Perhaps, but I also think that if Mayweather would have fought like he used to, more "clinical" and not this offensive (took a lot more risks than usual), it would have looked different. It's kind of obvious he had to put up a show, boxing with a different approach to please the audience.

But strong performance of Conor nonetheless, even if he needs to improve his cardio (also for the sake of MMA)

nope.

lol how can some of you have Conor winning on the cards are you blind? Conor won 3 rounds tops.

Also it was a perfectly fine stoppage, Connor was stumbling guard down eating hard punches he was going down, he had nothing left in the tank and he didnt show any tools to threaten Mayweather, good stoppage

That being said he did connect with floyd a couple of times and did pretty good job, but as usual he has shit cardio

Noone s saying he s winning on the cards, I'm saying he won first 3 rounds pretty clearly, while 2 out of 3 judges only gave him 1 round which is hilarious.

Actually, Baal is right, i said i think Conor was up

I gave Conor R1 R2 R3 R6 R8.
R4 was close

But i will probably rewatch the fight, maybe i'm biased

I really thought all his drago training and elevation cycling did wonders for his 8 minute gas tank, clearly it did nothing. This would've been a way better fight if he has like 30% more cardio which is an insane stretch for a 2month camp but jeezus address that flaw already. I'm already concerned his next opponent will focus more on defense and making him work hard in rounds 1 and 2 then just go HAM starting round 3 to 5. The shit talking also lost a lot of it's power once he says something and delivers nothing of what he said in the actual fight. Nate and FLoyd did it right, just close their ears and say fuck you, market the shit out of this fight alone.

I agree and its crazy to me that he hasnt adressed the problem and I also think its more obvious than ever that the path to beat him is through exhaustion

he's been training his whole life for 3 round fights, all his body and muscles are built to last 3x5 minute rounds
its not some 3 months training that will suddenly change this

if nate diaz fought mcgregor in the boxing ring, who would win?

Some people claim he gassed partly because of Floyd's body shots. A bit like Mendes gassed super fast vs Conor.

Wasn't just body shots or Conor's usual cardio problems. Really not something you could have expected him to fully smooth over even within a year vs such a gifted defensive fighter who'll make you miss or hit glove. Boxing cardio is just different. Especially with that much of an experience gap. Actually thought Conor's cardio help up better than I thought it would considering he gassed in round 2 for a 2nd time vs Nate Diaz. In MMA, you can take little breathers by throwing out low range controlling kicks, hold against fence, or lay after takedown. In boxing, you either get good at using your defensive guard off the ropes or clinching so the ref takes time to break you which obviously doesn't happen in MMA


Pauli Malignaggi : "Now having said that, the mental pressure Floyd was applying, Conor doesn’t have much experience in the ring so it’s going to fatigue him a little bit faster because he sees this guy constantly walking him down.

“Even if Conor was being effective, the constant walking him down is going to cause fatigue physically, but also mentally. ‘I can’t get this guy out of my face.’


John Danaher : "However, there is a dramatic difference in energy expenditure on the part of the MMA athlete versus the more efficient boxer."

Conor himself : "He’s not that fast, he’s not that powerful, but boy is he composed in there. So he was making me throw and he was patient with his shots


The fact that Conor is so used to hurting people when he lands but this small guy just kept walking him down behind a guard round after round after round 3...and like Conor said...made him throw shots that he didn't want to throw...eventually mentally/physically broke him

nah he gassed the same way vs nate too

would watch. will the malignaggi win vs conar?

i wish he doesn't go back to MMA. after mailiggani i want to see him fight vs pacquaio and nate diaz in boxing.

Conar just gasses, just saw a video that Conor's guys says he doesn't even run lmao. I hope it's not because of that ACL tear he had, he's going to need to put in some serious cardio work to keep those belts with all the cardio monsters waiting on him. I'd like to see Paulie fight him or Nate, much more Paulie, just to watch boxing purists sweat.

if he can't run he can swim and cycle. easier on the knees.

I guess I was watching something else I thought grandpa Mayweather was thoroughly in control and easily stopped an athlete who just can't box

really don't think he would have done better if only his cardio was better...

GGG vs canelo is the real fight for me I really think and hope it will deliver

Im trying to bet the ggg fight, taking ggg side.

Not near vegas atm. Wondering if anyone can place bets for me on pinnacle or is interested in taking canelo side vig free. Not highstakes betting like 500-600.

Has anyone been keeping up with how line has been moving ?
