People who say act like Connor getting gassed is part of some 5d chess by mayweather have never watched him fight before. The guy is gassed after 3 rounds in the UFC, he just has shit stamina. +1 he really tried hard to pace himself as he usually throws out heavy everything early on. of course, he also has tons more tools in MMA all of which works wonders for him. being his first big boxing match i guess i'm disappointed he didn't go for broke especially since he already landed a damn nice uppercut in first round. --- Not being able to land shoryuken consistently on one method of input as opposed to another is a matter of preference - zedzilla http://i.imgur.com/9Yv0R2Z.jpg <cite>AsucaHayashi posted [p:885520453] in Idk man I'...

How many times did he roll off so quickly that Mcgregor looked like he was trying to hit him in the back before he even knew it? McGregor knew the only chance he had was a lucky hard punch and Mayweather knew that McGregor knew, so he let him do his bullshit for a couple of rounds and then got busy.

XXHornDogXX 08/27/17 2:05:09 AM #57:	The fight was well worth the wait and hype. McGreggor did good. Regardless, watching this makes me realize how much more entertaining MMA is imo, since it's just pure raw fighting. Boxing is more of an art, and requires a lot more stratagey and thought process due to all the rules. But I get why people like and appreciate it. It's like comparing high stakes professional Poker to the highest level of play of Magic!/Hearthstone/etc. although they're all card games technically, they all require different sets of skill and are intended to target different audiences. <cite>XXHornDogXX posted [p:885520833] in Idk man I'...

I'm pretty much exactly in the same boat as you. His accuracy was low, as Floyd was doing his job of messing up his rhythm, but he did get more clean hits, so the first three were definitely Conor's. Floyd easily won round 4, and it was either 5 or 6 that I had conor as barely squeaking by. By the end of round 6, Conor was pretty gassed out. And then in the early part of round 9, Conor had a few good flurries, but used up whatever was left in the tank, because right after, he got wrecked, barely escaping into the 10th. --- All Hail http://i.imgur.com/uzIx6Jp.gif <cite>devilminion posted [p:885520839] in Idk man I'...

Floyd may be a dumbass in every other aspect of life but he knows boxing, it's why he's 50-0. So this was about expected, Mayweather isn't a "I KO YOU" boxer, so anyone expecting him to just outright drop McGregor should have known better, but anyone who knows anything about anything should have also known that McGregor really stood no chance.

Conker 08/27/17 2:52:18 AM #66:	What I don't understand is why the fuck Conor played right into Mayweather's strategy. Every non-braindead person I know that watches fighting of any kind had agreed with analysts that the fight would go this way. Mayweather would take the first few rounds defensively to analyze Conor and figure him out, let him get gassed in the mid rounds, and finish him in the later mid rounds. Yes, Conor made it to the 10th, and I was rooting for him, but how did his camp let him play right into Mayweather's shit when even novice fans that have seen any of his fights knows that's exactly what he does to every boxer. Conor had numerous times he gassed himself that he could have played defensively and not thrown worthless jabs in the mid rounds. I'm not saying it would change the outcome entirely, but after the 2nd and 3rd round, he got sloppy...even without Mayweather laying it on him, he was just getting confident and playing into the game like a complete dumbass. I thought for sure that's the one major thing his coach would make sure he didn't do! "You get gassed in UFC fights, don't wear yourself out by the 5th round if you want any chance of going the distance with this guy." Either play it to last or go all out in the first two rounds leaving everything on the table. He should have just gassed himself in the second and hope he got a big left while throwing to the wind. Instead he went for the jab game and I was continually saying to my wife (after the one uppercut he got in the first) that he's just wearing himself out as there's zero chance that's going to really damage Floyd. It just pisses me off cuz I'm not a huge fight fan, I've watched maybe 20 boxing events in my life and probably 50+ UFC events and even I could see this trap a mile away. Again, I don't think it wins McGregor the fight, I'm not that delusional, but it would have either been more interesting early (it was fairly fun to watch but I was never going...holy shit he could win this!) or he'd at least have survived the fight and had a lot more respect than to have been completely toyed with. --- If you don't want to argue about something, take the initiative and stfu.
