Re: Mayweather v McGreggor

Mayweather gave the first 3 rounds away then beat the crap out of him. Fight was a farce.
Mayweather was the boxer, and the fight went one of the two most obvious ways.
McGregor might have got lucky early, but he didn;t, and the minute it went more than 2 or 3 rounds Mayweather was so short as a favourite he was virtually unbackable. He just let McGregor wear himself out, like beginners always do McGregor spent the first few rounds making like an egg beater bashing the hell out of Mayweather's solid defence. Then as those punches slowed Mayweather pick him off with very little damage in return, without making him look like a goose.
McGregor is dead lucky Mayweather wasn't 5 or 10 years younger, he wouldn't have shown McGregor the same respect and things would have got ugly very quickly.
It's a big lesson for the populist fans, good boxers are boxers and within the rules of boxing they'll will nearly always beat a mixed martial arts type.
