Denilson has landed a writing gig with ESPN. Nice.

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

there are two things floyd figured out pretty early. mcgregor was leaving a very long southpaw jab out. what that does is fill up the space where you can throw your jab. so you dont get room to extend your jab out. floyd was not going to jab with or out jab mcgregor. not this way. and he was trying to steal his right hand from way out. mcgregor was seeing it coming and slipping it.

so what he decided to do was to get squared up and get his hands up. forget trying to out jab the guy. just get your hands up and walk through the jab. then get yourself closer so you can steal your right hand from up closer. that way mcgregor doesnt see it coming from way out. he gets it from up close so he doesnt have as much time to react to it.

mcgregor had no answer. well, but to get hit with a lot of right hands and to throw a lot of punches at floyd arms and gloves, that is. i guess that would take about 10 rounds, as hard as floyd punches.

Have to admit watched the full fight on Showtime this weekend. I kept waiting for these nip and tuck rounds the cable shows and a few elsewhere kept mentioning while it was live. I made it a point to stay out of the knuckle dragging keyboard wars on FB that sprang up right after that slammed the stoppage and Mayweather in general, mainly from many friends who follow mma. Being honest Floyd was in complete control, he wasn't 'forced' to find a way to win he simply executed a common sense game plan set well in advance. After 3, 4th it was his show to end and I don't ever remember seeing Mayweather walk straight in one punch at a time and standing his ground. He set the hook, towed him out to the deep end helped him collapse on his dead legs and depleted lungs. I don't think Floyd is as done, slowed as some said though I certainly would like him to stay on the shelf. Conor was class in extended interviews also.

Shit I cannot believe kept this floating with more posting

Everyone says Conor is a nice guy and did well to sell the fight but he was piss poor and should be embarrassed with his performance.

Floyd was laughing inside at how rubbish technically Conor from the first round.

Conor was shit and he should retire to Ireland and never fight again. He has shamed his MMA/UFC sport and they should all ban him from the sport.
