Huge moral victory for MacGregor.

By the way Capps, I'm watching episode 1 of the Deuce. Its pretty good so far! Check that shit out when you have a chance bro. I want to see what you think. GoT season finale tomorrow!StCapps wrote:Floyd was turning his back and running at times, he looked shot in there. Thankfully he was only fighting Conor MacGregor. That was pretty entertaining, way more exciting than I thought it would be.

He lost the rounds he tried to be overly defensive in, which is why he switched it up.Hanarchy Montanarchy wrote:I honestly thought it was going to go to decision. I'm glad that Mayweather decided to turn up the pressure instead of spending the whole fight slipping.
Indeed. Energy efficiency was the big key, and even if Conor was going to make it close, it was always going to be his undoing. He's never had the best cardio, and he slowed down right around when I expected him to, I was surprised he made it out of the ninth.Hanarchy Montanarchy wrote:I get the feeling that Floyd sort of tricked Conor into thinking he was doing better than he actually was by phoning in the first handful of rounds.

Props to StCapps for predicting the lack of film on McGregor played a role.

Mayweather put worse hurt on women than he did on McGregor.
Now that he's retired from fighting in the ring, I bet he'll still be defending himself in court.

Its a moral victory for MMA as well because Conor did not look like the boxing amateur he is and we all know what would happen to Floyd in the OctagonStCapps wrote:His jab looked real nice, never seen him jab like that before, and to bust it out against Mayweather, damn that's impressive.

I would love to see these type of events be 2 part events. Boxing then the Octagon.

On December 31, 2010, Nagashima took part in a "mixed rules" bout against judo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu expert Shinya Aoki at Dynamite!! 2010, the annual New Year's Eve fight festival. One round was to be held under kickboxing rules and the other under mixed martial arts rules. A coin toss decided that the kickboxing round was to commence first.

Re: International sports bar
Nah Aoki was fine, just knocked out is all. His pride was hurt the most, losing 4 seconds into the MMA round and never getting a chance to grapple. Of course that shit already happened in Japan, lulz, where else?C-Mag wrote:StCapps wrote:C-Mag wrote:
