What ended up happening in the fight? Mayweather hosed around with McGregor until the Irish bastard got tired in the 6th then just laid into until the ref stopped the fight?

Floyd took four rounds off at the beginning and Conor gassed, then Floyd beat him up for a while. McGregor landed a few punches so good for him.

BlindSite posted:

Please don't be a retard and say mayweather toyed with McGregor.

He fights defensively for the first few rounds in all of his fights true enough but Mcgregor definitely found his home for his left and was hitting him way more than was in his [Floyd's] game plan.

Conors round wins were legit.

Floyd definitely wasn't trying to win those rounds though. He threw like 8 punches.

Mayweather always coasts early to find patterns to exploit.

If he loses rounds he doesn't give a gently caress.

This is different to deliberately letting conor land hard shots.

I think it's great how Conor landed a single significant uppercut and that's turned into him having Floyd on the ropes

I wasn't too surprised. He struggles past 15 minutes.

The funnier thing was the bias of the commentators calling conor dirty but ignoring Floyd trying to throw elbows three or four times.

You get that a guy fighting defensively and his opponent being able to capitalise to their surprise is what happened right?

Suggesting Floyd was happy to eat a tight right hook and straight left as is was all part of the plan is legitimately stupid.

Pacqiao and Berto didnt catch him as cleanly as Conor did inspite of Floyd doing his thing in the early rounds.

I've been drunk playing Madden and hoping my luck in mostly high ground lasts. I come from Louisiana and I'll still never be used to floods but I've hit the point of "welp, can't leave without maybe dying in my car, if I flood I flood".

Also watched the saints wreck the Texans, which leaves me conflicted, and saw McGregor get rocked which made me laugh. Disaster breeds deep emotions.

It was alright.

The good: trimmed out a lot of extraneous bullshit. Ryuk's more actively evil characterization and looks really slick.

The bad: Light is a paunchy dweeb. "L" as an antagonist doesn't entirely work because Light is a dumbass and they're not evenly matched.
