Mayweather vs McGregor - Event Thread MOD WARNING POST 1- DO NOT IGNORE!!

Axwell

This is the main event thread for the fight between Mayweather & McGregor.

All other discussion remains in the McGregor thread

**THREAD RULES **

The thread is for discussing the weight ins and the event itself.

1. It is not for dropping in to give your opinion on Conor McGregor or Floyd Mayweather and why you hate them or want to see them get knocked out. It is not for discussing how how if this was an MMA fight McGregor would destory him or who wins in a street fight, or how the fight is a farce or any of that other nonsense. There has been enough of that in the McGregor thread, if you want to discuss that sort of thing take it there. Basically if you arent discussing the actual event or the weigh ins then take it elsewhere.

2. ANY nonsense in here and it is a ban, there are no warnings..those have been given in the other thread and this is there is a strict no nonsense policy in this thread.

Any trolling, goading other posters, back and forth tit for tat, personal abuse, fighter bashing or anything else against the charter and you are banned - plain and simple for a minimum of 3 days.

3. If someone posts something they shouldnt just report it an move on, do not engage and get into nonsense back and forth or you will be banned also.

4. Your only reason to be on this thread is if you are here to enjoy the fight no matter which fighter you want to see win. This is a big event with plenty of interest and people want to sit back and enjoy it, including myself. If you are here to troll, get a reaction or causing hassle then you will be leaving as quickly as you arrive.

I don't care if its your first post or your 1000th you have been warned, if you chose to ignore it you only have yourself to blame.

5. If you receive a ban and decide to send a pm complaining it will not be even looked at till at least Monday after the fight so you have been warned.

6. Do not ask about illegal streams - its that simple, no discussion. It is against boards policy and you will get a ban. That applies to asking about them, posting about them or looking for people to pm them. No discussion on them, end of.

Took Mayweather 10 rounds to figure a guy out who doesn't even box. Referee stepped in way to early also trying to protect the boxing brand. Never called Mayweather out once despite three elbows. It's no wonder UFC is gaining popularity and boxing is losing it.

Right decision. A knockout was inevitable

Fair play Conor, won rounds against the best ever, on his debut. Fair play!

He wasn't and isn't- the best ever

Wanderer78

as expected, fair play to him though

johnpatrick81

Bit of a farce really

More so on floyd's part

Conor did well to get his pay cheque but Floyd could have ended that in round one if he wanted lads. Let's not fool ourselves

Corholio

Mayweather had him from around 5. Mayweather isn't even close to an aggressive boxer. 'Losing' the early rounds isn't what it sounds like, it wasn't Conor dominating him.

It only went 10 rounds because Floyd let it go there...disappointing, got pulled into the hype thinking McGregor would better. Nothing after round 2.

He was a punch or two away from possible brain injury. He'll feel that more than any MMA bout in terms of concussion etc

Fair flat to him though, lasted longer than Hatton

It was stopped because one 'boxer' had no energy left.

Floyd Mayweather earns just his 2nd stoppage victory in 11 fights since 2007.

Thought he was grand. He let a bit of work go in the clinch, Floyd was even complaining at one stage. The stoppage was bang on though. McGregor was done and his toughness was keeping him standing. Could have been badly hurt if it kept going.

This. This all night long.

It was never a contest, I don't think McGregor can take any credit from this but it was a preposterous fight in the first place.

What he can take is a big wad of cash!

Conor delusional now...

Conors accent is total Dublin tonight hahha

McGregor went 10 rounds with the best boxer ever (arguably) in his first boxing fight.

I love how those saying he had no chance and would be put away quickly are now saying the only reason it went 10 is because Mayweather wanted it to.

Good lads. :pac:

Everyone says it's an early stoppage.

Conor is just counting his money. He knew going in that was the result.

"If anyone wants a knock, give me a shout."

Fair play Conor.

But the ref has a job too!

backspin.

True, optics would have been bad with photo of McGregor on his back. Fight was over. Glad it was stopped as it was.

That will be McGregors last boxing match. It's back to UFC now.

Mayweather had him figured out within 6 minutes. He saw every possible punch Conor could throw and from then on it was done.

Who is everyone??? The ref had to stop it tbf

Too Tough To Die

Smacked the accent back into him.

Corholio

Early stoppage? By about 10 or 20 seconds I'd say, he was completely out on his feet. The sport isn't 'first person to get knocked out'

[Deleted User]

Recompose myself.... Jesus.... chap would have been paralysed from ears up had ref not stopped it.

Everyone who gets stopped. Sorry for not being clear there
The ref saved him.

EagererBeaver

McGregor fronting a bit there saying he wasn't hurt. He was out of it right after it was stopped and there was no need to take any more shots, the fight was over.

He said himself he couldn't. He said he needed to be cautious and figure him out.

If Floyd came out to knock Conor out the winner could have been different

snowflaker

SRL agrees it wasn't an early stoppage.

No one in their right mind thinks he needed to take any more punishment

JaMarcusHustle

Judges had it 89-82.

Interestingly enough, 2 of them gave Floyd 2 of the first 3 rounds.

Conor landed 111 punches. The over/under was 29.5.
