Tifa 1,485 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/boxing/2017/08/27/floyd-mayweather-vs-conor-mcgregor-live-round-round-fight-updates/ Round one McGregor is immediately on the attack and unleashes a few body shots. Mayweather sits on the ropes and makes his assessment, covering up. McGregor throws out the right jab into Mayweather's head. The undefeated Mayweather starts to respond after 90 seconds but is wary of getting too close to that left hand, playing peek a boo. Mayweather slips a big left but doesn't take any damage bar one uppercut. McGregor towers over Mayweather. McGregor's start was fine. Maywaether did nothing. Floyd Mayweather- 9 Conor McGregor- 10 Round two McGregor again starts on the front foot backing Maywaether into the corner until he forces his way out. It's very cagey so far, no pun intended. McGregor cracks a right on to Mayweather's chin, shuffles and goes forward again but Mayweather sticks him with two wicked body shots. McGregor doesn't look like a novice at all ... until he grabs Mayweather round the waist and the referee pulls them apart. Floyd Mayweather- 9 Conor McGregor-10 Round three McGregor is looking for the uppercut and the left hook but is not averse to the cuff round the back of the head. Mayweather's timing is not right yet but he is hitting McGregor with body shots and McGregor's mouth is wide open and he is breathing heavily. Floyd Mayweather- 9 Conor McGregor-10 Round four McGregor ramps it up at the beginning of the round again but Mayweather is the master of not getting tagged. He begins to take over, smashing a couple of right hands into McGregor's chin and kidneys. Those vicious body shots are taking a toll on McGregor who is going forward consistently now for the first time in years. He whips a sidewinder of a right hand into McGregor's face and hits him with a left cross. he takes one himself but a great round for the undefeated former champ. Floyd Mayweather- 10 Conor McGregor- 9 Round five Mayweather is clearly enjoying himself, flashing a wink at Carl Froch at ringside. McGregor looks exhausted and Froch says his punches now lack power. Mayweather unleashes a right straight to the cranium then they exchange body shots . Mayweather gives him a shove after the bell to move him out of the way. Floyd Mayweather- 10 Conor McGregor- 9 Round six Mayweather is on the way forward all the time now virtually, upping the power with a burst of body shots to the ribs. McGregor is having to improvise. In truth it's all improvisation. McGregor is sitting behind the jab but his chin is up and vulnerable and he is not landing anything significant on Mayweather. He did turn round and McGregor slapped him round the back of the head but the ref stopped that intrelude quickly. Floyd Mayweather- 10 Conor McGregor- 9 Round seven Better from McGregor circling round Mayweather but his shots have no force. Now it's time for the schooling, hitting him repeatedly with rights into the hip, stomach and face. McGregor is bleeding from the mouth. Carl Froch says he isn't at all impressed by McGregor and expected a lot more. Floyd Mayweather- 10 Conor McGregor- 9 Round eight It's his first fight. He won the first two rounds or was allowed to as Mayweather surveyed the danger, but McGregor has now punched himself out. Mayweather is having the tie of his life, walking forward, cutting off the ring, throwing and landing punches at will. Floyd Mayweather- 10 Conor McGregor- 9 Round nine Mayweather is hit with a body shot that he claims was low. He takes a step backwards now but regroups and targets McGregor's face. His legs are wobbling. This is close to the end now. McGregor is being tagged and falls into the ropes. He's flailing around. Mayweather is looking for the artistic finish. McGregor is spent and is being repeatedly hit with rights to the face. He's got an iron chin but he looks absolutely knackered. Floyd Mayweather- 10 Conor McGregor- 9 Round 10 McGregor is taking too much punishment and the referee steps in. It's over. Mayweather goes 50-0! Mayweather wins by TKO in the 10th He could no longer defend himself and the referee had to end it. Mayweather was hitting him at will, walking towards him, cutting off his space and left him with nowhere to go. He stayed on his feet but his legs had gone and his arms must have felt like lead. Total score: Mayweather- 87 Conor McGregor- 84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghettoe 1,955 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Floyd won, wasn't close either. TKO and if the ref hadn't stopped that, McGregor was definitely going to hit that floor. By the 7th round, McGregor was looking very tired and very sloppy. To be honest, Floyd was the puppeteer here. Gave McGregor the first three rounds as he just moved around and didn't do much, but by the fourth round, we all could see where this was going. On that note, still some respect to McGregor and I think, he himself probably came to respect boxing in a new way today. It all looks so easy and UFC fan boys are forever convinced that UFC is better, but their posterboy was completely exhausted around the 8th round and by the 9th just keeping his arms up was looking difficult. I know for sure though, I respect Conor a little more today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Cupcake 3,584 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 SPOILERS Floyd won. Conor did well during the first 2 rounds, then he started to look exhausted starting in round 3, and it just went downhill from there. Mayweather looked like he wasn't even taking it seriously after the first 2 rounds. Overall, pretty much as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twicebabies 1,868 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 No offense but Floyd's fights are really kinda boring since he's the type to assess and wear out the opponent, you dont really get any action for a while and the first few rounds was hugging and a few nudges. Hope to see a match in the octagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see a match in the octagon I think people are ridiculous with this. You are asking a 40 year old man who has spent his whole career boxing to refresh himself and try the octagon? If Floyd had done a different sport in his youth and was a 28 year old, I would have liked to see that, but at 40, that would just be sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghettoe 1,955 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I feel like the ref deprived us of that KO though. I understand why, but I wanted the haters to shut up for once, but at the very least, I get to waltz into work on monday like, what did I tell you people? There are no magic punches in boxing. It takes effort to break down and knock down an opponent (unless, you have a thor hammer of a fist like Mike Tyson or George Foreman). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yessey 599 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Mayweather toyed with him, he could end it early but choose to bully Conor. Lol TKO because your opponent toying you is worse than KO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaTe.Me 40 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I dont really watch box or UFC but i was really surprised how exhausted mcgregor was in the 7th round. Isnt he suppose to have better cardio as an athlete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByulHarangBona 35,161 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 You might hate how MayWeather play but you have to admit that he is smart in the way he approach his fights. Am not surprised that he won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghettoe 1,955 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 he was the one who said he would smack Mcgregor in the octagon. If they do have a rematch it would be more fair if it was in the octagon Typical sport trash talk that everyone with a brain already knows the outcome of, just as we all knew how this would end. We knew stamina was a problem and we knew he would barely touch Floyd. Plus there's no fairness in a rematch in the Octagon. Unlike McGregor, Floyd has never done any other sport and even worse of, he's 40. His boxing prowess makes people forget that he has managed himself in a way that no other boxer has done. However, a 40 year old man trying to attain skills in a short time in order to fight a 29 year old UFC champion on his turf, this is stupidly predictable and not even exciting. And of course, final point. McGregor only stepped into boxing because of the money. We all know this. He has made in one night an amount he would not have been able to make his whole career in the UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
