Mayweather has money on the 10th?

Connor looking like a man who has had a few too many

McGregor stopped on his feet in the 10th

Can't fault his chin.

Glad that's over, despite how obvious it had become I was still pretty nervy.

Yeah, I was proper nervous at the start.

Stuck 100 on Mayweather by KO as soon as it became apparent he had come looking for the KO. Marched him down with his gloves up, forced him to work, took him apart as soon as he tired.

Ive gotta give McGregor massive credit I gave him the first 3 rounds, Mayweather might have been having a look but for Conor to land some bread and butter shots was well beyond what I predicted, Thank fvck Mayweather he took a liitle longer to go to work than he should've but when he got going he was class, he wasnt even on point tonight but he was still class

Thanks and praise to both men but thank fvck its over

It was typical Mayweather. Just have a look and don't take much, still with him being out the ring a few years and the money I'd put on I was fairly shitting it.

I expected more unorthodoxy from McGregor to be honest, especially early on. Mayweather did what I expected, had a look at him, figured him out and did the job.

The only great moment of that fight was McGregor trying to run across Mayweather to confuse him and Mayweather just clocked him with a hook. I laughed out loud.

I thoroughly enjoyed that too. Like yourself, I thought he'd be trying a lot more of that sort of stuff from the off.

Definitely. I thought that was the chance he had, show him things he'd never seen before. He tried a couple of times to find odd angles but it just didn't work. Can't fault his effort and chin, but Mayweather is just too good.

I thought that was quality

For a guy that essentially took a 3 month crash course in boxing to then step in with an alltime great, McGregor was thoroughly impressive.

He should just retire though, he's a middleweight and would get annihilated vs anyone at world level for a fraction of the purse.

Don't be soft. Far too sloppy. Malignaggi has a good and all he has to do is work the body. Easy win for Paulie, possibly by stoppage.

No chance. Malignaggi is completely washed up and could barely stop a paper bag in his prime. McGregor showed at least enough technical ability vs Floyd to lead me to think he's around British level... factor in that he'd have a huge weight advantage over Malignaggi who has never had any business above 140, it's hard to see how Paulie wins.

Breaking him down to the body. Mayweather left the body after five rounds and McGrefor was breathing out of his arse, a proper sustained attack over ten rounds Paulie breaks him. Paulie has a cracking chin, and is more than good enough to evade Conor's shots.

Must have been awake too long.
I genuinely read that and thought 'why St Patrick's Day? Malignaggi is Italian.'

St Patrick's Day, Madison Square Garden versus Malignaggi fleece the Irish fans one more time for a bigger payday than he could get in MMA...

Given the weight disparity, I'd like to see the same thing in reverse: McGregor versus Ward in UFC.

Ward has about the same level of experience in wrestling as McGregor does in boxing, right?

The general level of boxing knowledge on the guardian is shocking. I've just been arguing with someone about standing eight counts, apparently if you're knocked down and get up at four and the ref counts to 8 its a standing 8'count.
