No, the complaints were about people wanting Conor to defend his belt, and people being tired of all the rematches.
Not really though. People thought it was a stupid fight for a multitude of reasons. What you said, and.... wait for it.... because Conor has little chance to win. He got decisively finished by someone on 11 days notice. Beating full camp Diaz wasn't likely to happen.
Yeah, fighting above his weight class where he's the champion while two FW contenders are fighting for an interim belt on the same exact card is retarded too. Still doesn't change the fact that the rematch was pointless.
lol at the "everyone was tired of all the rematches" blanket statement. Yeah, exactly. Nobody wants to see a rematch if it's not going to be fucking competitive. It's one of the MANY reasons people don't like rematches. It's not the most perplexing thing in the world to grasp. Holy shit. You somehow managed to reinforce my point as opposed to argue against it.
The betting lines reflect that this was viewed as a competitive fight.
>referencing betting lines as to why a fight can be competitive
A lot of people saw that fight as easy money.
The first fight was competitive so that by itself is good reason to think the second one would be.
Except it really wasn't. Every overhand left that Conor was spamming was getting him that much closer to his demise. Ever heard of the Tortoise and the Hare?
Conor "blew his gasket" in round 1 and early parts of round 2 against a notorious slow starter that had 11 days notice to boot, and he still only landed 37% of his strikes in round one. That's embarrassing.
