StarPanda Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Honest opinion maybe mayweather could have ended the fight alot sooner But MacGregor lasted longer then i thought going 10 was suprising to some , if he had a bit more boxing experience and better stamina he could have gone the full 12, he would have still lost tho Dude got gassed and just couldn't defend himself kept running and getting hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenigundam Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Also, I called it just about right for the students in my class. They wanted my opinion and I predicted PBF by TKO due to ref stoppage from continuous punishment. I told them Rd 9 though, close enough, he was done by the end of Rd 8.

The average Mayweather bet was 50 times as big as the average Mcgregor bet... The sharps were all over Mayweather like that guy who wagered $1,000,000. The public hates Mayweather and didn't realize how slow Conor's hands looked and how awkward his punches were in that first boxing video he released (seriously PAWING your straights? You could just tell he doesn't have a natural feel for boxing. I've seen amateurs who know how to throw Tyson hooks instinctively) If I lived in Vegas and had $$ saved up, I would have definitely thrown a bunch on PBF by TKO at 4/7. The only thing that kinda surprised me was how Mayweather didn't pick.him apart with his jab in the early rounds. I know he wanted to draw it out, but I still thought he'd want to put on a clinic every round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mix Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 I can see why mcgregor is a little mad with the fight being called if hes standing he wants to continue fighting No he has to say that to save face....the same reason why he said Nate Diaz beat him because he was "4 times his size"...he can never just say he lost In the contracts drawn up for this fight, it was specifically stated that there would be no standing 8 counts...I assume that was done to help McGregor as he thought he would be in the position Floyd was in and didn't want Floyd saved by a standing count since a knockout was widely recognized as his only chance for victory... Another 2 minutes (time remaining in that round) would have yielded the same result, but with much more extensive brain damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenigundam Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 No he has to say that to save face....the same reason why he said Nate Diaz beat him because he was "4 times his size"...he can never just say he lost Which is ironic since he's the one who rehydrated to 168 for this fight.

Zenigundam Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 His jab looked nice, but when I think of natural boxers I think of guys with explosive reflexes and/or pure power. So, I generally think of a technical, speed fighter like Roy Jones Jr. or Sugar Ray or I think of a heavy hitter who can just go in and blow the lid off of somebody like a schoolyard bully such as Marciano or Tyson. If he doesn't have lightning fast hands in his boxing video or he isn't heavy handed and launching his weight into his punches such that they look devastating, I don't consider him a natural talent, and McGregor's hand speed is definitely below average for 154, and he doesn't know how to hit hard with boxing gloves because he throws from such weird angles, and not just the weird overhand hammers, but those loopy uppercuts too.

I think he's been less impressive since moving to welterweight, save the Hatton and Marquez fights. I don't marvel at his welterweight and junior middleweight history because of how carefully he picked opponents. His legacy would have been different if he had been a come one, come all, old school fighter who didn't care about fighting prime 27 year old monsters with 28-0 records with 26 KOs and such instead of a "let me book the safe fights that I'll be a strong favorite in at this weight class" guy.

Zenigundam Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Nah, I'm right lol. McGregor's hands are so darn slow, and how did nobody ever teach him how to generate torque power and throw straights and hooks? Comes naturally and he has an awkward frame, so I guess the loopy shots are just what his body allows him to throw. Works in the UFC when you've got those mittens on your hands, but those things end up looking telegraphed in boxing gloves. And nobody would ever watch a fight between him and Malignaggi. Malignaggi hits like a flyweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
