‘McGregor wasn’t an easy opponent to box against. He was fast and Floyd respected his punches. Because he was powerful in all of his punches – both with his left and right…
‘I think everyone expected Mayweather to win but personally, I didn’t expect McGregor to be this competitive. Especially in the opening rounds, he produced beautiful boxing.
He followed all the rules. It was very clean boxing.'
You could see after that slip uppercut in the first round Floyd had to respect Conor's counter punching ability, at least early.
The negative sentiment that Conor was getting carried is being overblown by only his biggest detractors, it baffles me a little because Conor made mma look good if anything. He's getting mostly high praise from pro boxers and especially mma fighters.
To the people who love mma and hate Conor McGregor, could you not swallow your pride and accept that he's helping the sport?
