One Last Floyd v Gregory Thread
I don't usually start new threads i usually just lurk and post the odd comment but anyway here's my 2nd of the day and my last one. I gotta get this off my chest.
Since back in work on Tuesday i have been saying haha told you so to all the fairy heads in work that put money on Conor winning the fight. Some just put a bet on for a laugh and the the odds at the time but nearly all of them insist that Gregory fought really well and was winning the fight early on. All i hear them saying is that it was a close fight and Conor did well for the sport of MMA blaa blaa blaa
Its not just work though its all over the internet. Not just twitter and you tube etc all arse holes have opinions but even people in the media and comments in the sports pages of papers.
BULLSHIT
Floyd fuckin toyed with him from the start. If you think that Mcgregor even worried or bothered Mayweather one bit then you are fking deluded. He had no chance. Floyd knew he had no chance. Every sane person in the universe know he had fucks chance of beating Floyd. Mayweather simply give the fans a bit of value for their money. How can you not know this.
Seems the only guy i know who speaks the truth is Jeff.

Re: One Last Floyd v Gregory Thread
When Floyd throws 6 punches in a round you know he is playing with you. Connor threw only arm punches.
Re: One Last Floyd v Gregory Thread
I said that you knew Floyd was serious about knocking him out when he guaranteed it. Floyd never does that so he fought a fight which would guarantee a knockout. It's called losing the battle but winning the war.
Floyd could have just outboxed him to a super boring decision if he wanted to, but he decided that he could knock out Mcgregor without worry of getting hit too hard. There's a reason at the age of 40 he is willing to take shots from Mcgregor and not willing a few years earlier to take shots from any other opponent.
Re: One Last Floyd v Gregory Thread
It's psychology. People don't want to have been duped.
It went exactly as it was supposed to go. Was it scripted, no. But one person, who we knew would choose how it went, chose how it went.
Let them not understand what happened just as they didn't understand what would happen
I mean, Vegas denied his perfectly legal wager FFS, that says all you need to know. He couldn't bet 400k on the round, he couldn't even have a friend bet 400k on the round. They only let his friend bet 87,000 😂

Floyd is usually defensive and he's always safety first
But against Conor he just did not give a FUCK!
He showed Conor no respect and just walked in on him.
He found out McGregor's power was a myth
And then just walked him down with a smile.

Or Floyd was cautious for 2 rounds for no justifiable reason and then took another 8 long rounds to beat someone who has never boxed professionally before in his life.

He was coming off a long lay off and he is 40 years old
Plus he had no footage of Conor as a Boxer to study in preparation
So he didn't know what Conor was going to do in there.
He took his time and felt him out which was smart
No need to rush when he's got 12 rounds to do the job.

Or an man of Floyd's vast experience should have worked out that Conor had nothing and should have stepped it up earlier and stopped the cage fighter who looked embarrassingly amateurish.

That's not his style though
Why change a style that's worked for the past 49 fights?
Conor was 12 years younger and naturally a lot larger.
If Conor fought somebody his own size and age (Canelo)
He'd have got knocked out early but he picked a 40 year old

Floyd picked Conor and they set this "sting" up a year ago.

I think Conor called out Floyd whilst Mayweather was retired
Floyd saw an opportunity to make easy money and took it.

Floyd was always going to come out of "retirement" for the 50th fight and it should have been against a real boxer. In fact that should not even count as 50. That was a glorified sparring match.
