The excuses are hilarious

I can't tell you how many McGregor fan excuses I've seen and heard, even carrying into today, from social media to in person. On my way to work this morning, I stopped at a local bagel spot to get a coffee and a breakfast sandwich, and the owner was talking about "The fight was fixed. Conor was winning until they stopped it too soon. Yeah, he was getting a bit tired, but he was still on his feet. It was set up for Floyd to win."

I'm sure many of yall have experienced similar.

 

I was relaxed about the before fight, but now I'm like irked with this. I've heard same today.

The uneducated expect a monster knockout artist Floyd to decimate the equal selection man in terms of size. And because Conor does better than their expectation, they think he was winning??

Every Floyd fight he waits and thinks about other man for a while and then takes over. I only had Conor win first two rounds and I knew by end third, this fight lasts as long as Floyd wants to put the great show up.

That's why judges are subjective. Because Conor does better than they led to believe they have him winning?? No this is a shock - he lost easy.

The fight is exactly as most think. Conor is ok level stand up fighter with no discipline ( a great MMA practioner), but serious - no one can believe tmits close and I hear his today also. Takes too long to explain to the laid person, but basically fight is what is was.

If I was chess grandmaster I am not going to beat village champion in five moves, but I will win through ease.

 

Who cares about the excuses. The fight was a sham from the beginning. Both sides have excuses that don't even
Matter.

 

If McGregor didn't lose he would have won.

 

From my experience from the last day or so I haven't heard excuses...I've heard praise for Mayweather and boxing in general

 

Why would Mayweather get praise? He beat someone who wasn't even a boxer?

Once again, it was a sham.

 

i left maybe 10 troll posts on various youtube videos...i woke up with around 470 new emails from youtube alerts cos of the replies

 

Praise from the UFC fans that genuinely thought that McGregor was going to knock him out. Not from boxing fans per se..... you difficult cunt

 

I honestly don't think that there was much praise from UFC fans for Mayweather. I think you may be stretching g the truth a little there.

 

So you think I just made that up for no reason. That's your prerogative

 

The internet is the lost-and-found of idiots. These clowns aren't representative of sports-fans,merely humanity itself.

Think of all of the people who have ever believed horseshit, and then just apply the relevant factor to that of sports fans.

 

Or drawn.

 

REED Gives Floyd Credit for OWNING UP (Finally) to How BORING the Pac Fight was, and Going OUT of his Way to Make this Fight Entertaining...

Our Sport NEEDED Floyd to STOP McGregor, he PROMISED he'd Stop McGregor, Then Went Out of his Way to Do Just That...

Considering How LITTLE Floyd has Cared about Boxing or Boxing Fans in the Past, it was Refreshing to See Him Go Out on an Entertaining Note...




REED

 

So has he made up for his defensive showing in the PAC fight to the point where all is forgiven ?

 

Of Course Not...

Floyd Did JUST Enough in Toooooo Many High Profile PPV Fights, to Be Completely Absolved of Blame, Bruh...

That Being Said, this WAS a Step in the Right Direction...But JUST a Step...

REED Had His Doubts Floyd Would "Do the Right Thing" for BOXING, but he Did, and Deserves a MEASURE of Respect for That...



REED

 

To be quite frank, Floyd shouldn't incur ALL of the blame for the Pac fight. Pac didn't fuckin try.

Mayweather-Pacquiao was essentially the welterweight version of Lewis-Tua. One guy boxing cautiously, not taking any chances, and the other plodding around like a confused idiot.

 

Floyd Deserves the VAST Majority of the Blame, in REED's Opinion....





REED

 

I'm quite critical of Floyd any chance I get, but I don't think Manny gets ENOUGH of the blame.

After awhile, he became what Teddy Atlas calls a "Game Quitter".

 

Yeah, I also feel Pac was content to do his shift in the ring and collect a ridiculous paycheck after. I wouldn't go as far as accusing him of quitting mentally but he certainly didn't look as hungry as he normally did in his prime years. I naively thought that the magnitude of the event would push these cunts to surpass themselves but it was quite the contrary...

 

I was one of the cynics but even I had thought it would have been a better fight than it turned out to be. Far from great but at least better.

 

Any fighter in history that would have had a personal history of epic hand problems would have fought the majority of their fights the way Floyd fought them if they had the ability. Floyd is being penalized unfairly for having the ability to win easily while protecting his hands.

 

Iirc, pbf held pacquiao quite a bit. Even bernstein mentioned it.

 

Pac does deserve some blame for the Mayweather fight as well. By the mid rounds he stopped going for it, and Floyd was content to pot shot, hold, and move for the whole fight. Pac did nothing to impose himself the way he should have.

I haven't heard any excuses yet on McGregor's behalf but I haven't been back to the gym yet. I'm sure something will come out.

 

You Say that as if Floyd HASN'T Taken Hand Injections and Worn PILLOWY Ass Gloves for the Bulk of his Career...

That's a terrible analogy. Pacquiao should and could have done more, but he was coming forward trying to make a fight of it, Floyd was just extremely defensive and avoiding engaging Pacquiao at all costs. Pacquiao still landed an underrated amount, and won 4 rounds.

The blame was on both of them tbh. Pacquiao didn't have anywhere near the relentless aggression needed to beat Floyd, and Floyd was being as defensive as ever and taking no chances.

 

It's amazing they were both content to do so little given the sheer monumentous hype surrounding the fight, and the amount of money they were getting.

I would have thought they'd feel compelled to really give it their all.

 

Conor didn't even make any excuses at all. Just gave Floyd credit.

Conor is the most entertaining trash talker in the game but doesn't run or hide from his loses.

 

4-5 years earlier when the fight was supposed to happen Manny surely would have. I doubt Floyd would done anything differently unless he was forced to.

Problem is by the time the fight came around both were past their primes and pretty much already set financially and legacy wise. The hunger just wasn't there.
