Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor

[Cancel 2018.2]

McGregor can't use any MMA style moves, only boxing. So does this prove that MMA fighters are superior to boxers when it comes to an all in all out fight?

Any predictions? I think Mayweather is going to win, since McGregor can only box.

I'm sure there are boxers who study MMA. Boxing is a specific style, and having a blackbelt in jujitsu, kung fu, karate, Muay Thai, FMA, Savat, Tae Kwon Do, etc., isn't an excuse for not being able to win at boxing.

Ha ha it just got delayed because of a streaming issue.

I'm not able to get out to the sports bar, so, I'm just following the ESPN.com live updates.

Well that was over as i predicted. Congrats to Mayweather.

I'm surprised he let it get to the 10th round. Of course, he didn't get to 50-0 by being undisciplined.

I haven't seen the whole fight yet, just the final minutes of the KO and McGregor looked whooped.

I think for the money they were getting, Mayweather let it drag out and then went full "Rocky" on his ass in the 10th.

Boxing lost me and especially Mayweather. I didn't watch this fight but the last time I watched Mayweather it was the most boring fight I ever paid to watch. All the douchebag did was hug the other guy the whole match.

Boxers are superior athletes, and it showed.

They have more stamina and higher cardiovascular.

MMA fighters are brutes, boxing is a sport of precision.

McGregor has some of the fastest hands in all of MMA, but his hands were slower than a 40 year old Mayweather whose age had slowed him down considerably.

Hats off to both, it was a good fight.

Then why didn't Mayweather agree to an MMA fight?

The outcome wasn't to difficult to predict. McGregor is an excellent MMA fighter but his hand and food speed are slow at a championship boxing level. Not to mention he has poor inside boxing technique.

So Mayweather predictably tied him up in clinches and of the ropes and counterpunched until McGregor tired off, then t'd off on McGregor in rds 7 to 10.

What surprised me was McGregors lack of elite level cardio fitness.

In all it was another undwhelming Mayweather win.

Yea...he wins fights the smart way and doesn't take a lot of abuse but he's also boring to watch and he's never really challenged himself by taking on the best of the best at their best. Mayweather is an excellent boxer but I wouldn't compare him to the all time great pound for pound fighters

Agreed...the talent level at the top teir of MMA isn't at the same level as elite championship caliber boxers. I noted that McGregors hand an foot speed were pretty slow by boxing standards.
