DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's not a 5k you stupid f**k. Define "elite athlete" pls? McGregor was breathing out his arse by the later rounds so he does have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I think you mean if it was a real fight mayweather would be sleeping within a minute after getting a shin to the cheek.The way the best boxer makes a Mockery of mma is to not get hit, not to let him hit you over 100 times for a laugh. You really are clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My late uncle chose not go full time at boxing and still threw in 7 mile runs before and after his work on building sites, 15 rounds back then right enough so he still had to have a high level of fitness.

Ira Gaines Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 There will actually be people stunned today that a non-boxer lost a boxing fight against a guy who was 49-0 going in. Just think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Let's go through these... Not Conor Mcgregor. A top boxer, Tennis player, Rower, distance runner, footballer. I could go on. The MMA guys are not on the same level. Top boxer - Canelo at 160 (this exact sport) Tennis - Rafael Nadal Distance Runner - Mo Farah Footballer - Ronaldo Aye but Buncy and Co all gave him the 1st 3, I think the payroll is a lot bigger than we think. Boxing journalists gave McGregor rounds? What's their motive? Take it for what it was, an exhibition fight.To class this as #50 is ridiculous. How many shots did Berto land? Guerrero? Ortiz? In a way I'm glad it ended up being an exhibition bout, the publicity would have been horrific if McGregor was getting carried out with a bleed on the brain or something similar, probably wouldn't have been as glad if I had paid for it right enough. He won three rounds! More than Berto, Canelo and Pacquiao put together! I don't know, if he'd landed another couple of heatseekers Floyd would have been in trouble. Is anyone credible claiming this?

mrcat1990 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's certainly one to talk about for years to come, not the outcome obviously as that was a foregone conclusion as soon as the fight was announced. It's the fact that there's people out there genuinely stupid enough to believe, that Conor McGregor had a chance in a boxing ring against Floyd Mayweather. Id rather the body of this was put in an acid vat and the bones burned so any evidence of it ever existing is gone. Just embarrassing really.

J_Stewart Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Reminded me of GGG v Brook in some ways (albeit with a far, far bigger gulf in class). Mayweather - like Golovkin - realised from the earliest of early bells that he couldn't be hurt by what was in front of him, so just moved forward only paying lip service to any real defence. 99% certain he could have stepped it up at any time he wanted.Punch stats in this instance are completely redundant also, the vast majority were just McGregor pawing his arm out to try and keep Mayweather back, they may have been counted, but they weren't actually punches in the true sense of the term.In saying that though, from a glance at twitter, the vast majority of "the casuals" seemed to enjoy it, neither fighter got hurt or particularly embarrassed, both made a fortune, UFC and Showtime will have done a massive buyrate, and boxing/UFC will have increased their profile. A win, win, win for all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I actually thought it was Ricky Burns fighting Mayweather for a few rounds given the power behind McGregors punches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Well below what could be described as a decent fight, glad I didn't pay for it! Not sure why so many seem surprised though. It's what Mayweather has spent his whole career doing, giving the bare minimum to get past much better opponents than McGregor. It's the reason his record isn't given the recognition it might deserve. He was hardly going to be pushed to 'up' his game to beat a guy he could afford to offer a few free rounds to take a quick look at before shutting him out for the rest of the fight. No surprises, the bookies must be pissing themselves at the amount of money they took on McGregor![emoji47] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Just watched it on YouTube. Both weren't great tbh, but mayweather started trolling him with ease. How McGregor even thought it was close is beyond me as Floyd had many more gears. McGregor has a mouth on him which makes him a lot of money; but he's miles off pro boxing and certainly not the best pound for pound mma fighter.

Alan Stubbs Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 To continue the definitely not overdone sports metaphor theme; comparing the stats from that to Mayweather's other fights is like reading a lot into some Malaysian mob popping up with a goal against Real Madrid in June. It was a bit of a laugh which predictably, everyone came away with a contrived moral victory from. I dare say the MMA fans getting their spreadsheets out and the boxing purists thrashing their maggots about saving £19 are both taking this a bit too seriously.
