People need to realize:
Connor hitting punches into Floyd's gloves don't count
Connor tapping Floyd basically doesn't count
So Connor throws 50 punches, 40 of them hit Floyd's gloves are all ignored by the judges. Then 9 of them are love taps and 1 clean punch.
Floyd throws 10 punches - lands 4-5 power punches
Floyd wins the round.
That's how boxing is scored.

Exactly, Conor didn't land a meaningful shot after the first couple rounds. Floyd walked straight forward and landed power shots. People don't know what they are watching.Quote:

Floyd is obviously winning the fight on the cards when it stopped, but 89-81? Cut the shit. Connor won the first three rounds IMHO.
Wouldn't surprise me if the judge took the rabbit punch points on his own without the ref doing it.Quote:

I gave 2 and 3 to McGregor but they weren't that lopsided and Mayweather while landed less controlled the ring and landed some shots. What does it matter? It wasn't a close fight and Mayweather got him out of there.
Scorecards were definitely a joke to some point but Floyd owned him on the stats.
A lot of what Conor threw was blocked or barely grazed Mayweather. Conor could have lost a point or more for his rookie mistakes so I don't have a problem with it.
Whenever they can give a round to Floyd which is any of them after the first three in this fight imo then they will because they want to protect his legacy and not make the sport of boxing look silly.
It's too bad that the judges giving Mayweather round 2 cost c$ 72K.

Agreed as did CBS Sports.. Also how the hell can they score it a 10-8 rnd without a knockdown at least.. I thought that was a given.. I mean even in MMA a 10-8 rnd is only a given if there is a major knockdown or a submission attempt usually that is credible..Quote:

If anyone is interested.
On a side note how much do you think Mayweather paid Reggie Parks or whomever to make him that belt Because we all know the WBC sure as hell didn't pay for it and Conner while he's a vain punk at times didn't make it either.. Guessing when you have Floyds money you can make your own trophies to win in your boxing matches
The raw gold price alone is about 60k giving current prices not to mention the 2000 plus diamonds and other stones.. Going to guess it was north of $1m for the materials plus whatever Labor was charged..
i think im ready to move on
Don't bring mma scoring into a boxing scoring conversation. Apples, orangesQuote:

I forgot to mention I approve of these Corona girls sporting their camel toe.
Fight was stopped too early, but it didn't matter. Connor was done. He was exhausted to the point where he couldn't throw a real punch. In the 9th round it was clear he was done.
Even if he stretched out it out 2+ more rounds (which would have won me a +300 bet, btw), he would have lost the decision, even ignoring any unfair scoring benefiting Mayweather.
Respect to Conor for real. He fought tough and took his loss like a man.
Stop was appropriate IMO, Conor did not throw a punch for 1.5 mins and could barely stand, thats how guys get sever brain damageQuote:

instead, we get the result that everyone is talking about and will almost guarantee a part 2

"Multiple sources told ESPN that Mayweather went into the sportsbook at the M Resort in Las Vegas at around 3:30 p.m. PT Saturday with cash and plans to bet on his fight against UFC star Conor McGregor."
So hours before the biggest fight (at least financially) of his entire career, Mayweather is lol strolling into his local neighborhood shop with 400k in cash on him trying to bet? Does anyone else find that absolutely insane?
Or, why is connor conveniently looking up at the clock in the 9th round, when the o/u was 9 1/2? He literally looked up at 1:23 mark in the 9th round and didn't give a foock after that.
Oh and nice of big dick to give us betting advice....
If it wasn't him I'd say it was odd.Quote:

Conor did a hell of a lot better than anyone ever thought.
Floyd needs to be done for real this time. He's slowed considerably. His hands didn't even look that fast last night.
I'm glad this is over, and it ended without controversy.
