Ludo*1 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I don't see any appeal in watching Conor try and rise up the boxing ranks. That ref needs to explain himself there were a f**k tonne of fouls in that fight. Think the ref just gave McGregor a little leeway, don't think it was that big of a deal tbh.

Aladdin Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 All thats done to show is that boxing and MMA are completely different sports. McGregor needs to get back to the UFC and take on Ferguson, Khabib etc. Boxing needs to move forward with the GGG v Alvarez, Lomachenko v Rigondeaux fights and the AJ/Wilder/Fury love triangle.

This, by the middle of the fight the illegal punches were barely hurting mayweather if any indeed did, not like they influenced the fight at all, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Without watching it, I'm guessing McGregor didn't have the footwork nor technical ability to get near Mayweather never mind hurt him. Tired himself out chasing Floyd down with wild shots before being picked off at will by Mayweather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Think the ref just gave McGregor a little leeway, don't think it was that big of a deal tbh. I get that initially but it was most of the fight. Doesn't look good on him if he's giving preferential treatment. Everyone in the ring need to be treated equally.

Tired himself out chasing Floyd down with wild shots before being picked off at will by Mayweather. His footwork was alright. Didn't really go in with wild shots, just shots that didn't have any power in them because Mayweather was walking him down and he was shattered. If anyone was doing the chasing, it was Mayweather.

pittsburgh phil Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Mayweather will have had tougher sparring sessions than that, he wasn't even breaking sweat there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only was he chasing him down, he wasn't even worried in the slightest about getting hit, MMA chins are obviously more glassy than boxing chins. The fight only became an official result if 4 rounds were completed, I think that tells you all you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

port-ton Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 McGregor landed the 2nd most punches on Mayweather in his boxing career, which for someone with a 0-0 boxing record at least has to be respected.111 punches landed compared to Pacquaiao's 81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Lasted longer than Hatton. Threw more punches and landed more in less rounds than Pacquiao. Fair fucks to McGregor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I see Conor landed 30 more punches than Pacman and 6 less than Canelo. Folk loving that on Twitter. If this was a real fight Floyd wouldn't let Conor touch him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
