        Good booking to have Mayweather let Conor have those first few rounds. Overall result makes Conor look tough. I wonder who his next boxing match will be against.

          You know what? I didn't pay for this but it was worth a buy.

          Floyd fought like a fighter who wants respect.
          Conor acquitted himself well, far better than many people expected.

          My stream had lag issues, but from what I saw it was the best Floyd fight in a loong time

            Floyd was going to win, but didn't like the stoppage.

              Conor surprised me a bit in how well he did.

                McGregor is THE man in UFC now. In terms of draw and popularity there is nobody else close to him right now.

                    Because he felt Conor's safety and long term health was in serious jeopardy.

                    I think it was the right call. He wasn't defending himself or throwing punches.

                      It was a very weak stoppage. No previous knockdown. At least let McGregor get knocked down once and see if he gets up.

                        The guy who couldnt beat a Golden Gloves champion just made it 10 rounds with one of the best fighters of all time.

                          I doubt Conor will continue boxing.

                            He wont. He's coming back home unless they get crazy and do a rematch.

                              Stephen A said Floyd didn't look that good.

                                Idunno if he was thinking about longterm health, but he lost his legs for sure and wasn't put his right up anymore, but still, maybe it's just me but I think it was premature, not that he was gonna come back and win the fight, but I'm not used to seeing fights called like that. You see dudes get knocked down over and over and the fight still doesn't get called, Conor was struggling and that was it. It just seemed a little odd to me, maybe I don't watch enough boxing
