To some people on here May vs Mac is a normal boxing match.
As if that’s what happens when you put two men in a ring together. Both are bound to land punches.
Yet personally I have to say I was expecting a humiliating loss with McGregor not being able to land a punch on Mayweather, similar to how MMA fans might remember Griffin vs Silva.
To put how well McGregor did into perspective it’s worth comparing his performance against Mayweather to Robinson’s performance against Hamed.
Robinson is not only an actual pro boxer but a world champion with 7 defences.
By the first round Hamed is dropping his hands to his waist and jutting his chin out. By the second he abandons any kind of fighting stance, drops his hands to his waist and stands completely square on in punching range. In the third round Robinson doesn’t land one punch.
Compared to Mayweather who simply waited for McGregor to get tired.
It was a great performance by McGregor and a pathetic one from Floyd.
