[Oberyn]

I'm for Canelo Alvarez, the ginger mexican.

Glorious Kazakhstan doesn't know the sting of defeat  It will be a bloody fight for sure, someone is bound to get knocked out, they both have very high KO streaks.

Nobody is going to listen to Senior talk for eight minutes. Or rather, attempt to talk.

McGregor would have been put to sleep in 1-2 rounds vs any slugger type boxer like Canelo or GGG. Mayweather isn't really known for his offense and he still stopped him early.

Mayweather was the worst possible opponent for McGregor. He's dangerous early but he fades fast. A defensive genius is literally his kryptonite. Slugger type boxers like Canelo and GGG are his ideal opponents. He's not going to sleep in 1-2 when he can out-counter Floyd himself in the first round. Of course if he gasses against GGG/Canelo then the finish is going to be a lot uglier than what Floyd delivered.

McGregor's defense was not natural to boxing. Mayweather saw this and was able to walk through his guard taking little to no punishment and TKO'd him. That type of flawed defense would go horribly wrong against a slugger. I didn't expect McGregor to win so I wasn't really surprised, crossing into a totally different sport put him at a huge disadvantage, I just didn't expect him to lose as badly as he did, he barely won one round. It was also a bad idea for him to fight with 8oz gloves, I think that hurt him more.

He was only able to walk McGregor down once McGregor gassed.

He won 3-5 rounds. Showtime had him neck-and-neck with Mayweather before the TKO. He did incredibly well especially considering Mayweather abused the boxing rules to the hilt.

If you expected him to win more than 5 rounds then you've really got no clue, and if you think he "lost badly" then you also have no clue. There's a reason why boxing legends are saying the fight was competitive, and they know a bit more than you do.

No, I think you're seeing only what you want to see because you are tunnel visioned by your fanboyism. And lol @ McGregor having a chance vs Golovkin or Alvarez.

Mayweather is in his 40's lol, but they say boxing is more physically demanding than mma stamina-wise.

LOL try 5x5 minute rounds of mma.  Nothing is more physically demanding than wrestling or Jiu Jitsu.

Watch at 37 seconds lol. Well MMA tends to be more about bursts and fights tend to be shorter. It takes a special kind of conditioning to last 12 rounds and stay active all 12 rounds. It's like comparing cross country vs sprinters.

Let's not act like Mcgregor didn't break rules by performing illegal moves multiple times during the match. Shit happens, rules get broken and abused. They both fought well at the end of the day.

Then why was McGregor knackered after 3 much shorter rounds?

He gets knackered after 7-8 minutes of MMA as well.

[Beauchamp]
