The McGregor/Mayweather Fight In A Nutshell

connor gassed as usual, actually had a shot, but if you watch him in the ufc or his most recent loss, same exact thing happened. Ref stopped the fight too early also, was good fight to watch, better the manny vs floyd 

The fight wasn't stopped too early. Connor hadn't thrown a punch in over a minute. He wasn't protecting himself. His hands were at his waist and he stayed up by grabbing Floyd and leaning on the ropes. It was over.

Don't believe the hype. McGregor never had a chance. Floyd was never in any danger. He gave McGregor the first three rounds, feeling him out and not really throwing many punches. In the fourth round, Floyd started going to work, and as the fight went on McGregor gradually weared down. By the end, McGregor was gassed and not throwing any punches, while Floyd was throwing lasers at his head. The ref had no choice but to stop it because McGregor was not fighting. He could have gotten seriously hurt.

Anyone surprised by a boxer winning a boxing match had way to high of expectations. Floyd made over 200 mill selling white racist people on the hope a Irish man could beat a undefeated boxer. Anyone who really follows MMA or boxing knows they are entirely different and don't cross over well. Mayweather was going to be him with experience and hand speed even if they fought 10 times. Connor would kill Mayweather in the cage though and it would be over in minutes.

It's not even that.  All scripted since the beginning from a promotional standpoint.  Those two are now best buds for eternity and made each other so much freaking money.  Mayweather was always going to win; McGregor was either going DQ or exactly how it went.  They were not going to let it go to a true KO.  

Two entities just syphoned 9 figures up the wazoo.

Right. Floyd taking that uppercut to the chin that nearly took him off his feet was part of the plan.

 

His only plan was to let Conor chase him until he fatigued, which began to show in the 5th round. It isn't toying so much as it is strategy. Conor had more hits on Mayweather than Manny in two less rounds. He was also the first since DLH to win the first 3 rounds against Floyd.

So...planned...right. Was an entertaining build up and fight. Conor just doesn't have the technique to outbox a guy like Floyd. He looks like he could be a technician and if he spent a few more years boxing, he could figure out how to get his power involved. Last night, his power didn't come through as he couldn't get in an optimal position to use it; that comes with repetition however and Floyd has been doing it for far longer.

 So under what circumstances would Conor DQ? You think it would be scripted for him to lose the rights to one hundred million because he DQ'ed? Sales in tin foil must have gone way up the past week with all of the conspiracy theories floating around; conspiracy theories exactly like yours.

Last point, Conor is used to taking punches from 4 ounce gloves, elbows, knees, and forearms. Why does everyone believe that a hit from a technical boxer who has never relied on power is what fazed Conor? Dude was gassed, he told the ref he was gassed, and he told the ref he was done when the fight was called.

    • I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
