    Well, so I lost the stream at the beginning of the first round, then my wireless card decided it didn't want to work anymore (FUCKING WINDOWS 10!), so I didn't actually see much of this fight until round 7.

    Fuck it all.

    And fuck Mayweather.

    It's been removed by US Boxing Commissions since 1998. Only the mandatory 8 count is still around and requires a knockdown to invoke.

    Need to give credit to Floyd for not sitting on the lead and going for the finish.

    Conor should go back to MMA. It was cool that he tried this, and we got to see how he'd fair in a straight up boxing match, but he's already fought Floyd, so anything else would be a step down

    Floyd sat back the first couple of rounds and Conor got tired out

    McGregor's a tough guy but not a boxer. It's not a big surprise that he stood no chance in this. Just like Mayweather would stand no chance in the Octagon against McGregor.

    Dude got paid lol and everyone on the damn planet knows Conor would absolutely destroy Floyd if this wasn't such a limited fight.

    I kinda hope Floyd takes Conor under his belt and helps train his boxing aspect for his fights in the UFC.

    People are really going crazy with the hot takes. Mcgregor is great in MMA but he isn't even the best in MMA, he is just SUPER popular. He just isn't a boxer but did better than expected. Way better actually. Floyd is the best boxer in the world, greatest defensive boxer of all time, what did they expect ya know?

    That's what he ALWAYS does. Runs away until the last minute.

    I find it hard to believe that 50 world-class fighters have failed to figure this out. It's hard to process that.

    Duh. But he actually looked ok and proved a lot of the announcers wrong.

    If Floyd is such a great fighter he should step into a UFA octagon though.

    Conor is definitely the best in MMA in HIS weight classes. No one comes close to him at 145/155

    The first couple rounds, floyd just sat back and covered up. Connor landed a few good punches. But you could see Conor tiring out while Floyd didn't look tired at all.

    It's easy to say "Duh" now, but a lot of McGregor fans insisted he had a shot and that claiming he had zero chance was "hating."

    Yeah well he isn't going back down to 145, that weight cut is too brutal for him. I would like to see a Diaz/Mcgregor 3 since they are 1-1
