Missing my point though. McGregor was competitive for 2 rounds and then was quite simply exerted. I certainly expected a lot more from him than that.

Any boxer stepping into the octagon would struggle given how tougher it is technically and how broader the skillsets are.


Did you really? A man who who isn't a boxer taking on a boxing great?

Seriously?

As another member posted Mayweather would have no chance against McGregor in UFC, what on earth made anyone think McGregor had any chance against Mayweather in boxing?

Glad the WWE like circus is over so can now concentrate on the exciting actual fights to come.

Disapointing though that it sounds like a lot of people found it entertaining. Was hoping it would be a car crash to enable something similar never occurring in the future

Did I think he could condition himself where he could perform for closer to 12 rounds than 2? I most certainly did.

Mayweather allowed him to be competitive for the first two minutes I appreciate that. He quite simply sat back. We have never seen Mayweather come out of his shell so early and take the risks he did and that was because McGregor had lost his 'punchers chance' after blowing out after 360 seconds.

That's what I was so disappointed with.

The problem being his "punchers chance" was a myth.

Have not even seen the 'Fight' or the highlights but was anyone surprised by the outcome?. Mayweather took his time and let McGregor punch himself out.
Made a mockery of Boxing in my opinion but Mayweather and McGregor won't be to worried about criticism when their Paycheck's hit the mat.

It was an exhibition fight which Floyd was always going to orchestrate. A fine line between taking it too easy and not spoiling it for the fans by just destroying him in the first few rounds... Mayweather wasn't remotely troubled and 'allowed' McGregor to win the first 2 rounds. Then boxed well within himself before putting it to bed once the fans had their money's worth.

McGregor's punching ability was always an unknown anyway given the difference in the 'gloves' worn in boxing and MMA.

Mayweather has always been about taking his time and waiting for the openings...not the type to wade in and destroy someone.

There are lads up and down the country in boxing gyms with big right hands.


He was trying to throw his at arguably the greatest defensive boxer of all time. He had no chance of landing a big bomb. Zero. The fight was sold on the myth McGregor might had been able to catch Mayweather with a big shot when in reality he would only get as close to Mayweathers chin as he was allowed to.

Did you not see his albeit very awkward uppercut connect? He got through with a shot that most don't. The punchers chance was there, it wasn't taken.

McGregor connecting with anything at only confirmed that Mayweather really is over the hill and wouldn't last too long with any of the current champions or decent contenders, but I'm not critising him, he's played the game to perfection all through his career but time has caught up.
Apparently McG caught Mayweather with more punches than Pacquiao did. Surely that proves that it's time to pack up as well as showing Mayweather had no respect for the punching of McGregor.

In fairness most of the shots that connected rounds 4 onwards my granddad would have walked through.

They weren't knock out punches 100%, I totally agree with you but the power of the punch has nothing to do with this stat. The facts are mcgregor connected no matter how hard more then most boxers have fighting mayweather. Most boxers couldn't touch him never mind hit him with a soft punch. Think your missing the point of the stat.

Ricky Hatton only hit mayweather 66 times to mcgregors 111. Cotto ,Mosley , Marquez and Ortiz all come way below mcgregor. Even canelo only contected  6 more times.

Mcgregor deserves a lot of credit for his performance and let's face it floyd would never enter mcgregors world in mma

Age, tactics all played their part. Mayweather opened up earlier than ever. Flip the coin He threw 59 jabs v McGregor v compared to 267 v Pacqauio. He threw 330 v Canelo. You're going to get hit when you open up.

Surely McGregor connected as many times as he did for two reasons, Mayweathers faded reflexes and a lack of respect for his opponents ability.
He's a good jack of all trades but would he be able to beat another specialist like a wrestling champ or Jujitsu champ?

All about pride and those soccer kicks for me  :D

Back onto mayweather mcgrego. They reckon it's done 6.5 million buys  :o that's ridiculous mayweather Pacquiao did 5.5 million. Don't think there will be a fight that tops it for a long long time. Maybe not ever
