    McGregor still knows how to throw a punch, so I would call it legitimate. Doesn't mean he will come close to beating Floyd though. 

    I will not be paying $100 to see it. There will be plenty of highlights right after for free.

    IF, and I know it's a big "if," McGregor lands a few of the punches that Pacquiao landed on Mayweather, he's going to hit the canvas.

    McGregor for the KO. Predicting a major upset that doesn't really make any sense and sends shockwaves through the boxing community!

    I hate a TKO ending. Either become acquainted with the canvas or continue. 

    Glad I didn't spend a dime on it. Thank you Periscope.

    I'm a boxing guy and sorry to the hardcore boxing fans, but Connor won anywhere from 2-4 rounds. Problem is, he was dead tired by rounds 4-6.

    Floyd was gonna win this fight regardless, but Connor did better than expected. Connor = not in shape for boxing, but I never doubted Floyd.  If Floyd were younger he would have made quicker work of it.

    Floyd looked like 'The Gimp' when he came walking out.

    They only charged €25 here in Ireland so I set my alarm for 4:45am and watched it in bed. Went pretty much as expected.

    McGregor was better than I expected early on. I thought it was stopped a little early, but Floyd had him regardless. 

    It came down to fitness. Conor landed more than I expected but Floyd is just so fit

    Say what you will, but that was by far the most entertaining Floyd match over witnessed.   Connor did 100x better then I imagined. I didn't expect him to come close to winning a round

    I just read the Floyd made $350M.  Don't know if true but fuck yeah there is gonna be a rematch.  The lead up will be Conner working on his conditioning even though Floyd and Conner are in cahoots... but I will still watch :tongue:

    Very much agree. He won the first 4, at minimum. 

    Floyd is just so smart and fit

    I won't watch a rematch. Boring fight as expected. I won't donate to the Mayweather fund ever again. I don't care if he pulls Mike Tyson out of retirement...I'm not watching. This clown keeps getting the last laugh on the public with his 9 figure paydays. No more for me.

    It wasn't a boring fight. The arena was electric with every exchange in every round.  I hope Triple G can do the same against Alveraz.

    The ONLY reason McGregor even won those rounds is because Floyd didn't throw a punch and was calculating/figuring Connor out.

    IMO, it's a little embarrassing for Mayweather that it went that long and was even that competitive.
    You are supposed to be the GOAT, and you can't finish a first time boxer in the first half of the fight?

    That's not Mayweathers style at all.  He's wayyyyy too smart a boxer for that.

    He's an unbelievably disciplined boxer.

    I guess I can't decide if that's an indictment of the sportsman or the sport.
