Decent fight. Connor had almost no power after the 5th round. I was shocked he lasted that long. Connor represented himself well. I'll say this as well...Mayweather has gotten old. He put on about about 10 years in the past 2. Very little footwork from him until he started sweating (about 7th round). Good stoppage as well. Connor even said "I'm dead. I'm dead." after the ref called it. He new he was done.

Typical May fight. Let your opponent wear themselves out trying to land punches to your protected head then just when it gets interesting light him up

Conor went 10 rounds in his first boxing match vs the proclaimed greatest.Mayweather would last one round with Conor in MMA.Nothing else needs to be said.I can't believe he did as well as he did tonight.That's my take away from this.

Ray Jones Jr said it best, if Conor last more than three rounds and holds his own it delegitimizes boxing at this point.

Not taking away anything from Conor, bc he did well considering his experience, but that's a little much. Money spends the first 2-3 rounds scouting out his opponent. He barely threw punches. I think most people knew Conor would "last" last 3. I don't think it delegitimizates boxing whatsoever. It just says that Mayweather's style of boxing is boring as hell to folks that like MMA. Not wrong or right - just preference in sport.

Boxing is Dead. It's become a terrible sport.

Heh yeah he did. He lost 4-5 rounds. If McGregor had any endurance he would have won the fight against the self proclaimed Goat of boxing.

Mayweather wasn't even out of breath in the late rounds of that fight. Anyone can win a round in boxing when you go all out be aggressive. But if you don't get the KO is those moments of aggression, you set yourself up for failure through exhaustion. Mayweather played McGregor like a fiddle last night.

I respect your opinion. Mine is McGregor lasted 10 rounds in his first boxing match and won 4 rounds against the supposed GOAT of boxing. Mayweather would get absolutely destroyed in 1 round in the Octagon. That's really all that needs to be said. That's my opinion. I'm not a McGregor fan or a huge fan of UFC. Too many major D-bags love it and go to the bars to watch it so that's a turn off. I've just watched a few boxing matches for free when they are hyped up and I'm dissappointed every time. Boxing died after TYson/Holyfield for me. I'm just a casual observer.

That's because Mayweather played around with him in early rounds...This could have been over much sooner.

Calling ******** on this. Mayweather won the only way he was going to be able to by letting McGregor totally wear himself out. Mayweather was definitely not KOing CM in the early rounds and if he had tried CM woulda knocked him out. FM baited him and waited for him to be totally spent and then he became ultra-aggressive. It was a brilliant strategy that CM shoulda seen coming a mile away. I came away impressed by both fighters. FM didn't lose his cool and try to knock out CM early and after the world made fun of him for not being able to read he was by far the smarter of the two fighters. I love that for FM. I am totally impressed by CM too. NOBODY goes 10 rounds vs the GOAT in their 1st ever fight. They don't even let pro boxers go more than 4 rounds in their first couple fights and then 6 rounds in their next couple fights. They have to work their way up to full 12 round events for a reason. They need to develop that stamina that is basically impossible to develop in training alone.

I agree that Mayweather wouldn't last one round in MMA. That's why I never bought into the idea of this fight.

Easy to win rounds when the other guy isn't punching and you're shooting your load going after him. Floyd had that planned perfectly. He let CM throw everything he had and wear himself out.. he wasn't worried about "losing" a few rounds. By the 8th, CM could barely raise his gloves to defend himself.
