He is a well known professional MMA fighter, he can take a lot of beating, great stamina and agility

why did he act like a complete noob in the ring?

Because MMA isn't boxing. They have a different set of rules and he was fighting someone who was undefeated in the ring. How does that not make any sense?

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

Conditioning.

He didnt KO him in the flurry of hits...
Arms down, easy target. McGregor was hoping for 2nd wind to kick in but Mayweathers offense made the ref call the match.

Mma fighters only train to have to fight for a certain amount of time

Floyd knew that and purposely drew out that fight as long as possible before going on the offense.

Nah, it's because Conor doesn't run and he has weak cardio and endurance. He did well in the boxing math, although he wasn't himself, but he needs to improve his conditioning. After the initial onslaught, he tires out quickly.

Stamina is what got him in the end. Match is way too long for an MMA fighter.

It was 3 minutes a round for 12 rounds. Big title MMA fights are what? 5 minutes for 5 rounds?

Did you really expect a non boxer to beat one of the best boxers ever? Not going to happen. If he trained in boxing for a decade maybe he would have a chance.

Also Boxers hit way harder than MMA fighters and have better footwork, defense (as far as standup/punches), chin, and speed.

MMA will always be at a super disadvantage in a boxing match against a boxer.

Now I understand

MMA fighters have weaker punches than any boxers, and move slower and weak defense

now I know
