Apathy

McGregor's strategy busted. If he really was going for the KO early, he didn't get it. Agree that Floyd just let him wear himself out and then got to work. I also thought that McGregor could've worked the body better. He got Floyd in the clench (mostly out of necessity to protect himself from eating more punches) down the stretch... thought instead of taking useless shots & Floyd's head and missing, he could've used that opportunity to throw some hooks at Floyd's ribs. Maybe if he'd used that power to hurt Floyd's body his defense of his head would've opened up a bit.

Still a better fight than Floyd v. Pacquiao. The fact that Pac tore a rotator cuff prior to that fight made it so lame.

Floyd did Floyd. He's a defensive boxer, a counter puncher. He evaluates you for a few rounds, finds your weakness, and attacks it in the latter rounds. He doesn't go for knockouts, he's a technical guy who wears you down. He let Connor show his hand and then schooled him. Floyd is probably the best defensive boxer in history, I refuse to call him the best p4p ever.

Connor may not have been knocked down, but if that went another 10 or 20 seconds he's on the mat and counting sheep. Floyd is old, anyone who watched boxing or him could see a difference, but he is still in incredible shape.

Technically speaking, Mayweather won every round after round three. I guess McGregor can claim a moral victory if he wants, but that seems unfair to Mayweather, almost as if Mayweather is some heavyweight that goes for KO's in the early rounds. That's not the way he fights. A lot of the so-called boxing 'purists' I was read from before the fight expected it to go almost exactly like it did.
