.
I know! Their fake smile freaked me outI actually hate it
I was thinking that.
So, why the feck did this happen?
Aye, even in the UFC he can be gassed in 10-15 minutes.
It was a one off financial opportunity for both of them.
Had to check your recent postings to see if I could find more about your bet
But this post puzzled me. You put 15k on a fight but not able to find a few quid to buy the Ppv?
Spot on. At least he can return to cage wars with his tail firmly between his legs.
"Taking over boxing"
what a delusional bellend.Can't believe anyone pays $100 for this.
Hey guys I've overslept and missed this, anyone know where I can watch the full replay of it? pm me thanks.

Mostly because millions of us idiots ate it up, two boys bullshit each other for a few months and laugh all the way to the bank, like they were likely doing all the time off camera.

6-10 rounds was the general consensus. Mayweather could've went for the stoppage any time during the mid-to-latter rounds.
Well, yes. But why is it allowed? How is it not a disgrace to the sport? We're just paying some bloke to suffer brain damage. We all know he can't win. It's just a question of how many hits to to head it takes before the referee stops it.
So much salt in here.
He must have misunderstood the letter k

Mcgregor kept mentioning Floyd's age in the promos, and how he's in peek shape while floyd is washed up. Looked as if Floyd could've gone an hour more while Conor started fading from round 5.
Much more entertaining than i ever could have thought it would be. Props to Connor. Impressed, just too bad the fight wasnt over after 5 rounds. Lol.
It was just a matter of time. Good night for all involved. Floyd takes his win and money. Connor puts in a decent shift and gets his money. While the UFC got to see their superstar be just not good enough to leave them for good.

Holly Holmes and plenty of other boxers made the transition and uses boxing as their main tool to get by.
What you described up there is what goes on in the WWE.
From the 5th round on it looked like Mayweather had gone hiking, barely missed a forward step and was throwing all sorts of stupidness. Utterly took him apart.
Why not do it? It's fun to watch. That's the whole point behind sports
