Boxing / Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Conor McGregor
« on: August 29, 2017, 07:39:18 am »I had to go out of town on friday, but came back yesterday night. But out of town, I already found out the result without watching the video, it was the blab of the town and people blabbing, but meh I knew this was going to happen so didn't really feel bad about the spoiler.
Ok, so the fight, which I watched later and I will be honest.
As we all expected, connor was never going to be good in boxing in his fight and that's exactly what happened. First few rounds mayweather was just not really putting any pressure on connor, and could tell connor was relying on his counter punch and awkwardness to get advantage, but connor had a poor jab, punches were weak, but when floyd would come in conor would come and hit floyd, ie. that uppercut lol. But wtf is with that hammering fist style, so many to the back of the head just annoys me on how unprepared he was and yet he is in the ring with floyd. Floyd did get caught sometimes because he would try and get in, but mayweather was being smart and just hitting few times while mcgregor did his thing.
One thing about conor was I could see he was uncomfortable and he didn't have a jab at all, what he did was try use his hands to keep him back and look for opening to hit, but even though the openings were there he didn't capitalize due to lack of experience so alot of the time he was unsure when to attack and mayweather would hit him right on the face and the body shot floyd through just looked powerful you could tell by connors reaction.
Later on the rounds mcgregor hands being tired and being sluggish and mayweather just started to turn it up and just when he saw connor breathing hard you can tell ok now lets go finish him and that's what floyd.
so my anger is on floyd that he feels satisfied with this win even though given the opponent's experience in boxing and doesn't deserve 50-0.
fwiw, floyd ducked all of the 50-0 questions. I don't think he's satisfied with it at all .. I believe he thinks it was just some entertainment and a fun event for "the fans".
I didn't hear him brag about 50-0, not once. In the clips I saw, he dodged all of that.Quotethe fight is also a slap across the face to the paying people who thought mcgregor had a chance 'srsly, you thought he stood a chance, sucka. Thanks for your money'
Connor wanted the ref to let floyd drop him lol, shows how different ufc is to boxing. I don't really respect connor more than before the fight, except for being able to land those shots, even though he looked terrible, but nvm.
and the ufc analyst during the tours was having too much high hopes in mcgregor and thought he had a chance lol. no chance.
I just can't believe so many people bought in to the Conor hype.. Let's imagine the opposite: Floyd going to fight Conor in the Octagon using MMA rules. If someone tried hyping Floyd at all i'd laugh so hard. I believe Floyd would have a legitimate chance if Conor just stood there and traded shots, but he'd never do that. He'd throw some leg kicks, take him down, and submit him in seconds. So, millions of people thinking they were going to see Floyd lying on the canvas bleeding, KO'd, hurt, etc, was just annoying to me. It's like reality doesn't exist anymore. lmfao.
Ye that is true he did try and duck those questions and try not to answer it, but i'm surprised he broke the pacquiao ppv record, this makes me realize that he made a good business choice in choosing Mcgregor because of the money and not because fans wanted, because only a few wanted it.
