Mayweather didn't throw punches in the first couple of rounds but what he did throw landed.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » When he was gassed, he was schooled, not before. Did you even watch the fight ffs?? McGregor slipped lots of shots Mayweather threw in the first rounds and countered a few also. It's laughable to say all his shots in those rounds landed. He threw 28 punches and landed 12 of them.

Conor was trying to intinidate and look tough while floyds demenour was of complete calmness and peace he was not in the least concerned about mcgregor. It was so telling. He had no respect atall for conor or his so called power. And he was right. First we had mctapper nowwe have mchugger.mcgregor had a guy 20ilbs lighter than him andhe had to keep trying to hug himto stop him punching him. He is used to fighting midgets in the ufc who are ideal for him but whenhe was in a real fight last night he was looking to hug.

mdwexford wrote: » Maybe in bjj, I'm not too up on the ins and outs of their competitions. In an mma fight though some people literally will rather go unconscious or get their arm broken than give in and tap. Which is beyond stupid imo. Then you have the odd scumbag who holds onto a submission for a few extra seconds after the opponent has tapped.

section4 wrote: » Yes after you have made some effort to get out of it. He tapped very very quickly. Just like he dropped to the ground very very quickly after getting hit a few ****s on the chin. He critisied others for panicing after getting hit and he does the same.thing. Why was he running from a guy 20lbs lighter than him because he was not able to.exchange punches with him. What does that tell you about his power. I dont know.much about martial.arts only started shukokai karate in 75 and boxing in 76. So only about 40 years exp.

Maravilla33 wrote: » Did anyone at any stage while McGregor was winning the first few rounds actually think, sh1t he has a chance here? I doubt it. Looked painfully obvious to me that Mayweather wasn't doing a lot and think it's fanciful to think it was because McGregor didn't let him. He literally threw nothing. The jab to the body was his only real offence.
