11 years age difference is a lot, but it's not purely fitness, it's the pace and the timing of rounds, length of break, the energy used up in the various movements.. we see it in distance running, when longer distances suit the older, more experienced runners (Mo Farah is turning to Marathon now..).. so Mayweather's body is attuned to this tempo after years of fighting.. McGregor could adapt but I don't think he wants to move away from MMA
Who the **** says it was 5-4?? I think if he hadn't have hit Floyd in the bollocks in the first seconds of the ninth he would have carried the paddy to the last round. That pissed him off. lenient refereeing too, lots of hits to the top of the head and back of the neck. Only goes to show how much skill there is in boxing.
did McGregor's "punches" include the mad flurry of illegal hammer taps he couldnt stop doing .. this fight was fraudulent and boring as hell - that i work nights and got a free HD stream is the only reason i bothered ,
It went exactly as expected, Mayweather gave him a boxing lesson. There were a couple of decent fights on the undercard.
So what was proved is that one of the best boxers ever is better at boxing that somebody who isn't a boxer
It also proved that a lot of people can be hyped into spending money on what was always destined to be a non-event.
There were some decent fights on the undercard and I quite enjoyed the fight itself, I think most people got exactly what they expected for the money.
