Re: Mayweather - Mcgregor Press Conference/Fight Night RBR
Oh well. I would have loved to seen Conor at least knock him down once, but we all knew this was going to be the outcome. I turned it off as soon as he stopped it. I don't even want to see Floyd act like this was some great win for him.

Yeah, professional athletes intentionally dig themselves a hole all the time.

Well, if Mayweather's to be believed then maybe he did... Who knows.

Re: Mayweather - Mcgregor Press Conference/Fight Night RBR
I don't disagree with McGregor about the stoppage being a bit early.
Re: Mayweather - Mcgregor Press Conference/Fight Night RBR
I like Conor a lot more after this fight and after the interview.

He looked to be on his way down, but he wasn't badly hurt. I think he did deserve the right to continue.

He was getting peppered and reeling..by a Floyd fighting forward. Really only one way that ends I think. If not a Conner-event no problems imo.
Re: Mayweather - Mcgregor Press Conference/Fight Night RBR
I give Mcgregor a lot of respect. He did much better than I thought he would. He also took shots better than I thought he would.
With that said, I think Mayweather knew that he was nowhere near the fighter he was before so he did intentionally let Mcgregor use up his energy and power at the beginning of the fight and preserve his own energy. Mcgregor was also much bigger than I anticipated.
At the end of the day, fighting an old fighter who depends on speed and quickness can make you look pretty good. He would obviously get destroyed by an actual 154 fighter.
