Respecting fighters is not a reason for Judges not to play it extra safe. I've seen boxing fans still argue that a fight where one fighter got heavy brain damage should've continued because "sports reasons".

I think this Will be a long fight and very monotonous. Mayweather will hit Conor lots and run away a lot. Mcgregor always has a punchers chance and he has dynamite in his left hand. If he lands it we have the upset of the century.

People are overlooking a pretty big advantage McGregor has in age. McGregor is 29 years old and in the prime of his life, whereas Mayweather is 40. It would not surprise me if Mayweather has trouble keeping up with McGregor's stamina, quickness, and strength.

Mayweather is definitely a technically superior boxer, but he's past his prime. I do think he will probably end up winning though, in a very boring ass fight.

If they played it extra safe, anytime anyone was ever put in a choke, the fight would be stopped. Again, it's a fight, there's gonna be some risk.

McGregor is the winner in this fight, not because of his skills but his paycheck. Even a loss is a win for him here.

If McGregor wins I'll consider the Irish 'white' and they can all join the ethnostate

McGregor did better than I expected. Still a mismatch.

Can't help wondering if Floyd is so skilled he controlled the margin of the fight. We'll never know, my guts says maybe, but perhaps I'm doing the Notorious a great disservice.

As Bisbing said, ten years from now people will look back on this Circus and laugh and like Bisbing said, pro Boxers punch a lot harder and take a punch a lot better.

Cain Velasquez's recorded punch is more powerful than any boxer's though.

It is dumb though. McGregor shouldn't have challenged one of the most technically competent boxers of all time in a pure boxing match lol.

I wonder if people like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury (for those not in the know that's Tyson Fury not Mike Tyson) have actually had their punch power recorded. They are much bigger men naturally than Cain.

I voted for Mayweather a few seconds ago. I just have a feeling he will win.

didnt watch the fight. only had to look at this gif of a relaxed and mint-condition mayweather, as expected, winning.
good news: ufc fans can still print out that twitter poll of mcregor winning, and receive one cup of coffee at any 7-11! (+$1.35)

McGregor lasted until the 10th round? Damn, Mayweather sucks.
