They landed less but landed more efficiently overall imo. Most of Conor's shots were glancing or had minimal impact. He had two or three pretty good punches in the fight but nothing remarkable. Conor's ability to land came mostly from Floyd actively being less defensive and intentionally reducing his output. By taking off the first three rounds Floyd and pushing forward he ensured that Conor would burn himself out.Bro - you are joking or trolling, right? Berto and Pac did better than Conor? You fa real fa real right now? It's hard to tell when people are being serious about this fight or trolling?
Conor put forward a great effort and did better than I expected. He earned some respect from me with that.
However, his plan was horrible, he allowed himself to completely fall into Floyd's trap right away, his punches were overall inefficient/ineffective, and his defense was almost nonexistent. In the first three rounds it appeared that Floyd had some issues adjusting but even then he was never hurt or in any actual trouble.
With Pac it was clear that Floyd was very threatened by his ability and took no risks. In this fight he was comfortable enough to take any risk necessary with no real concern for defense.
Like I said I was very impressed with Conor. I just think people are letting their bias influence how they view this performance. He made a lot of mistakes in his plan and technique. He landed but not very cleanly or significant (excluding 2-3 punches) plus he fouled Floyd a lot. He did well but he was never giving Floyd more trouble than Pac or Berto.
