I will watch it again and look at it round by round. Mcregor may not have been knocked out in his previous matches even though wobbled but if you are gassed out then the odds have increased by nearly double.
Note: watching while I am typing here. Anthem has finished. Connor mcgregor team outfit, looking like old day gangsters lol.
ref seems to be only looking at mcregor when giving instructions.
ya that was weird, but, as the fight played out, it made perfect sense. Conor was doing tons of dirty shit.. i'm personally glad the ref let him do it though. If the ref had protected mayweather too much, we'd have people whining non stop about the fight.
fwiw, floyd did some good slick dirty shit to him in the middle rounds, as payback basically.. lots of forearm to the throat/face lmfao.
love when the ref pushed mayweather.. jajaja
Round 1:
Mcgregor on the attack, hands awkwardly in front and above, but he is looking good with the jabs and mayweather with the shell. Mcgregor a bit hesitant a few minutes on and pressure is gone. Mayweather just doing nothing and when he tries to come it gets hit. mcgregor show off does nothing. I don't understand mcgregor keeping hands stretched out but nice uppercut. Mcrgegor tired a little. But round to mcgregor as mayweather did little to none. Uppercut did little damage but still landed.
Conor: 10-9
i laughed so hard when Floyd got hit with that uppercut.. felt like i was on the street courts and someone who wasn't supposed to be able to do someone dirty, just broke their ankles. I could picture people running around going crazy laughing/yelling.. that was hilarious.
Floyd didn't expect that counter to be so perfect.
Round 2:
mcregor somehow lost is composure as a boxer when trying to put pressure, like awkwardness and just uncomfortable. lol at the hammer fist like he did against paulie, didn't expect him to do that. mcgregor switching and landing some and suprisingly knows some combos. But mayweather just making one two shots. what is with mcgregor holding mayweather from behind does this a lot.
Conor: 10-9
i recall him doing that fancy switch stance stuff, real fast. very dumb imho, waste of energy and useless.
Round 3:
lol at the pressure and jabs but then going to the hammer fists lol. omg again. floyd with the occasional body shots. tiring mcgregor. but they seem to be grabbing and tangling a lot. mcregor somehow can't stop hammering. mcgregor has good jab and good reach. but mayweather continuing with his pot shots to body, head.
Conor 10 - 9
was disappointed with floyd's body attack .. would have loved to see him throw more hook style shots, not just straights. I don't think most of those straight shots did much damage.. hook shots countering under conor's shots would have been brutal.
Round 4:
Mcgregor tired. mcgregor going to the body and putting pressure nicely suprisingly then the hammer fists. mcgregor landing some and now mayweather starting to put the pressure now, landing and moving. mcgregor breathing through his mouth. damn the body shots from mayweather. light jabs from mcgregor but does nothing.
nice mayweather lean back and make opponent miss then come back and shoot.
Mayweather 10-9 (close)
Round 5:
lol at mcgregor working at angles but he seems to run from one side to other. tired and landing low power shots. mayweather fainted nicely to see how connor would react. mcregor tangling up a lot now. mayweather still looking fresh compared to mcgregor. lol at the push by mayweather then retaliation by the ref. His team are not giving good gameplan or anything.
Mayweather 10-9 (close)
Round 6:
connor no more pressure, don't know why floyd turning his back. but mayweather on the offense now and cos mcgregor is tired floyd not letting him think and now mayweather just killing mcgregor on the attack powerful right hand. mcregor tired and using jab and relying on counter as too tired to go on attack. wow looking at the slow motion mcgregor landed some jobs weak nevertheless but accurately even when mayweather ducking and weaving.
Mayweather 10-9
lmfao at floyd turning his back. ref literally yelled at him to stop turning.. such a good ref in this fight.
Round 7:
mcgregor light jabs here and there. tangling up again. mcgregor against tying him up. dam the pressure from mayweather walking mcgregor down hitting him right infront straight right all over the place.. mayweather just landing at will on the face and mcgregor don't know what to do. no more power from mcgregor. poor mcgregor looking tired and clueless lol.
Mayweather 10-9
Mayweather just eat mcgregors hits which does nothing and comes with a straight right of his own and knock mcgregors head back.
Round 8:
Mcrgegor ineffective and mayweather turns his back. paulie defends that it's mcrgegor turning. def mayweather turning his back and just staying there. some good jabs from mcgregor by mayweather hits power and accuracy. and mcgregor just too tired. mayweather is putting pressure on mcgregor who is too tired to think. that's what good about mayweather he is smart when putting pressure. upper cut followed by right hand and then just walking mcgregor down. what is with showtime saying its close, it's not close, mcgregor no pressure and any power in his jab and mayweather just forcing the pace and putting smart pressure.
Mayweather 10-9
Round 9:
damn mcgregor putting the pressureo on mayweather and lol when ref stops it mcgregor stil hitting mayweather. but mcgregor got something. mayweather now on the offense seeing a lot of hooks. damn the combos from mayweather and that sharp uppercut from mayweather. damn mcgregor very tired. conor legs no control. mayweather just giving it to mcgregor lol. no response so mcgregor has to hold. oh my mcgregor just full out of it. mayweather just finishing him.
Mayweather 10-9 possible even 10-8
lol mcgregor team saying his def tired so in round 10 just tie him up, nice advice lol.
lmfao!
Round 10:
mcgregor just trying to touch him with jabs and tie him up. omg mcrgegor just a standing hitting bag and just almost falls. mayweatherr just beating him up and just hitting him all over the place. good stoppage.
My Score: 87-83
Comments: It was a good fight, I enjoyed seeing mayweather put the pressure, mcgregor showed good boxing skills but not enough endurance to withstand it and lacks boxing smarts.
Post fight interview:
mcregor just crazy thinking to allow the ref to let him continue until he drops. he says it was just fatigue lol this is boxing my friend then he says that he is always like this fatigued and 'flowy' lol. This was the biggest cons against mcgregor's chances of winning was he hasn't done 12 hard rounds with 1 min rest. good gameplan from from mayweather to let mcgregor try and tire himself then mcgregor goes in the for the attack. I would have loved to see this type of offence with pacquiao but that would be mayweather's funeral. lol at jim gray's question: did he look tired to you.
I wonder what mayweather was looking at above.
Undercards: gervonta davis was better than expect as in his last fight he was just a lot nervous and didn't fight that good but now he was powerful even though the last knockout winning punch was to the back of the head. but I would like to see him in a tough fight.
But good fight, good attempt from mcgregor but his inexperience was the downside. But atleast he chose a good way to end his career making it exciting even though it was against an unexperience fighter, but better than berto, even though berto better than mcgregor that fight was boring. Def not returning to boxing, he would not last against any boxer.
great recap.
Conor trying to challenge the stoppage after the fight is just good politics. Look how many people believed him that he would be able to recover etc. He was completely done at that point. Wish the ref had let it go on and let Floyd knock him unconscious.. Shouldn't have saved him. He didn't look like he was quitting either, he was just wrecked but trying to hang out, so he'd have hung in there until Floyd turned his lights out.
