Boxing is an outdated art and boxers would die in MMA at this stage of evolution. They are incrementally better with hands than MMA fighters while 100% lacking every other skill, as shown by this fight.

Conor basically lost not due to skill but because Mayweather has better cardio since this is his 50th boxing match vs Conor's first ever.

Even just switching to 4oz gloves means Conor by KO early.

This was an overwhelming win for MMA. Guys like Kellerman must be in shock.

Jesus, no. Just no. Floyd never even tried and still won. As I said weeks ago he legitimately could ko Conor in 12 seconds, so he decided to put on a farce. It wasn't even as hard as an average sparring session.
 
Yeah, I thought Mayweather would dominate an 0-0 guy and stop him withing six, honestly, though I really like McGregor. Andre Ward had it exactly right when he said Mayweather would take over by the sixth. Shocking, really, that there isn't a bigger difference between a goat-level boxer and an MMA-fighter boxing for the first time. I suspect that Mayweather crossing over into mma wouldn't go nearly as well.
 
I agree.
McGregor would have ended this in one.
Floyd turtled up and gave up his back.
 
lol floyd schooled your boy
be honest
he let him dance for a few rounds
 
That Mac landed lots of punches and might have won with better cardio? (As opposed to this being the joke fight of the century where Mayweather would destroy him?)

Lol I thought it was a perfect enactment of clean crisp punching technique vs just raw power

Oh please, you sound like a child. Is that why he did nothing of note until Conor gassed so bad he could barely stand? Conor is obviously the better fighter in every way, Floyd is better at marathon running.

Hahahahaha. No. Conor lost a cardio want to a 40 year old man.

Yes, so it absolutely destroys this fantasy many people have that boxers are so dangerous in MMA that they can catch a guy coming in.

Floyd loses a kickboxing match, much less grappling.
 
Im very happy with this outcome because it was exactly what everyone in the room expected to happen. Conor having some success early but get stopped by the referee or not being able to answer the bell in later rounds. More than that, this really showed Floyds discipline. Good fight.

You've never seen boxing. Floyd put on a show to mock the clueless fans (whom he never respected) against a nothing opponent. I also predicted Mayweather could knock Conor out without punches and he basically did in the first three. It was a joke, he laughed at the events of the fight, and won because he was bored with the farce.
 
Yup I thought Mac wasnt supposed to land a single clean punch on Mayweather according to the experts here. LOL. This is a McGregor moral victory 100%.
 
Conor has zero power as a boxer.. So much for that left. Floyd didn't look like he was touched.

Lol he didn't land. Floyd walked him down. You can't call them things punches.
 
Floyd was always in control
Conor didnt stand a chance
