So an MMA guy goes against the best boxer in the world and he lasts 10 rounds and even gets a decent amount of punches in.
Yet, punching is just one aspect of MMA: you also have wrestling, submissions, kicks, clinching...
The only thing this fight proved is that to be a good MMA fighter you need to be world class at every single aspect of fighting.
>best boxer in the world
Mayweather isn't even a top 25 boxer in the world right now, he was clearly washed and has been since the 2nd Maidana fight.
Fuck that no-heart potato nigger, he got his ass kicked
Looked as good as he did in the Pac fight and I don't mean against Conor, I mean in terms of speed and atheleticism. He doesn't seem to age.
Out of fairness Mayweather should now go against McGoober w/ MMA rules.
I mean beating someone in Monopoly with your own house rules is one thing...
Fight was rigged to make the defeat as soft as possible for Mcgregor and UFC
Expect mayweather to be hounded by the feds soon
No he didn't.
Feet gone, reflexes looked pretty much shot too.
Also just walked Conor down, no smart strategies. Pretty much just a high guard and an ATG lead right hand.
If Conor had fought Errol Spence or another world class 154 pounder or Alvarez he would have legit left on a stretcher.
Mayweather is no longer the best.
He's 40 coming from a 2 year lay-off and looked like that.

>DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS BOOKIES BELONG TO?
>Tom Brady washes the floor with CJ Mosely in a passing competition
>Now to prove who the best football player is they should have to tackle each other!
Why would floyd submit to having his head caved in
>The only thing this fight proved is that to be a good MMA fighter you need to be world class at every single aspect of fighting.
Conor has shit cardio and grappling skills, and as we've seen his boxing isn't that bood. He's a meme just like Ronda.
The count meme is pretty stupid. Floyd didn't fight Conor the way he fought Pac
Conor's mouth is what got him this fight. He knew he was fighting someone not known for their power, 40 years old, and coming out of retirement. Mayweather had some ring rust and still dominated the fight. Some of you have very little understanding of boxing and what took place last night. Put Conor in with a legit power puncher like GGG and its lights out.
Every weapon Floyd has can be used against Conor in the octagon you know. That analogy was retarded btw
or that to be the best boxer in mma, you dont need to be a good boxer
>The only thing this fight proved is that to be a good MMA fighter you need to be world class at every single aspect of fighting.
the only thing this proved was that mayweather was a much better boxer than conor.
besides, conor's strength in mma is boxing.
All has gone exactly as designed
>The only thing this fight proved is that to be a good MMA fighter you need to be world class at every single aspect of fighting.
it proves that mma is jack of all trades master of none
except goober isnt even a jack on the ground
you think anyone would stand up in an mma fight with floyd?
i'm a wrestler and i would go straight for a double leg takedown
after that it's over
>it proves that mma is jack of all trades master of none
exactly. you could either become a physicist or a chemist, but if you wanted to study both you couldn't make a career out of it.
what's so hard to understand.
I get it, but the point still remains that Floyd still has his arsenal available to him
it's like a triathlete or a decathlete going up against a pecialist of one of the disciplines.
The baffling thing is that there were people who actually believed mcgregor could win. what the fuck is wrong with them?
Anyway now i want to see federer going up against a top table tennis player
This fight proved that none of that matters because connecting good punches is what wins fights. I guess MacGregor should have hit him with the Hirkana or something, in your world?
Why the fuck would he do a MMA match? They would try to pay him less then a quarter of what he made last night
if you were so sure why didn't you bet big on floyd winning?
it's easy to be captain obvious in hindsight
Why is everyone pretending that mayweather is some KO artist that should have knocked him out within a few rounds. hes an old man with broken hands who hasnt had a non decision win in over a decade
I don't bet. And I don't follow MMA or boxe, I just learned about this yesterday here.
anyway it's not hindsight, I made the same post yesterday before the match
We've seen professional boxers step into the octagon and get crushed like paper cups. If it stayed as a stand and trade guaranteed they would win but their simply isn't enough time to incorporate any ground work or TDD in the time allotted for training between most fights.
8 months training in Jiu Jitsu isn't going to make you near a black belt.
come on, Goobs looked like a fucking fool out there.
It was embarrassing.
He supposedly cleared just over $7 million after taxes and payouts, but it cost MMA everything.
We look like 2nd rate fuck-ups now. Maybe we are.
It was Conor pretending he could box. MAyweather never said shit about MMA.
>7 mil
so the ira took the other 23 mil?
he did. he said he would want a second fight in the octgon.
Floyd was playing with him because he knew the over/under before the fight began.
Mayweather is 41 years old and was retired for 2 years. Prime Floyd would have destroyed McGregor in under 5 rounds.
that was the point numbnuts - Floyd toyed with Conor for most of the fight and beat him without having to use footwork or anything fancy.
Gawdamn casual.
Rose is by fare the hottest mma chick.
>not Miesha "sit on my face" Tate
wtf I love kicking like a girl and humping like a fag now
That's nonsense.
Go back to laboring
TMT could promote. They could make a boat load. Butit'd be an ego thing and too much risk for their career.
This proved MmA most realistic combat sport. He didn't get finished quickly.
Any high ranked boxer would get finished quickly in the cage. And probably take the beating of their career defenseless on the ground.
so you're telling me you could all of the following:
gold medallist in wrestling
4th degree black belt in bjj
belt holder in boxing
muay thai champion
??
This 2bh
who's that
she's cute
Stand and trade - with kicks knees n elbows and the pure boxer would still get wrecked
rose namajunas
>Why would floyd submit to having his head caved in
To prove he's "the best fighter of all time", at or at least that's the majority of the internet especially twitter is claiming
Ok. Let me break this down for the last time Floyd was 40 years old and Mcgregor was 29 no way you let a old man have better stamina than you Mcgregor fans your boy got setup for three rounds and he fell right in the trap Floyd knew dude had no power in his punches so he let him throw as many as he wanted Be greatful the ref stopped this fight because Mcgregor would be in the hospital right now if he didn't when the person punching you lands 88% of his punches in a round and you don't move what you thought the ref was gone do This ain't for all Mcgregor fans but for the dumbasses that thought he was gone win stop with all the excuses and just take that L he already got 3 so he use to them y'all should too
In the end conor went 10 rounds and landed more punches than most professional boxers (when boxing is 1/10 of conor overall mma training) vs floyd, and if floyd went to the octagon he wouldn't last 30 sec inside round 1, and imagine what he's gonna do to the fighters in the ufc when he went 10 rounds with the best boxer of all time his boxing compared to other fighters now is amazing
I love the mental gymnastics this fight has generated. "Conor didn't get destroyed immediately, therefore boxing is shit". I mean, he still got rekt, Floyd was still clearly the superior fighter. Are Goobs fans really this desperate?
