Fight Fans: Mayweather vs Mcgregor

[Capricorn]

I really enjoyed that Mayweather performance. It was like watching Federer, Messi or AB de Villiers at their best. Just had to appreciate the talent on display. 

 

i guess you didn't see the vid on FB 'proving' mcG was holding back

Not sure if this video is recent or old but still pretty cool.

I hope he's not actually taking it to a laundry? The taxman is vicious.

Do you have a link for that?

Do you have a link for that?

 

i'm behind a firewall, so can't assist atm. the vid surfaced last night, so quite a few folks interested in this whole fight should be sharing it by now, so searching for it might actually work (not a fan of FB search function).

I must admit, it did look like MacGregor was throwing powder puffs!

There is one or two moments in that video where you think to yourself "WTF, moer him" and he doesn't.

 

But to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if there was some fixing. Floyd would give some cash away to ensure his 50-0. Mr "I was broke 4 years ago" who has lost before, doesnt have much to lose by losing in a fight he was expected to lose and making an extra $50m.

Jimmy Abbott, a very ardent Lions rugby supporter also. Had his seat reserved for him, front row on the middle line, two seats empty both sides of the two seats he occupied (at once)

I still look for him whenever the lions are playing at home..... the TV cameras have not shown him for awhile!! Perhaps he threatened to sit on them if they showed him again...

LOL, that's not pulling punches, that's an underprepped fighter gassing and battling to hit his target. Mcgregor hit a WALL in the 6th round, after that he could barely keep his gloves up. It was embarrassing (but entertaining) watching him get get beaten like a red-headed stepchild...

"The ref was in on it too, trying to stop the fight when McGregor wasn't even in that much trouble."

Yeah, that is a tad far fetched.

The lines are certainly blurred with it being both a joint business venture between the two and a sporting fight. When the money is that big it's not hard to imagine the fight coming second.

wow this is still going

[Long Wheel Base]

wow this is still going

Will keep it going till FM comes out of retirement again.

I didnt know where I said I knew anything about the sport, on the contrary, I specifically said I know little about it and all I wanted was for the loud mouthy guy to knee the guy who beats his wife in the ribs. Thats is allowed isn't it?

 

But it seems this thread has turned into fans tuning other fans with neither side being able to appreciate the others positions..... so I'm just playing along.

 

Give yourself some credit Patch... you definitely the biggest box here
