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.
