man - you might be giving Connor too much credit ...
whats a punchers chance if a fighter didn't even bother to learn how to punch?
this dude went through camp just saying nope -I'm a great fighter already
Final ALL ACCESS clearly proves Floyd carried Conor

Oh trust me, I'm.not giving him ANY credit lol
This fight only proved he was either lying to us all or lying to himself.
But boxing has also gotten to such a high level, especially in the case of mayweather, that this was a good reminder to us all, what they're REALLY doing in there and why no one can just walk up with "something different" and short circuit it, even if they're 11 years younger, in their prime, facing a 40 year old man. This showed it all. No debate. What sold the tickets was the fact that truthfully, lots of true fans had kinda forgot, and casual fans never knew. I enjoyed seeing it
shit... I was watching Roger and Floyd work with focus mitts - Roger's hand speed is still impressive, I doubt Connor could out box old Roger for a round
I wonder if Connor would still have a career if for one round maybe rd 4 or 5 Floyd just boxed, be elusive, cut off the ring, , picked his angles, stepped into his counter punches, sat on the straight rights and check hooks
no one bothered to show him how truly great and talented Pac is and solid with fundamentals to be able to get those angles on Mayweather or how great and what a true natural Canelo is to compete and avoid Floyd setting him up for a knock out
I really just wanted to see that mick get his brains beat out in da middle of da ring for my entertainment. Guess I'ma have to get my thrills via finding various underground fight clubs here in da city. Only outright, barbarian savagery would suffice.
Prolly not lol.
Thing is, not as many fans who are watching, have ever boxed at all before. I haven't either really, beyond some stupid amateur play play competition. But back in the boxings heyday, lots of people had at least tried it, so more people had a clue what they were looking at and what goes into it.
Boxing is just now seeming to become an important factor in Mma, as before it was mostly jiu jitsu and wrestling guys who boxed just enough to get the game to the ground. The strikers were coming from muay Thai , kick boxing and karate mostly. Anderson Silva had a touch of boxing in his game and he seemed to be a natural. Remember, he almost got to get in there with Roy Jones for a sec. Recently , Nick DiaZ, tyron woodley, Jorge masvidal, suit, even Conor and some others have shown the brilliance of boxing. The fights start standing up.

Conor shouldve known enough about boxing to know it.wasnt that easy. Or at least he SHOULD have. I kinda think that he may have forgotten after beating those Mma guys in boxing. He was so deep in his lie, I don't know if he was lying to us or himself lol
I just need to see somebody get Apollo'd. Fuck all this sawft shit niggas is on. Punch a muthafucka brains out or sum'n. Entertain me.
That was cool. It was good to see the pre fight stuff.
That's what the fuck I'm talking about. For years, months and days devils wanted to see Floyd defeated and or beaten bloody even if he won and he never game them that. Now he gets a slick talking mick in the ring and the fucking ref stops the fight before that slick talking cunt conners' face could smack the floor. Ain't no surprise they set if up the save that mick from what was coming for him.
Yeah I really hate Floyd took it easy on him
Lol the lead up makes the end of all that much sweeter
Props to the camera crew in the 3rd episode. Especially in the final few minutes when they get that outdoor exchange with Paulie & McGregor's camp. The camera(s) are right up in there.
Cued up just before the exchange ...
Lol and now we can see it was clearly a low blow.@ Skip Bayless saying Connor won the 9th round. I wish that ref would have just let Mayweather finish him completely in the 10th round.
Conor dumbass ass talmbout "body!" Lmao
The amount of delusion here is simply amazing.. A moron can convince himself of anything apparently. This guy sounds like a complete fucking fool.
I used to wonder why some of these old boxing guys hated MMA so much, and I THOUGHT most MMA fans came from being boxing fans, as I did. This guys literally a fighter and knows NOTHING about one of the crucial parts of the game he was once in. He isn't anymore, unforyunateky dude contracted a virus that wouldn't allow him to fight.The amount of delusion here is simply amazing.. A moron can convince himself of anything apparently. This guy sounds like a complete fucking fool.
Shit, I gave him the 8th round at first and I'm not 100% sure about that anymore.
I'll said this before and I'll say it again: Conor lives in Vegas and his time between fights should be spent at the Mayweather Gym working with Floyd and his daddy. He should be learning the business both IN and OUT of the ring so that when Dana squeezes every bit of use out of him and kicks him to the curb he'll have not just money but name value.
Looks like Floyd was pulling his punches. You're taught to punch thru the tsrget, he usually does. He wasn't trying to hurt CM, just do enough so the ref stopped it.
Connor knew he wasn't going to win shit. It's Floyd.
It was a money grab for both of them. Based on Floyd's methodical style he felt he wouldn't be injured and simply lose. Had Floyd decided to end that shit in round one it would have been unexpected and painful. Floyd should have hurt him on general principle. He didn't deserve to be in the same ring as Floyd.

I think he knows quite a bit on how to get money and notoriety in Mma. Prolly better than Dana, cuz Dana sure hasn't made these deals with him out of the goodness of his heart. Conor has consistently given him deals he couldn't refuse and this time he got Dana involved on the biggest single night payday that company has ever seen.
If he really wants to step up his boxing game.as it refers to Mma , cool. If.he goes to them to.try to get good enough to box the other young lions in the sport, it's too late for that. If he boxes anyone else,he will just fall lower and lower. Stay in Mma if he's gonna stay on any sports. Truthfully be should retire now. It's only downhill from here. There's no possible way for him to see even half of thag check.
Floyd has always pulled his punches at Welterweight and above. That's why he rarely hurts his opponents. His punches are quicker, accurate and have just enough pop to keep folks honest. When he was younger he punched through folks. Technically I believe he simply grew to realize there are ways to build your reputation and make money without the need to leave bodies or blood on the canvas. It's a recipe he mastered and he alone can benefit. It's in essence his own personal niche. We'll see if anyone replicates it. I doubt it.
Didn't pull his punches with Berto, Canelo, or Cotto etc.
I think that even though it won't be as lucrative, he needs to take the fight with Paulie, especially if they do it in Ireland as the rumors suggest. Also he should take the Diaz fight. After that THEN he should retire, because there are no big money fights left.
Like the dude in the video I posted yesterday said why should he get fucked up for 10 million when he potentially made over 100 million?
I agree. Those two are a nice check AND I wanna see em. Conor would lose them both. That phony confidence and extra shit he does to get people off their games is over. He wrung every drop out of it with floyd.
There's another $100 million dollar fight for him. There's this dude named Manny. Those Irish dudes would love to have him WIN one against arguably the second best fighter in this generation. Cotto is too big in my opinion. Latin dudes would pay big money for that one. I agree with the retirement thing though. He could retire now after the money Floyd made for him but there's another big payday and LOSS for his ass.
Damn you're right but both of those involve getting beat THE FUCK up lol. Maybe Manny aint hitting as hard anymore but he'd still stop him. Cotto would hurt that boy. That's head trauma
Yeah, but the intrigue would be if Floyd helped promotes/trains Conor for that fight. If he goes in as he is, Paulie beats the shit out of him. If Floyd trains him it levels the field a little.
I said before, It's contingent on Floyd training him. That backstory makes it more interesting.
As it is, that fight is a repeat of Pacquiao's fight with Margarito.
Manny still hits harder than a muthafucka (heavy handed little dude) but folks realize the recipe to survive is to keep his ass off you and box. You just can't go toe to toe with his ass. I know that might rile up a few dudes but I don't think anyone in his weight class can "fight" this dude. When asked about his knockout of Manny even Marquez said he threw that fuckin' punch to save his own ass because he felt like Manny was going to knock him out. That's the kind of shit that McGregor might actually avoid. I also find it ironic that Manny decided to NOT have the rematch with Horn in the Fall. Don't be shocked when you see the Manny vs McGregor fight announced. Cotto? You got that right. No where to hide with Cotto at the moment.
