You gotta admit he almost had him. He did better than most ppl thought. We had y'all SHOOK rounds 1-3...

No, I don't have to admit he "almost had him" because he never had him. He did exactly as well as most educated people thought he would.

You're doing a great job confirming how little you know about boxing. Keep coping though, can't let your foundation go without its founder.

Thats not what happened.

Just because Floyd won in the end doesn't mean you can delusionally malign what actually took place lol..

When both had energy, Conor was the dominant fighter. Floyd tried to do his counter thing and got uppercutted a good three times before he realized he has to wait for Conor to gas.

You can't tell me the gameplan in Floyds corner was to lose those rope a dope rounds on purpose. He usually does his thing while winning rounds, but Conor shut that part of his game down. (At the expense of not torquing his max velocity on his strikes.)

He wasn't going all out because he was trying to counter Floyds techniques, (which is a testament to how Floyds technique/approach is a problem to boxers) If you go heavy he will make you pay so you're forced to do light and medium only punches.

This would have worked if he had unlimited gas, out-tip-tapping him the whole fight.. but knowing he had gas problems why do this approach? Should have went all in with power and gassed even earlier eating counters but with the chance of a potential win condition to end it.

The way he had the realization at the end "he's just efficient thats it." --No chit. Like did that just dawn on him? Of course Floyds super efficient thats his thing. Didnt they plan on that? And him outlasting Conor?

My God man. Your delusion has reached a whole new level.

Just come to the realization that MW toyed with Conor the entire fight until he decided to end it. It's what 99.9% of the rest of the world saw and you're trying to convince them that the 0.0001% thinks they know exactly how it went down.

Floyd explained in interviews after the fight why he took shots meaning he did exactly what he said he was going to do which was walk him down. Floyd could have ended it literally whenever he wanted to but why do that when he point was to give everyone a show? Yeah, he said he was going to do that too.

Who's "we"?!?

The GOAT is back.

Floyd could have ended it literally whenever he wanted to but

Thats simply not true.

Its quite an overstatement of reality.

One of the things that I wanted to add that confused me about the gameplan:

What exactly was the win condition? There were only 2 options and he went for neither.

1. Win with a power shot
2. Win with edge-lording counters and mirroring floyds style

Instead Conor did a blend of the two while wasting energy doing something that had no win condition.

What I mean is Conor knew from practice he didn't reach the gas tank he needed. (which I was quite shocked/dissapointed by, I would assume they could figure something out due to what was at stake) And yet he still didn't go for the knockout.

So to me, what was happening at first was Conor was NOT using his "power" or trying to go for a devastating blow or setup. He was instead trying to micro tech the fight with skill.

IF Conor had used true power shots he would have left himself open to counters. So the Mayweather element was keeping him from going full power instead he just kept doing pit pat stuff to just out maneuver Floyd. And it worked for awhile, he won the first few rounds like that.

The thing is he had to do that otherwise he would give Floyd a chance to counter, he didn't let him counter and stuffed the attempts when he did try. Which Floyd did try to fight back a bit but Conor countered his counters.

The problem is, he looked decent when not going full power. But that wasn't gonna win the knockout.

So that win condition is gone (I guess that is a testament to Floyd counter skills that you better play safe and not go to hard or you will pay) and that door is closed. No "punchers chance"

The other win condition is to conserve energy and mirror Floyd. Double rope a dope. Try to edge lord him at his own game. Start slow and do just enough. Conserve energy.

Nope, instead he tried to steam roll him with pit pat stuff so he was in no way trying to conserve his battery.

So where was the win condition? Either go all out true power ignoring counters or looking bad and go for a KO, OR conserve energy as much as you can to out last and counter.

Instead he did an ineffective combination of both.

Besides that he was more skilled though. Fighting back in the first rounds was not an option for Floyd, its not like he chose to wait, he was forced to.

Floyd did try to do counters and stuff when Conor was high energy and couldn't exercise his will. His only option was to wait for him to gas.

Which is kinda infuriating that Conor didn't try to use full power at the start as it was his best shot and he bypassed that win condition just to show Floyd can't counter his techniques.

Instead he wasted all his energy which means he was gonna run out of steam and he also wasn't going for a knockout.

Not sure how he was planning to win like that.

welcome back buddy

COPAINE is a hell of a drug.

cope

Floyd's game plan was to let Conor punch himself out in the first few rounds, even if it meant giving up a few rounds. Throwing 6 punches in the 1st round made that really obvious, you really think he couldn't manage to throw more than 6 if he wanted to?

Conor whiffed 80% of his punches even in the first 3 rounds so I fail to see how he was dominant anywhere during the fight. I don't think at any time during the fight, anybody who actually knows a bit about boxing and isn't a complete casual thought that Floyd was ever in trouble. The only hard and clean punch he landed was the uppercut in the first round. Maybe one or two others throughout the match but Floyd was barely phased by those.

Everyone kept talking about oh all it takes is a left from Conor and Floyd has never seen power, precision and movement like Conor's LOL. He has average power in boxing and that is being generous. Even Lightweight's hit harder than Conor who could very well fight at Super Welterweight.

Floyd figures out his opponent's tendencies and proceeds to pick them apart more and more as the rounds went by. Not denying that Conor gassed but nothing Conor really did surprised Floyd overall.

more cope

Lol, nice top tier trolling buddy. "He almost had him". Lol, what kind of mental delusion tactics did you employ to convince yourself of that? Nobody except the extreme casuals who have never seen a boxing fight was ever "shook".

Conor in his fighting prime got TKOed by a 40 year old manlet with brittle hands, at least 15-20 lbs lighter on fight night, cope harder. Even your butt buddy gainzzz admitted he was wrong. The fight went what most people expected, Conor blowing is wad early, gassing out and then getting TKOed in later rounds.


Oh and btw welcome back

[thegreaper]

The easiest money I ever made was betting on Floyd in that fight. Such a no brainer

[300BLK]

Looks like Conor is salty and wants a rematch
