You really, really don’t. Had you ever fought or trained at a decent level you would know what went down in that fight. It would be as familiar to you as it is to me, and anyone who’s ever shared a ring, mat, or cage with someone better than them to the degree at which they’re simply going through the motions. Like a Jits instructor getting some mat time in against a white belt, giving him a few dominant positions here and there, never in the slightest bit of danger, and probably barely even functioning on more than ‘autopilot’ while doing his thing.
You’ve already been identified as a laughing stock on this forum. That you’re not trolling genuinely makes me feel bad for you.
The fact you’ve just realised that Mayweather won rounds 2/3 says a lot about you. You’ve watched this shit 10 times ffs <45>
You have not made a single point that hasn’t been addressed by literally dozens of different posters, in most cases multiple times. You then accuse those posters of being biased or simply not seeing things correctly. The reason they’re not seeing the same thing as you isn’t because you’re more ‘woke’, uniquely unbiased, or have some unique insight, it’s because you take drugs that cause a distorted sense of reality and probably spend most of your time with Conor’s midsection obscuring your vision.
Haha
My old boxing trainer fought floyd when he was a young up and comer. I've been following him since 07 and hes been one of my biggest inspirations since day 1.
The idea that a fighter with among the most impressive defense stats in boxing history just allowed himself to take punches is just utterly absurd to me.
What I saw was a very distinct difference in speed, reflexes and reaction time, owing to Floyd's old age of 40 versus an opponent still in his prime. Which I believe is what allowed Conor to have that success both early and leading up to the 7th round. It was when Conor began to get tired that you seen Floyd open up and then move in for the kill.
It was clear that was Floyd's strategy from minute 1. Further emphasized by his corner. Allow him to punch himself out, make him miss, attack the body, play it safe and drag him into deeper waters.
Floyd definitely played it extremely safe, you only seen him fully open up when it was very clear Conor had nothing left to offer. Which is probably why some seen it as him sandbagging.
In reality it was strategic and how you might expect a 40 year old version of the man to fight.
There was a marginal difference in their speed, reflexes and reaction time, Conor was winning the chess match in those more subtle elements owning to his youth. His range and how he covered distance was an issue too. Every time Floyd did open up, he was countered. He was being beaten to the punch. For someone who supposedly understands fighting, there's a lot of subtle things that seem to go over your head.
The conspiracy theory is that Floyd just carried him and allowed himself to get hit
The logical reality is that Floyd is just old and a decade past his prime. And Conor is actually a lot better than he got credit for
After the fight, legions of pro boxers, coaches and legends commented on the fight. All gave him that respect. Sugar Ray Leonard not only said it during and after the cast, he made a video being impressed with Conors boxing talent. Not one comment of being carried. But what do they know right? They're only the greatest of the past present and future. What do the greatest minds in all of boxing know am I right?
From what I've seen, all the fighters, boxers, analysts and anyone who really knows the game wouldn't say too much different than what I've said here. Though there's definitely a few out there parroting the floyd carried him shit too. But it comes off very face saving. People that just don't wanna give an mma fighter any credit. Reeks of bias. I may not be some elite boxing analyst but I know some shit and most importantly, my inner bullshit detector is as strong as they come
