People saying Conor looked good? Looked like Mayweather carried him just like I predicted. If "good" is not getting KTFO then yeah I guess he did "good."

What a joke.

When someone is fighting one of the greatest boxers ever and has never fought a professional boxing fight, then making it out of the first couple of rounds is absolutely 'good'.

Conor was boxing the right guy tonight, as Floyd's natural style allowed Conor to survive longer than he might have vs more aggressive guys. But he survived to round 10, and that's absolutely a victory for him. He also never ran, ducked or hid, which is important.

I mean... if it was an MMA fight it wouldn't even be a contest. But you can't expect someone who's never boxed before to go in and fight the best.

You like me, you really really like me!
Conor was doing well until he gassed. His gas tank has always been suspect though. Nate gonna whoop that ass in the third fight.
 
I can't say I'm surprised by the outcome of that fight.

Connor actually did a pretty damn good job, all things considered. I am genuinely impressed by his performance. But like I said to a bunch of friends today, if Connor can't knock out Mayweather by the end of the 5th round, the fight is gonna go to Mayweather simply because of endurance. Connor just couldn't defend himself and Mayweather still looked like he could do another whole fight.

I didn't really care who won that fight. No betting for me, but damn do I feel bad for those sorry folks who put so much money on Connor... but guys, be smart. A couple hundred I can understand, maybe, in a perfect world. But those thousands and thousands? That is some stupid shit and I can't feel bad for you.

Not a bad fight.
 
Guys. I decided to say fuck it and put $100k on Conor.

You can't honestly say you expected McGregor to go 9 rounds... I'd argue that's pretty damn good for a first time boxer fighting arguably the best lb for lb boxer there is.

Conor seriously. F... You.


What a joke.

Couldn't even box without being a clown.

He's fighting a legendary boxer in his familiar environment. He did well for the first 2-3 rounds.

All you can expect.

Mayweather just waited for him to get gassed. Such an obvious strategy and he destroyed him with it. Yes, Conor looked great in the first 3 but that was because Mayweather wasn't doing anything.

Yeah thats what I was calling all night. I was saying rd 8 or 9 and was surprised he made it to 10 haha
 
Mayweather didnt "run" this fight. He stood toe to toe and traded bombs. Connor showed alot of heart.
Im glad the ref stopped the fight, he may have saved Connor from brain damage 25 years down the road.
