Brutal. McGregor hung in there to 10 though. If one of those near-hits had landed in later rounds.....could have been a completely different story.
How is McGregor scum? He had a few bad looks with some borderline racial stuff.. but as far as I know he has a clean history. Just talks a lot of ****, which is probably more of his persona than anything.
Conor who?
He started losing energy by the end of the 3rd, IMO. And that had pretty much zero to do with Mayweather, unless of course the game plan was to just let McGregor tire out after 3. Maybe if he used those early rounds to feel it out a bit, he might be in a better position in rounds 7 8 and 9. Then again, he's have never won 1, 2 and 3 if he didn't go on the attack.
It's what many thought, boxing requires much more stamina. McGregor tired out and he needs to improve that area. Would love to see him dabble in both Boxing and MMA to get the best of both worlds.
You posted about McGregor at 1:00am this morning.. so, yes, it would seem you think about Conor first thing in the morning.
29 year old guy had stamina issues and 40 year old didn't. Now that's funny. McGregor is a joke in boxing. He will never win a boxing match against quality opponent. (unless Mayweather comes back out of retirement for his 50th birthday).
When you guys say macgregor fared better in boxing than mayweather in MMA are you saying that if an in his prime 29 year old mayweather fought an over the hill 40 year old MMA fighter that had been retired for 2 years that the MMA fighter would have basically toyed with Mayweather and laid on him for a couple of rounds until mayweather was completely exhausted and looked like a walking corpse and then put him in a submission and stopped the fight? Because that's basically what mayweather did to macgregor. At one point in between rounds he looked at the camera and laughed.
He's a 40 year old boxer that hasn't fought in 2 years and his main strengths are stamina and speed which you couldn't pick 2 things that worsen more dramatically with age and he wasn't even challenged by a 29 year old. Anyone taking away a large positive for macgregor was just looking for it and spinning.
Don't really care about either sport but it seems it takes more talent to be an MMA fighter as opposed to one dimensional. When people fight, when do they ever just box?
McGregor faired far better in boxing than Mayweather ever would in MMA.

O'rly?
Absolutely no reason ANYONE can't say McGregor, a man that has never boxed a professional boxing match did a good job.

I'm saying an MMA fighter would get his *** kicked in a boxing match and a boxer would get his *** kicked in an MMA fight. The same way an NBA player would get his *** kicked in an ice hockey game and vice versa. I'm just not sure why you guys keep saying it as if it's this really smart take and not completely obvious.
