Soooo.... somehow we are led to believe that of all the people, Benett was the only person running from gunfire.... right? is this basically what we are being told?

I wanted Conor to come out and maul Floyd just to put on a show (he was going to lose no matter what)... but he tried to box. In the firs 20s when Floyd backed up against the ropes and let Conor punch you could see that Conor did not have the punching power to knock Floyd out... so at that point it was evident that…

I think you missed what I said. It is not that MMA guys should punch in the style of boxers but more that the level of expertise should be up to that of boxers. Conor is not a life long expert.. he decided to be an MMA fighter as an adult and because MMA is so immature he could. The lack of expertise in MMA is why a…

Mayweather is a 40 yo retired fighter. There are numerous boxers that would beat him at boxing now. He looked the worst he has ever been in that fight yet carried Conor and walked him down that fight soaking up 111 feather punches. The notion that MMA guys “can take rounds” is just silly... Floyd gave him rounds as…

I think the landed punches have no context as aswell. each of pacmans punches is worth like 7 of McGregors. Conor’s punches were so weak that tiny Floyd could walk him down and soak them up... he got hit 111 times, yet looked like he had just come back from a spa at the end of the fight...

LMFAO... I love how your small mind is getting owned by everyone in this thread. Try and think a little before you post ... SMH!

True... but then again MMA does have rules too and in a lot of matches that end in a decision the same could be said about who would win in a real confrontation.

How is a fight where one boxer can only arm punch, entertaining?

Its not about fair... it is about a group of people seeing a guy have some success at punching in MMA trying to convince the world that that must necessarily mean he can box. It is obvious that the fighter with fewer holes in his game wins in a “fair” fight... but that is not what this is about.

Yes true... but at the very least MMA guys can learn to punch properly and avoid punches properly. This so called amazing puncher has terrible technique and yet has success in MMA because the guys he fights are even worse at dealing with punches than he is at throwing terrible ones!

I think you are mistakingly suggesting that because something happened; that necessarily means that something else couldn’t have happend. You can’t possibly think that Floyd could not stop a guy who cannot throw proper punches.
Conor’s punches pose almost no threat at all. Had Floyd decided to go in with intent there…

EXACTLY. Plain and simple ... Carried him

Don’t be fooled. Floyd has no debt issues. He wasn’t goaded into anything. Someone put the potential to make $350mm on the table with what was evidently zero risk and he took it. All he had to do was pretend that Conor was a worthy opponent and allow Conor to talk shit. Easy Work...

“hold his own”???... how are so many people that are so into watching combat sports unable to understand the context of the first few rounds. Conor did not hold his own... had Mayweather not decided to do nothing in the first few rounds, McGregor would have been in serious trouble for the start.
Surely people…

Did you find that ... watching Floyd miss punches showed that Conors shit movement might actually helped him. Yes, Floyd was rusty but he was also throwing punches in anticipation of where he thought Conor’s head would move to. This has to do with months of sparring with people that move their head and your targeting…

Conor does NOT have a strong punch. The opening 30 seconds told Floyd that he didnt have to worry about Conor’s arm punches... they are terrible... no weight behind them. It worked on aldo because aldo ran chin first into a punch... but Floyd new he could stand in those punches and still come out looking like he has…

surely its hard for people that are non fans of anything cant appreciate why the people doing whatever make any money.

omg... you arsehole.. you made me laugh out loud for real! hahahahaha!

no one claims that there is no racism in europe... its just that like a lot of stuff america just does it MUCH bigger and MUCH ‘better’!

How is this debatable? Surely the only people that can hit a homer are people that play baseball? and any body that is sufficiently tall enough or can jump high enough can dunk...
