    Men against boys including there. McGregor was struggling after 2 rounds. Mayweather didn't start hitting properly until round 6

    Floyd threw lots of hard shots in the early rounds but Conor avoided them easily.

    Lot of people saying now that Floyd didn't try early on and that's absolute nonsense.

    Most of the time Floyd wasn't turning his back, McGregor was pivoting around him.

    bull, floyed turned his back 2-3 times in every round when conor was getting good hands on him

    Watched it on a Showtime stream. The American commentators were a lot more complimentary to McGregor than the Brits seem to have been and had it a lot closer than the official scorecard (as did I).

    Paulie called it right down the middle too.

    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.

    Mayweather completely controlled the fight.
    Conor's stamina is always an issue and he did not know how to throw and punch that hurt or tie Mayweather up when he needed a rest.

    Mayweather's still is usally defensive but he knew if he just took it handy for the first couple McGregor would tire.
    Conor is only a 20 minute man man max if he is lucky.

    Mayweather was not even afraid to attack McGregor then because he knew conor could not hurt him.

    I know there is little cogent debate among a lot of MMA fans on the internet

    But your comment is silly...may the farce be with you :D

    I am going to sleep!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Floyd put Conor on queer street. Talk about being saved by the ref. Conor got lit up so bad his Dublin accent went into overdrive.

    McGregor's cardio is so poor, he was done half way through the 3rd and I'd believe Mayweather when he says that they knew that before the fight and let him burn himself out. TBF to McGregor he landed a good uppercut in the 1st but didn't land anything else.

    Good stoppage by the ref but how good is McGregor's chin! He was getting caught clean in the last 2 or 3 rounds and aside from being gassed he took them well.

    I think this experience will stand to McGregor when he returns to the UFC and his standup will be way ahead of anyone on the roster

    No I didn't. I Said Floyd would win easily. I actually thought he'd win inside 4, I got that wrong in fairness.

    What? No... I was saying, no matter the result.. wonder literally mentioned every possible outcome.. to cover himself basically.

    Thanks Jesus this fight is over.

    I enjoyed the run up in parts, but no more garbage freak shows please

    Can we all agree. MMA. Boxing. Neutral. All fans united.

    Fair play to Conor. 10 rounds against one of the best boxers of all time in a different sport.

    In fairness I think Mayweather only dragged it out to try make it a spectacle,could have finished it alot earlier

    Official scorecards were a joke!

    But i don't give a fcuk, Conor just went 10 rounds with arguably TGE and for most of it didn't look out of his dept.

    The fans win on this fight fcukin loved every bit of that fight.

    He didn't try early on. Watch it back if you need to. It was a farce.

    Congrats to Conor though, glad I paid the €25 as he's a legend

    Thought it was a bit of a disappointment. Was expecting a different type of fight. Ah well.

    The fans were well and truly duped by both fighters. It was never a contest and was over after 2 rounds.

    Madness, maybe watch the fight back later. Flyod barely broke a sweat. Done his usual in the first couple of rounds as was predicted and then controlled the fight.

    No he didn't, his lack of cardio was very poor but when he was fresh he looked quite good. He needs to address the cardio as this will be where fighter try to beat him now in UFC or boxing

    Yes.

    I'm as big a Conor fan as anyone but didn't want this fight in the first place. It was a freak show fight.

    Every punch Conor threw was all arm. Majority of his punches were rolled by Floyd. Floyd had him scouted fully in 2 rounds. His cardio was beyond poor.

    It wasn't competitive - people can try and spin it any way they want but it just wasn't.
