McGregor/ Mayweather Aug 26!

Can't even lie, I'll probably watch the fight. This is a win-win for McGregor. Floyd is a clown; it would be so awesome if he got knocked out

29 minutes!
I'll be looking for updates online as there is no way in hell I'd spend 100 bucks on the PPV (and dont want to deal with the crowds at BWW etc)

Hope Mayweather goes out on bottom (of the ring lol)
 
We'll see.
Mayweather is very experienced, but you never know what'll happen.

I just dont like the guy.
 
Oh junk! Did you see that hit?!?





Just kidding, I am not even even watching it.
 
Delayed due to PPV outages, according to the headline scrolling on ESPN.
 
McGregor took the first and second on points 10-9

Damn, McGregor just took the third 10-9

Now Mayweather seems to be waking up ... he's landing more punches

Mayweather takes the fourth 10-9

Mayweather takes the fifth 10-9 ... and after the end of the round shoves McGregor

... McGregor seems to be slowing a little while Mayweather starts sticking the body with rights

Mayweather takes the sixth 10-9

Couple of clinches ... Mayweather takes a cheap shot on the break ... McGregor stays cool though

Round 7 to Mayweather ... he isn't even breathing hard but McGregor isn't drained like I thought he'd be at this point ... but I think Mayweather has settled into it and he'll walk him the rest of the rounds unless McGregor starts taking it hard to him ...

McGregor takes the eight but he looks a little winded ...

Mayweather just tagged McGregor hard ... bell and McGregor still standing but visibly rocked Mayweather takes the 9th 10-9

Mayweather tagged him and McGregor clinching ... looks like this is gonna be it

Done ... ref stops the fight Mayweather with the TKO win ...

I thought it was a good fight. Mac looked very good early, but I wondered in round two how all that constant pawing with his right was going to last. He did a good job hitting Money through the first 5 rounds or so. But by the end of the sixth, having not even staggered Mayweather, I knew it prolly wasn't going to happen for Mac. Rounds 8 & 9, Mac had some juice in the first minute of each round, but seemed out of gas in the latter half of each.

I thought Mac was lucky to make it through Rd 9, and that if he didn't connect hard and early in Rd 10, it'd surprise me if he could make 12.
 
It was really ironic that Rocky 4 was on at the same time. Great example of the same strategy Floyd used. He let the big power puncher throw punches till he was tired then went in and out boxed him when he couldn't defend himself

I'm not a boxing fan, although I do enjoy MMA. I have never paid for a PPV fight before, but I did last night and have absolutely no regrets in doing so. For the first time since Christmas my entire family, as well as some extended family, was all in one room enjoying each other's company and having a great time. I would have rather seen Conner win, I like MMA, but Floyd was extremely strategic throughout the fight just as he has been his entire career. He controlled the fight to play to his strengths. He was the better boxer without a doubt. Despite all of that, Fight Night at the Pressley House was a huge success and worth every penny of the $100 that it cost!

Come to the octagon Floyd, it won't take long ;)

A buddy of mine watched it after I said something about not fnding it on the firestick. He found the periscope thing and decided to sit up to watch it all. His comment was it wasn't much of a fight and he was glad he didn't pay to see it.

:confused:
 
I thought the ref called it too soon. Mac took a few good hits, but he wasn't out and damn sure wasn't giving uo. I heard that if Mac had won, Vegas would be broke. I see a rematch in the future, I just hope it's in the octagon. Flotd wouldn't survive a round.
 
I thought it was entertaining.

Floyd impressed me by standing right in front of Conor and banging and walking forward the whole time. Didn't dance around the outside at all and just went straight at him. I thought that was pretty cool because I think he could have easily just stayed at range and picked him apart like he has done many times.

Conor gassed a bit, and I imagine the weight cut wasn't easy. He was much bigger. Although his jab wore him out, it was money for the lower rounds. I think he kinda sometimes steps into it and can deliver really good power with it, but you can see how Floyd doesn't do that and it just looks like Conors style takes a lot more energy. That right hand started getting tired and without a good job Floyd's gonna eat you up quickly. It was a fun fight, and I think Conor woke him up good a couple times!

I think both men handled themselves well. Still a Conor fan, but enjoyed watching Floyd go to work, and I have to admit I am a little relieved for boxing. I think it would have been curtains for boxing had Conor ko'd Floyd, even though I would have celebrated, lol.

I hope the huge payday doesn't keep Mac out of the octagon though.

Are you kidding? Mac wasn't even able to defend himself near the end. Ref made the right call.

As for the fight, Mac had no chance. It went just as everyone in the fight game predicted - Mac comes out aggressive, Floyd bides his time and is willing to concede a couple of early rounds while he figures out Mac's range and timing, and then he goes to work. The only thing I was surprised by was how little power Mac was getting on his punches. Floyd appeared pretty much unaffected. I think he was hurt even less than against Pacquiao (and he wasn't really ever hurt there).

As for a rematch, why on earth would anyone want to watch that? Same result, except Floyd goes to work even earlier. Sheesh. I figured people would learn their lesson after paying a ridiculous price for this joke of a fight.

And while I know MMA fans would jizz in their pants at the prospect of Mac getting Floyd in the octagon, that's never going to happen. Floyd didn't get to 50-0 and incredibly wealthy by being an idiot.

Heh. I can't believe that people are talking positively about this farce. Given the response, don't be surprised if Dana White next pits Demetrious Johnson against Tonya Harding in figure skating and charges $120 for the PPV.

If you tell your lover that you enjoyed the buttsex, don't be surprised when you find yourself getting bent over again.

I beg to differ. White folks been getting played for a century now chasing the chance at the "Great White Hope".

It's a proven revenue generator and it never gets old yet the outcome is so often the same. I see no reason it won't generate the same money again. Look at all the sympathizers now already talking bout how good Mac fought and how he deserves so much credit for making it 10 rounds.
Everyone I've talked to that says that has no frigging clue about what boxing is or how it's different than fighting.

And too be clear, my post has nothing to do with and perceived or misperceived superiority or false superiority. It's nothing more than blunt reality of the boxing promotion that has taken place over the last century and still works today.

You might be right - I cannot believe all the positive talk after this 'fight'/farce. How anyone paid $100 for the PPV and felt like they got anything close to their money's worth is beyond me. The only person sucking Mac's penor harder than the played public was Mac himself - talking about how he was recovering. Dude hadn't thrown a punch in a long time in that round, and he was not making it out of that round on his two feet if the ref hadn't stopped it. Floyd beat the **** out of him. And that was coming back from a 2yr layoff. Anyone who would pay to watch a rematch should just bend over and let Dana White have at it with no vaseline.

Speaking of, listening to the post-fight fan reaction reminds me of women who try to convince themselves that what just happened to them wasn't rape.

Just as Floyd isn't going to out-MMA an MMA fighter, it is pure fantasy to expect an MMA fighter is going to outbox a world champion boxer, nevermind one of the greatest boxers of all time.

Allow me to quote myself from a couple of months before this joke of a fight.

Pure fantasy.

Pacquiao, an experienced, accomplished and aggressive BOXER could barely touch Mayweather. McGregor's left hook won't touch anything but air.

Unless he's willing to throw elbows, knees and bite off one of Floyd's ears, his chances are slim to none.

Who has done that to him? Even Pacquiao, a very aggressive and very accomplished boxer couldn't hurt Mayweather. Mac is going to be totally out of his element, and he's going to box Mayweather into a corner? It is to laugh.

But hey, hope springs eternal, and that's what the promoters, Mayweather, McGregor, Showtime and everyone else who is going to make a killing on this farce are banking on. So shell out and let them cash in on your hope.

You called it!

Was having this discussion with another guy earlier and telling him how crazy he sounded thinking a Mac even had a chance or that the outcome was even close. I told him he may not be an athlete but he needs to respect that in any activity whether it be sports or not there is no comparison between those considered best in the world vs those that are considered pretty good. Any I'll say that applies to most anything. Told him he couldn't score 2pts let alone 6pts or 30pts if he was given a whole 4 periods on the court with a solid NBA team. Told him he wouldn't even be able to get a hit if allowed the opportunity to stand at the plate before a world class MLB pitcher. Couldn't come close to the shoot times of world class shooters, ete. Same with Golf, Tennis, or even non athletic things like computers,chess, etc. The best in the world at anything are just that....the best at a specific task out of a world of billions of people. Let that sink in

Unless people high on hope are willing to pay you millions to do it. Then you'll do it with a smile on your face and then rest your beaten self on pillows stuffed with benjamins.

As @NKD mentioned earlier, I just hope that all this money doesn't quench Mac's thirst and ruin his appetite for MMA, the sport in which he is among the elite.

Just about everybody in the fight game said the exact same thing. MMA and boxing. But they all said anybody can get lucky and land a shot. That's what "punchers chance" means.

Not like you were some kind of dissenting voice! Your opinion is/was shared by just about everybody, except the Mac nuthugger fans.
