LOL.


That's terrible. I hate that style being rewarded. It's rewarded in the end by tiring out the guy you don't have to give him points.

media makes mayweather out to be a punk. this is the first time i'm really seeing him and in the interviews he is a true professional and very respectable. he earned my respect tonight.

i wonder if the judges were pissed a MMA guy was boxing. Sort of like the Media vs Trump.

Add Julio Cesar Chavez to that list

This was the easiest strategy to formulate in the world. Mayweather did a good job of executing on it. Hawaii, what ended up happening with you and that special lady friend?

I felt similarly about McGregor.

But Floyd would've gotten killed by a real boxer

Floyd's great. But he didn't do shit before Round 4.

You can't say he won 9 of 10 rounds.

Agreed -- that was his plan. Let Conor box himself out of the match by spending too much energy. Modified rope-a-dope.

YES EXACTLY. That's the same thing they say about Marciano. Both these 2 undefeated guys had uncanny similar careers.

Think if Marciano had to face a Ali or Frazier. Or Mayweather had to face Hearns or Hagler. They both would be beaten to a pulp vs those guys.

Imagine Marciano fighting a prime Joe Louis

Sure. Floyd is smart. That's why he's 50-0.

But at 40 years old, he's lucky he didn't get knocked the fuck out. I've never seen him not be able to slip punches like tonight.

what did the judges have? Its fun to speculate what would have happened if it went the full 12 and to the judges.

I think that's a risk you take for 100M+... he had to know that McGregor is good enough to tag him a couple of times... just needs to have it be a couple and not twenty. That being said, my totally legal viewing of the fight was a little lagged in the first couple of rounds, so I can't really state how well/poorly he did.

They listed them.

One guy had it 89-81 Mayweather.

The others were slightly less in Mayweather's favor.

I still think whatever the judges had, if it went the full 12 whoever is the Don King of today would have schemed it a draw so they could have a rematch.

I was pretty impressed with McGregor.

His style was stupid ugly and unorthodox but I think it confused Floyd for 3 or 4 rounds.

I thought McGregor won first 2 and possibly 3rd then it was over.

I think the weird angled punches Conor threw helped in the beginning.


2nd fight was great.

I was a big Tyson fan in the late 80s. If he stayed with Cus' team and not been corrupted by Don King, he would have been 70-0. Poor Mike. At least he turned his life around and seems happy. But what could have been. Mike SHOULD HAVE gone down in history as the greatest ever. :shaking:

So Mayweather just admitted on live tv that he bet on his own fight. Is that legal?
