Dude used a high guard peekaboo style which he has literally NEVER used in his career, dude was playing with him, conor gassed out after the first 5 minutes Yall some delusional conor fangirls
Floyd was toying with him and carried him to the 10th. Floyd didn't even throw punches in the first round, didn't you notice that? He literally walked forward with a guard and took punches, when has he ever fought that way? He wanted the fight to last for the fans so they can get their moneys worth. But he doesn't realize the fans actually wanted him to display his skill and fight seriously so we can truly see the tremendous skill gap.
@@stickmen_legends0012 Knowing Floyd's ego, he would never let himself lose 4 rounds with a rookie, Floyd went life and death with Conor because of his rangy counterpunching style
Floyd's two year lay off at age 40 and Conor being in his prime with a 11 year age & size advantage and the best hand striking in MMA at the time, made this fight more competitive. That being said there was only to be one winner down the stretch!
One thing I always hated about boxing is how the ref will continuously give warnings, at what point is it clear they dont care about warnings and they actually start enforcing the rules? It should be soft warning, hard warning, then point not every round the refs like "okay but next time its going to be an issue"
That uppercut from mcgregor was beauty but Noticed that same uppercut landed less and less as Floyd started changing his entry/exist angles better and using his right hand to shield his chin more
People hate on Conor but that counter uppercut was beatiful. You can clearly see Floyd's approach to the fight change after that. It was like ''Okay, it won't be as easy as I thought it would be but I am still better''.
@@DizastrousMindsShine No one can imitate Floyd's highly skilled attacks to the body and his highly skilled guard techniques to drain Conor's stamina, so Conor's stamina problem is not that serious
I prefer boxing over MMA, though i watch both. I just love the art of boxing toe to toe. But boxing has not been up to its full potential for a long time. I miss the old days of Foreman, Duran, Holyfield, Lennox, Tyson, Toney, RJJr, and all the other greats. I want to see great boxing again.
What are you talking about boxing been great last couple years especially since Turki came in. We got Fury vs Usyk and plenty of crazy cards like 5v5, Joshua vs Dubois, Crawford vs Madrimov etc. next week is Beterbiev vs Bivol for undisputed
@@Rz-tt9zuYes great fight but it’s nothing like the olden days. in the 70s you got guys lik Ali, Frazier, Foreman, etc. that was the prime of boxing. then in the 80s you got Mike Tyson.
It was very interesting to watch Floyd fighting a young fighter in his prime who was in a higher weight class, strategically moving forward, receiving punches from his opponent, and attacking his opponent's body to drain his stamina
Honestly speaking, and as an unbiased fan of Mayweather originally, Conor was winning this until the end. And even then, the stoppage was unfair in my opinion.
Unfair stoppage? Conor was literally out on his feet not intelligently defending himself as Mayweather was teeing off on his head Just cause Conor never fell doesn’t mean he isn’t severely concussed from repeated blows the brain - the ref saved years of life for Conor, he would’ve ended up like Ferguson if he just kept taking punishment
@@SRTHEMI Knowing Floyd's ego, he would never let himself lose 4 rounds with a rookie, Floyd went life and death with Conor because of his rangy counterpunching style
Floyd lost the first 4 rounds, he went life and death with Conor Mgregor, because he is not used to fighting with fighters longer than him and who also know to use distance very well, Floyd was getting outboxed, Floyd's father always said that the punch that Floyd hates the most is a jab against him
No one can imitate Floyd's highly skilled attacks to the body and his highly skilled guard techniques to drain Conor's stamina, so Conor's stamina problem is not that serious
Not a Mcnuggets fan but he won rounds 1 to 5, possibly 6 as well. Could of got better corner advise to ease up the following rounds and go again in 10 to 12. Some of the calls from the ref where pretty biased for mayweather from the beginning.
it absolutely baffles me how many people believe Floyd took this fight seriously lol everybody truly believes mcgregor gave Floyd on of his hardest fights ever, when in reality Floyd just walked him down all night and waited for Conor to gas out as he always does. if you know ANYTHING about boxing you can see this is not the Floyd that went 50-0. his style of fighting has changed since he retired, he just shells up and counters and picks his opponents apart. this is not the Floyd that gave a boxing clinic to Canelo. Floyd fought this fight to please the fans, you didn't see him change levels, or give Conor different looks and styles, you didn't even see the Philly shell. this was Floyd toying with mcgegror all night lol all these UFC fans mad their trophy of a fighter got his ass beat and clowned for 10 rounds
@Footb_All111 No you are definitely biased and know nothing about boxing lol conor got played with and thats just a fact,.you're giving conor far more credit than he deserves
How? This was a one off, and boxing is an inferior sport now. It's like that one time Jordan quit basketball to play minor league baseball. In other words... No one gives a s***.
@@prabhatsingha1420 Definitely not. When I trained kickboxing I also did sparring with a friend who trained boxing. It was easy to eliminate the impulse to kick.
Bro it's about boxing and Floyd it's just a professional boxer not a fighter wtf are you talking about😂 Even a random man on the street could beat him up.. that's is not the point.
I've watched this fight maybe a dozen times and the more I watch it the more I've realized Mayweather was absolutely trying show he didn't even need the vast the majority of his actual boxing skills to win. I mean all his doing is marching McGregor down with a high guard and progressively putting a pace on him and he's still winning easily. It's remarkable how he tune skill way down to match and carry his opponent.
What kind of fight is stopped before the opponent hits the floor? Why have a count at all, let the ref decide when he had enough. The beauty of boxing is in its simplicity. If the man cannot not lift himself to standing postion after falling ,the win is clear .
Conor was out on his feet he was already done before the ref stepped in, the 9th round was the real end. After that 9th he was just taking unnecessary damage not even putting up his guard. Had he gotten dropped it probably would've damaged his health.
If you think stoppages are as simple as someone hitting the floor and not getting up then you don't watch or understand the sport as much as you claim. There are times when people are completely out on their feet and need to be saved
I dont care what anyone says, the image of Conor being introd in the boxing ring with two ufc belts being held up behind him is one of the coolest images in fight sports ever for me
@@AlexisGaming-tp7bkboring..boxing i used to know it's more violence,..agresif..not running away...so boring.. that's why floyd never ever be a legend like mike tyson and mohammad ali. they are not coward. running away the ring
Mayweather walked him down and stayed in front of him the whole fight wtf.... and the name of the agme in boxing is hit and not get hit, BY USING YOUR LEGS. you can't run in a square ring, you can only move, and Floyd was a master. His resume is INSANE, he beat every top notch fighter in every weight class he fought, including a bigger stronger canelo....
I agree the ref was bias Conor was robbed in this fight he hit Floyd with a perfect body shot 9th round ref then came in and stopped conor tko finish and gave Floyd time to recover Floyd has never been hurt like that in his entire career only Conor was able to hurt him Conor won this fight by tko finish 9th round
Early stoppage. Fr tho how crazy is it that if Conor could’ve went without getting finished or 10-8 last 2 rds he would’ve handed Floyd his first loss… 1,2,3,4,5,7&8 were Conor’s Floyd won rd 6 then 9 and “stoppage” in 10.. I’m almost sure Floyd would’ve finished him in the last 2 but if not and if not for the early stoppage which it was warranted or not it was early Conor would’ve won. But it’s his fault he thought he was to big and didn’t push to the limits. When he got tired he quit. Great thing about Floyd is it’s not just phenomenal talent and skill he does what he’s supposed to do. HARD WORK Floyd puts in the hard work even with all that money and fame still waking up in silk sheets running pads drills healthy doing the right thing. Floyd was barely breathing dawg. Conor was breathing bad by 2nd or 3rd rd.
Eh, not really a surprising game plan to let him run himself out in the early rounds and close the show in the later rounds, I think mayweather could have easily won every round but that’s just not his style, Mcgregor held his own, but if mayweather felt any real threat, he would have put those hands on him a lot sooner
@@josephtremonte1872 I halfway agree with you. I do think he wanted to burn him out but I think Floyd found himself in a harder fight than he thought. Floyd does do that to ppl but he doesn’t get touched and he hits ppl when he wants.. you can see the surprise and frustration on his face. Conor was able to hit him and he couldn’t hit Conor. It frustrated him. Conor was to fast to slick and the movements were to weird. Floyd does great against reg boxers you had a guy standing in a karate stance who was piecing him up. He was also hitting Floyd with the same stuff Floyd does to other ppl. Floyd wasn’t ready for it. He was getting Floyd. lol Floyd does great as a counter striker and so does Conor. It I agree that he thought about burning him out but I do believe he was trying to hit and not get hit which is his style and that wasn’t working for him. If Conor has more of a boxing approach stance and all that Conor wouldn’t have won a rd. It’s proven everything Conor tried to be in the pocket with him. Floyd would tear him up. But from range Floyd couldn’t do anything
Mcgregor was not winning the fight lmao he only outlanded Floyd rounds 1-3 after round 4 Floyd was out landing him by lot per round especially round 6-10. He showed no respect to Connor’s power and just kept coming forward
@@Rz-tt9zu I used to think that.. then I just watched the fight again. And no 1-5 was Conor 6 was pretty close but we can give it to Floyd then 7 goes to Conor 8 tide shifted 10 was the end even tho it’s early it was gonna happen
WHAT DID WE LEARN: 1. conor can box better than Floyd 2. Floyd has a bigger gass tank So basically if it would have been a 6 round boxing match ( half a pro fight ) conor beats Floyd at his sport. Put Floyd in Conor sport and he doesn't only lose in half the time he doesn't last half a round. UNBELIEVABLE ! These were the days for combat sports.
Lmao you a mma fanboy or a Mcgregor fanboy. If it was 6 rounds Floyd would be technically sound on that ring. His gameplan was to come forward and let Connor tire out and get the stoppage. There’s even a behind the scenes show about the fight during it happens and you can hear Floyd’s corner tell him to let him tire out. He showed no respect to Connor’s power
connor is the real badass for not keeping his hands against his head 90% of the fight, he just absorbs the damage. floyd just turns around or lowers his head so people cant hit him.
Floyd's idol is "Pretty Boy" Floyd who, like Muhammed Ali, prided himself in his looks. They would do anything to avoid getting hit in the face, and fans appreciated it. So many boxers finish their careers with alien-shaped eye sockets, Cro-Magnon sized brows, and cauliflower ears because they _don't_ lower their heads to avoid strikes. Mayweather, 40 at the time, looks fine. For boxing fans of this weight class, Mayweather's defense is entertainment to be admired.
Holy shit, Connor stepped into Floyd's world and put on a show..he did better than anyone could have imagined..this was a great fight, Connor controlled himself as best as can be expected lmao.
@@noahmendoza7189 Dude McGregor got outclassed easily if you watch Mayweather closely you can actually see he's not even boxing McGregor with any of his actual skill he's even gone flat footed and stood in the pocket with a high guard not throwing to stretch the fight out. Mayweather spent the first 3 rounds barely attacking and then towards the end of the 3rd is when he actually starts to throw meaningful punches this to make it look convincing because the skill gap is so huge. That was intentional not because Mcgregor was doing anything special that Floyd had to worry about other than cheating with rapid punches to the back of the head. Even the shots McGregor did partially land were of no concern to Mayweather.
@@troyphillips6481 you're both delusional, conor fights to finish, he could of easily dragged it out to the end, but he didnt want to win or lose via dec. He left it all in the ring, his a warrior, a real fighter and Thats what you're watching here.

I only watched this once live on tv, I thought Floyd was just toying with him until he decided to end it. I thought Floyd could have ended it anytime he chose, but after this re watch I give coner mad respect. He had Floyd puzzled for a few rounds, and i agree it was an early stoppage...

Much Love everyone... thanks for the upload
Heres the reality of this fight. Mayweather, carried Mcgregor for this fight. Mayweather simply just walked him down, knowing mcgregor cannot fight going backwards. Mayweather pretty much beat mcgregor with just his right lead. Mayweather didn't even used his jab to set Mcgregor. Imagine if he set him up with his Body jabs and right hand, hooks, ect. On this fight Mayweather simply want to take him to deep waters by walking him down and tiring him out and just shoot his lead Rights. On top of that, Mcgregor doesn't know how to punch as a boxer, his body mechanics is used to hitting with 4oz gloves. Mcgregor never sat down on his punches, and mayweather pretty much knew this and just walked through him. Boxing is not as simple as it looks, its complex in its own specialized art.
Nahh the reality is Mayweather try to fight Cono even try to knock him but he is just too weak. Without the bias Vegas, this chicken would be nobody. This fight shows why Mayweather is only good for a show, not a real fighter.
@ Bro your comment sounds like a straight up fanboy bias. Mcgregor got stopped, and if it wasn’t for the referee it would have been worse for him. See the reality is I have no horse in the race and just appreciate fighting as a sport. There’s only one way this fight can end, and that’s Mcgregor losing each and every time when it comes to boxing. Mcgregor has never fought a fight in his back foot. He’s a counterpuncher himself, but never was walked down like mayweather did with him. Mayweather literally just walked him down with a high guard threw single punches and took him to deep waters. Mcgregor was gassed and mayweather knows he’s nothing but a front runner. Shit even in MMA he doesn’t have the gas tank fighting guys his size (remember his first fight with nick diaz?) shit he was done early in the fight with his mouth wide open gasping for air.. You would know this if you actually have stepped in the ring and box.. there’s level to this game. And Mayweather is master boxer who toyed with Mcgregor. Period end of story.
@@edgardoestigoy2451 The reality is, Mayweather is so weak. Almost all rounds won by Mcgregor until he got tired. It just shows how bad of a fighter the chicken is.
I love comments like this when connor only grapples when he absolutely has too. Hes a striker. And mcgregor striking wasnt enough. To beat floyd. This fight wasnt much different than what it wouldve been if it was mma 😂
@@PzShockzboxing isnt all of striking.Mcgregor is a kickboxer and purely boxing he still won alot of exchanges with floyd,when you add kicks he'd kill him
Watching this back after all these years Conor did a lot better than what I remembered. Whether or not Floyd took the early rounds off Conor landed quality shots on one of the greatest boxers ever possibly the greatest ever defensively. All in his first ever professional boxing bout. Amazing, truely amazing.
True! That being said there was only to be 1 winner down the stretch. Floyd's two year lay off at age 40 and Conor being in his prime with a 11 year age & size advantage and the best hand striking in MMA at the time, made this fight more competitive
@@toteknowledge you mentioned all conors advantages but failed to mention that he was not allowed to use 95% of his abilities, of which Floyd has zero answers to. if they allowed conor mcgregor to throw one side a leg kick, it would have been over for floyd. you dont play boxing sure, but any journeyman MMA fighter would mop the floor with even the best boxers ever. even amanda nunes and valentina shevchenko would have floyd washing their socks. if you've never taken a single wrestling class in your life, you would be dead in a second against anyone whos ever been in UFC including CM punk.
No? He was 40 when that fight happened, of Floyd went to the UFC the fight wouldn't even have happened. Only reason it did was because Boxing pays so much more and is more fair ground
not enough money for him 1st of all, second of all you'd be dumb or just a conor fan to watch floyd get ko'd in the first minute of the fight, boxing is better for super fights because its more money grabbing we all know what happens in ufc
@@boino4869floyds gotten beat up plenty of times and all the man does is run from his opponents lmfao believe me we not worried about it. Us with brains know he’d die in the octagon but he wont bc he knows. 😂
Wow. To say this was a "complete mismatch" (it's not hyphened) is disingenuous. Mayweather missed a TON of shots and looked old. Conor came from angles and was doing well by being unorthodox but ultimately his stamina failed him. I love both fighters but this was not a complete mismatch.
@@jasras5003 Too many with an untrained eye this opinion might hold truth. However, It’s the fact mayweather kept walking forward. Hes been boxing for 20 years, he’s seen most if not all of it. Mayweather was having fun, his strategy which was to tire Connor (KNOWING Connor is a 4 rounder) out by making him over exert himself trying to stay busy to stop mayweathers pressure.The shots mayweather threw looked like throw away shots to keep connor busy. Look how it turned out, it’s more than just the punches that goes on inside that ring and the octagon.
@@mijo-kg I get his strategy of tiring him out. However, why was he swinging and missing so much? A lot of his punches missed. Watch the slo-mos. He was actually trying to hit him and missed A TON of shots he should've hit. He was old here, and it showed.
@@jasras5003 Throw away shots where part of the strategy. Connor is obviously dangerous when he’s well energized. Why not walk him down, throw some shots hit or miss to keep him MOVING and busy, so he can tire out. Like I said before it’s more than the punches in the ring or Knees kicks elbows punches in the octagon.
@@jasras5003 Could you say mayweather was playing the defense game like he normally does? Using the ring, his feet, distance deception, hell he barely through his most precious weapon the jab in this fight, looks to me he was the aggressor and for good reason.
This is actually a fun fight to rewatch. Mcgregor was looking for that slip uppercut all night. He landed it twice early and never landed it again. Floyd started playing with his timing and setups for the right hand, and Mcgregor didn't have an answer for it. From there, Floyd showed him the difference in boxing pace vs. Mma pace.
A smaller retired 40 year old mayweather stopped a 29 year old taller younger bigger fighter that ufc fans claimed was in a once in a life time Bruce Lee type of fighter with pin point accuracy. Mayweather stopped him by just walking forward only throwing lower shots anyone that knows how Floyd fights can tell Floyd had no respect for his skills. Floyd had his first ko in ten years at age 40 Andre Berto went the distance with Floyd in his last fight that should tell you something

Wow, finally a HD version. Other one looks like something off the 50’s 😂
I know right that's what I'm thinking. This is the first time I've seen the fight because I refused to watch the other videos
@@rocco_420Same. Idk whats so hard with todays cameras like release the HD footage we know you have it
Floyd's two year lay off at age 40 and Conor being in his prime with a 11 year age & size advantage and the best hand striking in MMA at the time, made this fight more competitive. That being said there was only to be one winner down the stretch!
One thing I always hated about boxing is how the ref will continuously give warnings, at what point is it clear they dont care about warnings and they actually start enforcing the rules? It should be soft warning, hard warning, then point not every round the refs like "okay but next time its going to be an issue"
this is a huge topic lately in mma too, every other fight you'll see blatant fouls and no points being taken
ufc does the same thing
The shove at the end of 5 was so funny lol😂
That uppercut from mcgregor was beauty but Noticed that same uppercut landed less and less as Floyd started changing his entry/exist angles better and using his right hand to shield his chin more
People hate on Conor but that counter uppercut was beatiful. You can clearly see Floyd's approach to the fight change after that. It was like ''Okay, it won't be as easy as I thought it would be but I am still better''.
Agreed, and agreed. Only natural Floyd would calculate it. But yeah, Conor is pretty mind blowing to watch. His precision and footwork is next level.
If Conner would have continued to train he would of made a good boxer
I agree
He could never be elite unless he fixes that cardio.
Possibly but we don’t know for sure. Floyd toyed with him. He could’ve ended it pretty quick if he wanted to.
lol hahaha
@@DizastrousMindsShine No one can imitate Floyd's highly skilled attacks to the body and his highly skilled guard techniques to drain Conor's stamina, so Conor's stamina problem is not that serious
I prefer boxing over MMA, though i watch both. I just love the art of boxing toe to toe. But boxing has not been up to its full potential for a long time. I miss the old days of Foreman, Duran, Holyfield, Lennox, Tyson, Toney, RJJr, and all the other greats. I want to see great boxing again.
Well said
What are you talking about boxing been great last couple years especially since Turki came in. We got Fury vs Usyk and plenty of crazy cards like 5v5, Joshua vs Dubois, Crawford vs Madrimov etc. next week is Beterbiev vs Bivol for undisputed

It was very interesting to watch Floyd fighting a young fighter in his prime who was in a higher weight class, strategically moving forward, receiving punches from his opponent, and attacking his opponent's body to drain his stamina

Honestly speaking, and as an unbiased fan of Mayweather originally, Conor was winning this until the end. And even then, the stoppage was unfair in my opinion.
If you really watched this fight & didn't see floyd was literally tiring him out you're not a real floyd fan at all!
@@SRTHEMI That guy doesn't know shit about boxing if he thinks Connor was dominating this fight...
Unfair stoppage? Conor was literally out on his feet not intelligently defending himself as Mayweather was teeing off on his head
Just cause Conor never fell doesn’t mean he isn’t severely concussed from repeated blows the brain - the ref saved years of life for Conor, he would’ve ended up like Ferguson if he just kept taking punishment
@@SRTHEMI Knowing Floyd's ego, he would never let himself lose 4 rounds with a rookie, Floyd went life and death with Conor because of his rangy counterpunching style
Floyd lost the first 4 rounds, he went life and death with Conor Mgregor, because he is not used to fighting with fighters longer than him and who also know to use distance very well, Floyd was getting outboxed, Floyd's father always said that the punch that Floyd hates the most is a jab against him
That fight was better then I remember
Probably because we've seen so many disappointing exhibition matches since.
Floyd beat the shit out of Mcgregor once he gassed out 😂😂😂😂
Yup that literally what it was
No one can imitate Floyd's highly skilled attacks to the body and his highly skilled guard techniques to drain Conor's stamina, so Conor's stamina problem is not that serious
Took him damn near the whole fight too.
5:11 was fast AF I think Floyd was even like oh shh after
yes actually mcgregor speed here is insane
More like 5:09
6:11 damn those commentators are biased that was a huge uppercut and they didn’t mention it
bro i wouldn't be able to see it either
yeah. its so obvious right away. its why i hated watching boxing. its like Floyd was their boss or something. kinda ruins even this fight a bit.
It wasn’t “huge” what you saw was all motion, no power. Why do you think Mayweather ate it and kept going foward?
What Max is literally the biggest Floyd hater on earth bro wtf you on about?
Still can’t believe, he had the balls to step in the ring and handle business 💯
lol
Not a Mcnuggets fan but he won rounds 1 to 5, possibly 6 as well. Could of got better corner advise to ease up the following rounds and go again in 10 to 12. Some of the calls from the ref where pretty biased for mayweather from the beginning.
it absolutely baffles me how many people believe Floyd took this fight seriously lol everybody truly believes mcgregor gave Floyd on of his hardest fights ever, when in reality Floyd just walked him down all night and waited for Conor to gas out as he always does. if you know ANYTHING about boxing you can see this is not the Floyd that went 50-0. his style of fighting has changed since he retired, he just shells up and counters and picks his opponents apart. this is not the Floyd that gave a boxing clinic to Canelo. Floyd fought this fight to please the fans, you didn't see him change levels, or give Conor different looks and styles, you didn't even see the Philly shell. this was Floyd toying with mcgegror all night lol all these UFC fans mad their trophy of a fighter got his ass beat and clowned for 10 rounds

What
I like how you wrote super fight in the title. This was certainly super to watch
I've watched this fight maybe a dozen times and the more I watch it the more I've realized Mayweather was absolutely trying show he didn't even need the vast the majority of his actual boxing skills to win. I mean all his doing is marching McGregor down with a high guard and progressively putting a pace on him and he's still winning easily. It's remarkable how he tune skill way down to match and carry his opponent.
Actualy no if you see majority of southpaws mayweathers faced he always has a high guard execpt when he faced pacquio an elite southpaw

Now all that's left is for Jake to challenge Connor. 😂
What kind of fight is stopped before the opponent hits the floor? Why have a count at all, let the ref decide when he had enough. The beauty of boxing is in its simplicity. If the man cannot not lift himself to standing postion after falling ,the win is clear .
nah as much as i wanted Conor to win he was getting rocked bad and extremely exhausted. Reff saved his brain.
Conor was out on his feet he was already done before the ref stepped in, the 9th round was the real end. After that 9th he was just taking unnecessary damage not even putting up his guard. Had he gotten dropped it probably would've damaged his health.
If you think stoppages are as simple as someone hitting the floor and not getting up then you don't watch or understand the sport as much as you claim. There are times when people are completely out on their feet and need to be saved
You’ve never been hit it seems. That much hitting at the head without stoppage can cause damage bro
@@iDanny559 The very first punch is as lethal as the very last punch. The count determines when it occurred.

The announcer said"hes about to go!"😂😂😂😂😂😂 money Mayweather 💰 🤑 💸 💲
Early stoppage.
Fr tho how crazy is it that if Conor could’ve went without getting finished or 10-8 last 2 rds he would’ve handed Floyd his first loss…
1,2,3,4,5,7&8 were Conor’s Floyd won rd 6 then 9 and “stoppage” in 10..
I’m almost sure Floyd would’ve finished him in the last 2 but if not and if not for the early stoppage which it was warranted or not it was early Conor would’ve won.
But it’s his fault he thought he was to big and didn’t push to the limits.
When he got tired he quit.
Great thing about Floyd is it’s not just phenomenal talent and skill he does what he’s supposed to do.
HARD WORK Floyd puts in the hard work even with all that money and fame still waking up in silk sheets running pads drills healthy doing the right thing.
Floyd was barely breathing dawg. Conor was breathing bad by 2nd or 3rd rd.
Eh, not really a surprising game plan to let him run himself out in the early rounds and close the show in the later rounds, I think mayweather could have easily won every round but that’s just not his style, Mcgregor held his own, but if mayweather felt any real threat, he would have put those hands on him a lot sooner
@@josephtremonte1872 I halfway agree with you. I do think he wanted to burn him out but I think Floyd found himself in a harder fight than he thought. Floyd does do that to ppl but he doesn’t get touched and he hits ppl when he wants.. you can see the surprise and frustration on his face. Conor was able to hit him and he couldn’t hit Conor. It frustrated him. Conor was to fast to slick and the movements were to weird. Floyd does great against reg boxers you had a guy standing in a karate stance who was piecing him up. He was also hitting Floyd with the same stuff Floyd does to other ppl. Floyd wasn’t ready for it. He was getting Floyd. lol Floyd does great as a counter striker and so does Conor. It I agree that he thought about burning him out but I do believe he was trying to hit and not get hit which is his style and that wasn’t working for him. If Conor has more of a boxing approach stance and all that Conor wouldn’t have won a rd. It’s proven everything Conor tried to be in the pocket with him. Floyd would tear him up. But from range Floyd couldn’t do anything
I agree early stoppage, but he was gonna get KO'd or at the least the 10th,11th and 12th would have bee 10- 8 or 10- 7 rounds for floyd
Mcgregor was not winning the fight lmao he only outlanded Floyd rounds 1-3 after round 4 Floyd was out landing him by lot per round especially round 6-10. He showed no respect to Connor’s power and just kept coming forward
@@Rz-tt9zu I used to think that.. then I just watched the fight again. And no 1-5 was Conor 6 was pretty close but we can give it to Floyd then 7 goes to Conor 8 tide shifted 10 was the end even tho it’s early it was gonna happen
Conners plan of keeping mayweather out of range with the jab was working great but mayweather adjusted like a true professional and got the job done
WHAT DID WE LEARN:
1. conor can box better than Floyd
2. Floyd has a bigger gass tank
So basically if it would have been a 6 round boxing match ( half a pro fight ) conor beats Floyd at his sport.
Put Floyd in Conor sport and he doesn't only lose in half the time he doesn't last half a round.
UNBELIEVABLE !
These were the days for combat sports.
The cope is strong in this one.
Conor Mcgregor gas tank wasn't very good anyway that his weakness when he goes in to deep waters
If it was 6 rounds Floyd woulda been more technical but he played it smart boo hoo
Lmao you a mma fanboy or a Mcgregor fanboy. If it was 6 rounds Floyd would be technically sound on that ring. His gameplan was to come forward and let Connor tire out and get the stoppage. There’s even a behind the scenes show about the fight during it happens and you can hear Floyd’s corner tell him to let him tire out. He showed no respect to Connor’s power
Loss to a 40 year old mayweather Conor is a super middleweight so let’s see how he do with someone in his weight class like plant or canelo
such an early stoppage the more i watch this back
Not early saved him from brain damage and a brutal k.o
That ref was protecting flloyd mayweather way to much
Too not to.
No he wasn't, I've seen multiple 🔨 ✊ on the back of Floyd's head
Quite the opposite. He didn't even let Conor get the beating he deserved.
So true. U can clearly see where the corrupt money goes in all his fights.
maybe if conor would have stopped grabbing and throwing illegal shots he wouldn’t have said shit 🤷♂️
they're evenly matched
connor is the real badass for not keeping his hands against his head 90% of the fight, he just absorbs the damage. floyd just turns around or lowers his head so people cant hit him.
yeah...they call that boxing haha. not really a good strategy to let people tee off on your face
That's called strategy, that's how he went 50 and 0
I mean who's more dumb the one letting themselves get hit or the one dodging 💀
Floyd's idol is "Pretty Boy" Floyd who, like Muhammed Ali, prided himself in his looks. They would do anything to avoid getting hit in the face, and fans appreciated it. So many boxers finish their careers with alien-shaped eye sockets, Cro-Magnon sized brows, and cauliflower ears because they _don't_ lower their heads to avoid strikes. Mayweather, 40 at the time, looks fine. For boxing fans of this weight class, Mayweather's defense is entertainment to be admired.
“he just absorbs the damage” boy shut your stupid ass up. taking unnecessary damage doesn’t make you a badass
Glad to see Brian Kenny learnt a little about the sport of boxing. 👍

@@noahmendoza7189 Dude McGregor got outclassed easily if you watch Mayweather closely you can actually see he's not even boxing McGregor with any of his actual skill he's even gone flat footed and stood in the pocket with a high guard not throwing to stretch the fight out. Mayweather spent the first 3 rounds barely attacking and then towards the end of the 3rd is when he actually starts to throw meaningful punches this to make it look convincing because the skill gap is so huge. That was intentional not because Mcgregor was doing anything special that Floyd had to worry about other than cheating with rapid punches to the back of the head. Even the shots McGregor did partially land were of no concern to Mayweather.

Heres the reality of this fight. Mayweather, carried Mcgregor for this fight. Mayweather simply just walked him down, knowing mcgregor cannot fight going backwards. Mayweather pretty much beat mcgregor with just his right lead.
Mayweather didn't even used his jab to set Mcgregor. Imagine if he set him up with his Body jabs and right hand, hooks, ect. On this fight Mayweather simply want to take him to deep waters by walking him down and tiring him out and just shoot his lead Rights. On top of that, Mcgregor doesn't know how to punch as a boxer, his body mechanics is used to hitting with 4oz gloves. Mcgregor never sat down on his punches, and mayweather pretty much knew this and just walked through him. Boxing is not as simple as it looks, its complex in its own specialized art.
Nahh the reality is Mayweather try to fight Cono even try to knock him but he is just too weak. Without the bias Vegas, this chicken would be nobody. This fight shows why Mayweather is only good for a show, not a real fighter.

Bro your comment sounds like a straight up fanboy bias. Mcgregor got stopped, and if it wasn’t for the referee it would have been worse for him.
See the reality is I have no horse in the race and just appreciate fighting as a sport. There’s only one way this fight can end, and that’s Mcgregor losing each and every time when it comes to boxing. Mcgregor has never fought a fight in his back foot. He’s a counterpuncher himself, but never was walked down like mayweather did with him. Mayweather literally just walked him down with a high guard threw single punches and took him to deep waters. Mcgregor was gassed and mayweather knows he’s nothing but a front runner. Shit even in MMA he doesn’t have the gas tank fighting guys his size (remember his first fight with nick diaz?) shit he was done early in the fight with his mouth wide open gasping for air..

What a complete mis-match. Floyd walked right through McGregors punches. He never fought like this in any other of his pro boxing fights before.
Wow. To say this was a "complete mismatch" (it's not hyphened) is disingenuous. Mayweather missed a TON of shots and looked old. Conor came from angles and was doing well by being unorthodox but ultimately his stamina failed him. I love both fighters but this was not a complete mismatch.
@@jasras5003 Too many with an untrained eye this opinion might hold truth. However, It’s the fact mayweather kept walking forward. Hes been boxing for 20 years, he’s seen most if not all of it. Mayweather was having fun, his strategy which was to tire Connor (KNOWING Connor is a 4 rounder) out by making him over exert himself trying to stay busy to stop mayweathers pressure.The shots mayweather threw looked like throw away shots to keep connor busy. Look how it turned out, it’s more than just the punches that goes on inside that ring and the octagon.
@@mijo-kg I get his strategy of tiring him out. However, why was he swinging and missing so much? A lot of his punches missed. Watch the slo-mos. He was actually trying to hit him and missed A TON of shots he should've hit. He was old here, and it showed.
@@jasras5003 Throw away shots where part of the strategy. Connor is obviously dangerous when he’s well energized. Why not walk him down, throw some shots hit or miss to keep him MOVING and busy, so he can tire out. Like I said before it’s more than the punches in the ring or Knees kicks elbows punches in the octagon.
@@jasras5003 Could you say mayweather was playing the defense game like he normally does? Using the ring, his feet, distance deception, hell he barely through his most precious weapon the jab in this fight, looks to me he was the aggressor and for good reason.
This is actually a fun fight to rewatch. Mcgregor was looking for that slip uppercut all night. He landed it twice early and never landed it again. Floyd started playing with his timing and setups for the right hand, and Mcgregor didn't have an answer for it. From there, Floyd showed him the difference in boxing pace vs. Mma pace.
Floyd was trying not to laugh before the fight even started. He knew it was over
Anyone know what the song playing in the beginning is?
A smaller retired 40 year old mayweather stopped a 29 year old taller younger bigger fighter that ufc fans claimed was in a once in a life time Bruce Lee type of fighter with pin point accuracy. Mayweather stopped him by just walking forward only throwing lower shots anyone that knows how Floyd fights can tell Floyd had no respect for his skills. Floyd had his first ko in ten years at age 40 Andre Berto went the distance with Floyd in his last fight that should tell you something
I mean they called him Bruce Lee because he could also kickbox not just because he's a boxer...
Floyd is also using his elbow 😂
Mcgregor fan boys are forgetting the fact that mayweather is 11 year older than mcgregor! Mayweather was almost 40 during this fight!
40's not old when youve been in shape your whole life, eat right, and continue to stay in shape. 40 for you is knocking on deaths door.
There was more action in the first round of this fight than the entirety of Paul vs Tyson.
What closing music was being used here?
This fight is what made Mike fight Jake 🤦🏽
Oh that ref was paid!
