This is just silly, though. And one of the reasons I can't stand McGregor's fans (nor can I stand Mcgregor or Mayweather, but I've already stated that) is exactly this kind of trash talk and backwards reasoning. There is absolutely no reason Mayweather would ever enter a UFC fight, nor did he ever evince any desire to do so. McGregor was the one with the big mouth who claimed being a UFC champ qualified him to challenge the boxing champ.

 

Mayweather has now demonstrated conclusively that there is a vast difference between the two sports, but instead of his fans accepting this and moving on, they are now posting these kinds of messages. 

 

Bah, humbug.

 

Edit. And in my opinion the fight was over in the 7th round, anyway. McGregor stayed standing until the 10th, true, but he stopped being a threat long before that.

Interesting how the the interviewer kept on mentioning 200 and 300 mill and rematch after the match.

Mayweather kept on saying this was his last.... A case of too much 'fake' protesting, but a way to setting the purse goal for a rematch?

There won't be a rematch...by the time McGregor has really learnt how to really box Mayweather will be 50[emoji6]

McGregor did better than I thought I must say, but end of the day it wasn't even close... winning a couple rounds early on means nothing if you are falling into a trap and using up your ammo only to get smashed later on. It's like leading for the first two kilometres in a marathon only to dnf. 

 

With more training and focus though, I reckon McGregor could make a good boxer, his movement is good, he's obviously got the hitting power and his southpaw stance and the way he mixed it up will give lesser boxers a tough time. Probably too late in the day for that path though.

Good summary.

 

McG spend most of his energy hitting Mayweather's gloves - Mayweather is tough to hit on skin!

Then he started gassing and Mayweather went to town - pretty formulaic.

 

Not protecting your head may be forgiveable in MMA but in boxing it's suicide...

From what I saw when he was still fresh in the early rounds, his hand speed is too slow, and his reach too short to become a world class boxer.

 

But that is just my assessment.

Ja I thought most of his punches lacked power - more like slaps than punches.

McGregor has terribly bad habits he picked up in UFC that caused him great difficulty in this match, the glaring one being him not keeping his hands up and elbows closed.

 

He was open to the face and body from the get go, Mayweather toyed with this guy according to the script, keep him alive to round 10!
