Also, Conor apologizing to him and clearly being devastated should convince all the cynics that he wasn't taking the fight *just* for the money. He clearly believed he was going to win and was heartbroken at losing the fight.

I still don't believe that Conor really knew he would win. Nor did I think his team thought it. Too much of a stretch to believe they all thought they could beat an ATG boxer in a boxing match. For me the real giveaway was their OTT declarations of this believed victory. They were speaking like Floyd was some 6 year old kid that was in for a hiding. Their fight predictions were simply far too bonkers for them to be taken seriously. To add, Conor certainly fought like he wanted to win, but that's a separate discussion.

I'd be more inclined to say that Conor was the one who endured! and that Floyd won because of his better stamina. Or how about Floyd won because he was a harder puncher! Now that's hard for Conor to admit! McGregor referred to this as "half a fight" and now he's on a 2 month medical suspension! It'd be no harm if the ref let it go on a little longer so that Conor would have been knocked down, with his ego taking a right good bruising. He mightn't be as quick to talk any re-match nonsense then!

Fight was stopped because he couldn't defend himself, his arms were dead, gassed out. Medical suspensions aren't worth the paper they're written on. Hed fight next week if he wanted to.

I know he shot for a takedown which ultimately was his downfall but I can't remember him being put on his arse. He can take some punishment whilst still standing.

walshb wrote: » You speaking about official score cards? I thought he won the first 3. Rds 4 and 5 were competitive and rd 8 he could have gotten. Rds 1-5 for me could be 5-0, 4-1, 3-2, 2-3 Conor... He deserved rds 1 and 2 and 3 as much as Floyd deserved rds 4 and 5.

But had to resort to letting conor wear himself out before he could land significant boxing shots? Floyd is the tactical genius but conor is the better boxer for landing shots when both are full of energy:)
