A bigger man with no professional boxing experience, remember boxing is a an art, brute strength is no match for skill and technique.
Exactly, as he proved.

Not emphatically though, Mcgregor nearly lasted the whole 12 rounds.Exactly, as he proved.
It's just a bunch of meat heads. Thick tossers who get thicker with every blow to their empty heads.
I generally live by the creed 'each to their own', but find it embarrassing that so many adults treat this stuff seriously.
But the underlying question here is: Why does that bother you?
Although a lot won't care about boxing until the next hyped up fight comes around, for a fair few (especially younger fans) this will be what sparked their interest and could lead to a lifetimes interest in the sport...you probably got hooked because of a superfight from the past?
This place must be hell for you then mateI agree. Though I also find it annoying and I'm a casual fan! I guess the annoying bit is having people talk as if they know their shit when they really don't. A pub full or Facebook feed of those people can be pretty draining!

What really grinds my gears is the authority some people seem to think their opinions deserve, this place is rife for it.
99.9% of fans of any sport don't really know what they're talking about, and I happily include myself in that, but when you get the constant questioning and ridiculing of people who've been involved in the sport at the very highest level for decades it really is just laughable.
'Thanks Nostradamus, no one could've seen that upset coming'Oye I agree but it still winds me up when people on Facebook post " money money mayweather, told you lot" when these people don't watch the sport etc.
Haha, one lads even taken his shirt off!

He clearly means business, not one to be messed with.Isn't that always the case?

Seriously I worry about the future of humanity with this sort of thing and Trump.
I saw that earlier, Nottingham have a got a weird obsession with pies and pasties, went out with a Notts bird a few years back...they're generally revolting.Could be worse. Could be over a pie...

(The pasties not the women)
After an all nighter on the Vodka and Charlie the bird I was seeing popped out to get us breakfast, I was expecting a Maccies or a bacon roll and she strolled in munching on a fucking cold pasty, the smell of it literally made me sick.The contractors at work are from there and always go out to get a pie.

That was the turning point in the relationship, couldn't look at her the same after that.
A real looker, but that was it for me, she repulsed me after that lol.Sounds like a good girl!
Fair play to Conor for not looking too out of place in a boxing ring. It kind of went as I expected just went longer than I thought. Conor fades after round 2 in UFC so this was actually progress for him. He hit that wall in round 9 after a fast flurry at the start of the round. You could tell the fight was over for him at that point. Mayweather played the fight perfect though. Stayed calm early on and weathered the storm by using his expert defence and drain Conor. I thought Mayweather was really tricky ducking his head a lot and letting McGregor take his back so the ref would separate them. He used his experience well.
I think it just shows why amateur boxers fight less rounds than professional boxers do. Conor needs to fight some more 9 round fights in boxing. Although I doubt we'll see him in boxing again. This was the big money fight but there's nothing else in boxing on that scale at his weight class. Any fight now would be a drop down in competition in the boxing ring. I think he will have earned a lot of respect from boxing and MMA fans alike. To challenge one of the GOAT in his world and get to round 10 (even if Mayweather allowed it to go that far) was impressive.
This for me was a good fight. Better that the Manny fight and better than a lot of other fights with Mayweather.
