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.

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.
Hulk you are really going mad in your old age. That was pathetic. Floyd could afford to do nothing for 2 rounds. Conor did not land anything meaningful except the rabbit punches. Conor lost through exhaustion and had no legs left at the end.

Not trying to sound like Ron Swanson, but any fans who thought that was a competitive fight are stupid.
I had no doubt the whole fight that Floyd would win even when he wasn't throwing in the first few rounds. I was just more surprised that Mcgregor actually landed some decent shots (although they didn't seem to effect Floyd much). Floyd was obviously allowing engagement much more than other fights, but I still didn't think that Mcgregor could land as much as he did. I don't think that Floyd was just letting him hit him.

So no, I don't think that the fight was competitive in the sense that there was any doubt of the outcome, but I think that if Floyd could have avoided every punch and knocked him out cold in the third round that he would have done that.
