Surely during his camp it would have become clear how many of the twelve rounds he'd be good for. It must also have been obvious that Mayweather was fine for twelve of twelve.
If it was clear that Connor would lose if the fight went on for more than say eight rounds, then surely the only way for him to win would be to target a round earlier than eight and throw everything into it.
At some point in the fourth Conner had Mayweather on the ropes and seemed to poised to unleash yet backed off. For my money that missed opportunity was his best shot at winning.
Obviously Mayweather was likely to win but I'd have liked to see McGregor really take it to him and turn it into a slug fest. Instead he tried to outbox a superbly defensive boxer and negated his own best tool. I wonder if McGregor though he could win a points decision. Lol. Pity.
Well I'm sure he's crying into his $100M as I type this.

Wonder if Mayweather would take Connnor on no holds barred. That is a fight Conner would win. I see a report Connor made 70 million dollars so even though he could not be expected that he would win he appears to have come out injury free and with a lot of boodle in the bank.
The whole thing was ridiculous as is boxing. What sort of pervert goes and watches two oaks beating each others brains out. Very sic k. Never watch it.

It was a money making farce ... and the whole world bought into all the hype.
So sad to see the true gladiator of the ring's record fall to this loudmouth.

Yep DA a PERVERT. Sick people screaming for some dude to be knocked senseless. They pay big bucks for the " pleasure". Nothing good about it. Deaths in the ring, brain damage etc etc. What sort of sick freak enjoys this type of spectacle.

I don't like boxing much, but I follow UFC religiously. Man vs man (or woman vs woman) they can employ whatever type of fighting style they like as long as it is not dirty. They fight and the better fighter wins. Nobody is forcing them to fight, and they get paid decent money to do so. Only Beans can somehow think sanctioned fighting a perversion, but will happily turn a blind eye when priests bugger little boys.

Your language is a bit strong but I understand your point of view Beeno. Combat sports do appeal to some blood lusting part of our caveman brain. Certainly I'm not qualified to answer answer as to whether boxing or MMA are viable in an ethical world.
As Blo says, nobody is forcing fighters into a cage. We don't lop the losers head off. While most fighters don't earn millions, one has to remember that the discipline required to compete has saved many an otherwise criminal from a lowlife existence. That in itself is a reward not only to the individual but also to the larger community.
I'm pro choice, in all things. So for me any individual should able to choose their pois on and deal with the consequences or rewards as they come.
As much as I dislike Mayweather, I rewatched his battle with Ricky Hatton and man he counter punched Hatton into oblivion.
For those of you who want to see a quality boxer with a big future ahead of him...check out Vasyl Lamachenko. Probably my favorite boxer of all time. One highlight feel and you'll be a fan too.
Here...I think CCs gonna enjoy this.https://youtube.com/watch?v=o8V7fmff3_8

Brycy the nz oaks are horizontal fighters . The SA guys produce one champ after another. That does not mean I support the disgusting types who find pleasure in seeing some poor oaks getting his brain bashed about and the canvas covered in blood and some even dying. The crowd baying for blood as the guy winning moves in for the kill etc. Very sick VERY.
Not can old you pervs please just mend your ways and really think about why you love such a thing.Beeno holding up a mirror to some of the pervs here. Hope they don't faint BwahahahahahhahahaAs for priests - they are no more priest than a donkey and the Pope is a wolf in sheeps clothing. I have no respect for those fake priests.

...see what i mean, mention Kevin Skinner and all of a sudden Bean Brain is triggered... instantly he's an expert commentator on the sport of boxing not to mention it's history and has no problem glorifying South African boxers...
Bean Brain that Skinner incident was a long long time ago now .....he flattened a coupla dopey Bok props with a single punch and made a bit of a mess of their faces but thats how front rows sorted things in those days... .you need to let it go mate

One of Seb's favourite movies is The Cinderella Man...Russell Crowe fan too...the film is a true story in the 1930's about a real man, James Braddock who fought his way to save his wife and children from poverty and debt during the Depression ...boxing is a manly sport if the Queenbury rules are applied Beeno...any sport played against the rules and spirit of sportsmanship is to be condemned...the sport itself is not to blame but the abusers...
