Exactly as knowledgeable people predicted.
Exactly as any boxing fan knew.

Stop trying to, "but Mcgreggor lasted/won/whatever"

He got taken to school. He had no conditioning, he couldn't pace himself. He couldn't fight to the rules of the sport.

Just fucking stop. He didn't win the first few rounds in any appreciable way. He gassed out and let Floyd learn whatever he needed.

$Mayweather beat his ass in the most predictable way.

Exactly. I loved it when Mayweather purposefully took that uppercut to the jaw. That's the sort of strategy that separates him from the other boxing greats.

You got that right.

McGregor didn't have the stamina.

McGregor didn't have the technique.

So McGregor got his cocky ass beat.

Mcgregor's counter punching was way better than people gave him credit for. Obviously Floyd dominated overall and gave him the first few rounds to gas him out, but c'mon...Conor did better than most people expected. He actually looked like he'd be competetive if his stamina was better. Even in the later rounds he had a few nice bursts when he caught his breath.

McGregor definitely did better than expected, and he had some nice moments but the fight still exposed him for the amateur that he is. If you can't get through 5 or 6 rounds without being out of stamina, you are not a good boxer and you are not going to win.

McGregor did better than expected, for sure. However, he was exhausted in round 7. There's no way he was going to win without knocking Mayweather out.

McGregor landed about 25% of his punches, which is typical for Mayweather opponents. He was mostly swinging at air.

People keep saying this, I don't know what they hell they're referring to. What "was expected"?
No one thought he would get literally no hits in.
No one the least bit interested in MWs career thought it would be a round 1 ko.

Pretty sure he wanted it to go 12 rounds but was stopped unexpectedly.

Also it was like beating a punching bag after a while.

Most people didn't expect to see Mcgregor land a clean uppercut off of a counter and stun Floyd. Mcgregor had at least a handful of clean punches land that did some damage.

When you have people like Max Kellerman litterally sugest he wouldn't land a single clean punch, I'd say that's better than expected.
