Didnt even look the fight, I knew it would be boring and the issue is absolutely not surprising. Thanks god, now the freak circus is over, props to Connor for the clever marketing and for daring to swith sport and fight the elite of the game with a very short preparation in the circumstances.
You missed Floyd losing the first 3 rounds and a very exciting fight. Much more competitive then most thought it would be. I question the legitimacy of it all but it was very fun to watch. Good fight.Quote:

Ha what a picture.
Well i must be really drunk. I saw Floyd Play with a guy that shouldn't of even been in the ring with him. Gregory had fucks chance all night at landing anything. He was slow and gassed in rd 3. He landed nuttin on Floyd of any significance.
Mayweather could have knocked him out in round one. But that wouldn't make a good night for all the Irish fans who spent thousands in Vegas and the people around the world who paid money to see the fight on ppv.
We all knew it was a farce. It grabbed our interest for a while but ultimately is was only going one way.
The bookies are laughing at the income. Gregory and Floyd are laughing all the way to the bank.
I am laughing because it panned out just as i predicted apart from what round the stoppage was.
The only people butt hurt are the Fans that actually thought Gregory had a chance ..hahahahamuhahhahamuahhaaahahaha
I don't know if Floyd would volunteer to take those shots. I hate to think it was a fix but im not privy to the inside scoop.
What shots?Quote:

Did u see the fightQuote:

McGregors technique was awful, there was no power in his punches from the get go, he landed one nice uppercut on Floyd in the second I think it was but it had no affect whatsoever.
By the 4th round he was done, what power he did have had completely left him.
He lacked the muscle memory needed, that was why he couldn't stop throwing the rabbit punches and kept on working his way behind Floyd and still throwing, I'm not knocking him for that, those sorts of moves are ingrained into him through UFC, he wasn't just trying to learn how to box he had to try and forget years of UFC/MMA.
And the people who have said the stoppage was premature, I disagree, Conor was done, Floyd was landing at will.
I'm just happy that the fight went off without a hitch, no controversy, no surprises, no nothing
Does anyone want to talk about Canelo v GGG
Lets discuss this crazy, stupid and zany prediction. GGG is a machine and can not be stopped.Quote:

I was completely in the "circus group". But I must say the fight itself was more watchable than I thought it would be. Yes... Floyd probably wanted it to last more than one round, and he had nothing to lose by hanging back and waiting for Conor to tire, which of course he did. But Conor did manage to pop Floyd more than just two or three times during the fight. It's gonna happen when two professional fighters engage.
If anything, it was entertaining watching Floyd going forward on seek and destroy mode probably for the first time in, well........ probably ever.
Still peeved that Floyd gets to 50-0 by beating someone other than a professional boxer.
Great, great achievement for Floyd. Who's next, Magnus Carlsen ?
