Game Thread Mayweather vs McGregor fight thread!

[Jade Falcon]

Well, so I lost the stream at the beginning of the first round, then my wireless card decided it didn't want to work anymore (FUCKING WINDOWS 10!), so I didn't actually see much of this fight until round 7.

Fuck it all.

And fuck Mayweather.

 

[Minstrel]

No standing 8-count in this fight.

It's been removed by US Boxing Commissions since 1998. Only the mandatory 8 count is still around and requires a knockdown to invoke.

 

[speeds]

Need to give credit to Floyd for not sitting on the lead and going for the finish.

 

[Minstrel]

McGregor got KO'd?

TKO.

 

[Sinobas]

Conor should go back to MMA. It was cool that he tried this, and we got to see how he'd fair in a straight up boxing match, but he's already fought Floyd, so anything else would be a step down

 

[Sinobas]

Floyd sat back the first couple of rounds and Conor got tired out

 

[Minstrel]

McGregor's a tough guy but not a boxer. It's not a big surprise that he stood no chance in this. Just like Mayweather would stand no chance in the Octagon against McGregor.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

McGregor did WAAAAAAAY better than the experts thought he would.

No shame in losing.

Dude got paid lol and everyone on the damn planet knows Conor would absolutely destroy Floyd if this wasn't such a limited fight.

I kinda hope Floyd takes Conor under his belt and helps train his boxing aspect for his fights in the UFC.

Nope, like someone from another sport playing MJ one on one and losing by a few hoops

People are really going crazy with the hot takes. Mcgregor is great in MMA but he isn't even the best in MMA, he is just SUPER popular. He just isn't a boxer but did better than expected. Way better actually. Floyd is the best boxer in the world, greatest defensive boxer of all time, what did they expect ya know?

That's what he ALWAYS does. Runs away until the last minute.

I find it hard to believe that 50 world-class fighters have failed to figure this out. It's hard to process that.

Duh. But he actually looked ok and proved a lot of the announcers wrong.

If Floyd is such a great fighter he should step into a UFA octagon though.

Conor is definitely the best in MMA in HIS weight classes. No one comes close to him at 145/155

The first couple rounds, floyd just sat back and covered up. Connor landed a few good punches. But you could see Conor tiring out while Floyd didn't look tired at all.

 

[Minstrel]

It's easy to say "Duh" now, but a lot of McGregor fans insisted he had a shot and that claiming he had zero chance was "hating."

Yeah well he isn't going back down to 145, that weight cut is too brutal for him. I would like to see a Diaz/Mcgregor 3 since they are 1-1

[Sinobas]

The fight would only last as long as Conor wanted it to.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It's easier to call "he won't land a shot on Floyd" by boxing experts "hating" though

 

[Sinobas]

I wonder if Conor's boxing skills will help him at all in the MMA? He was one of the best strikers before...

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Zero chance was ridiculous. I think mostly everyone thought mayweather would win, but its combat sports. There always is a punchers chances.

The people saying there was zero chance are just as idiotic as the people saying conor would win.

Thanks. I saw Floyd sitting there just chilling on his stool. I was like "fucker doesn't even break a sweat".

If Floyd was 3o, if I was McGregor, I'd challenge him to get inside the Octagon. I highly doubt he'd do it though.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I wanna see the Leprechaun/Cholo 3 too but only at 155, Diaz is naturally bigger than McG so 170 had to be a bitch.

Nope, he had no chance. If Mayweather were an aggressive boxer, the "one random lucky punch" thing is plausible. Against arguably the greatest defensive boxer ever? No, a knockout was simply never plausible.

And as for "combat sports"--are you willing to say Mayweather would have a puncher's chance against McGregor in a UFC match?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Why?

Ferguson vs. Conor is a way better fight.

 

[speeds]

If Floyd is such a great fighter he should step into a UFA octagon though.

What would him getting choked out in 20-seconds prove?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Nope, he had no chance. If Mayweather were an aggressive boxer, the "one random lucky punch" thing is plausible. Against arguably the greatest defensive boxer ever? No, a knockout was simply never plausible.

Sure. I would give him a 1% chance to catch conor before he got taken down.

Its combat sports. Anything can happen.

Have you heard of jose aldo?

I bet you people said riddick bowe had zero chance against tyson too.
