Salty Conor haters are getting saltier

[Ted Williams' head]

I've noticed it a lot over on Sherdog, and I think it's happening over here on a much smaller scale.

Conor haters couldn't wait to see him get embarrassed by Mayweather so everyone could laugh at him. But then the unthinkable happened - Conor put up a respectable fight and his stock has risen tremendously, even in defeat.

So now what do they do? They claim that Floyd let him win the early rounds. That an egomaniac perfectionist like Floyd let Conor punch him 111 times.

Conor will wipe the floor with Paulie, Khabib, Ferguson, and Diaz.

Conor made Floyd his bitch in the early rounds.. The greatest ever had no answer for Conor in those early rounds.
We all knew the issue with Conor's gas tank and when all the fuel was used Floyd hit him with baby shots to win.
Haters gonna hate but Conor made 100 million and now he can do whatever the FOOK he wants .

While I agree with your sentiment I take issue with your conclusion that Floyd didn't let Conor win the early rounds. I'm not saying that Conor didn't do well, suprise Floyd with his power or land some great shots but money was executing his game plan and doing it perfectly.

I understand what op is trying to say, but I feel the it has to do more with people trying to stick it to Conor's casual fans. For the longest time, places like sherdog were a festering cesspool of Conor pole jocking. Not saying it to talk shit, but this is basically what it was like.

I feel that most don't hate Conor so much. It's Conor's casual fans that made people want to see him lose. Not saying it was right; just saying what I think it was.

Not sure if you're trolling, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Conor landed a few good left hands and a good uppercut, but he did not make anyone his bitch.

Im not a Floyd fan in the slightest and I'm more of an mma fan than a boxing fan, but Floyd basically gave those first three rounds away. He threw something like 4 punches in each of those rounds. The moment floyd wanted to turn it up, he did. It was evident at around round six that Conor was fading and back peddling. The way Floyd walked Conor down in the last 2-3 rounds was beautiful to watch. Landed the right hand at will in the last round.

I might get bashed for this, but Conor did as well as he did because Floyd allowed it.

You are correct. Who cares if the trolls reply?

 

[Freeloading Rusty]

I got to laugh at those saying Conor won the early rounds.. Yes, he 'won' the early rounds as he played into Floyd's game plan and got his ass TKO'd.

I was clear, Floyd was never scared of Conor's punching power and in the end controlled the whole fight.

I get he was all about his gameplan, holding out till later rounds and do his thing with Conor. But allowing Conor to box him up like that, taking some hard hits, that is strecthing things a bit. I think Mayweather was suprised by those hits and it took him a whilke to turn the fight around as he had planned. But to say getting hit in the face was a strategy, that is just pure entertainment to me.

And yes, people still have to bitch when he loses. He didn't lose the way they wanted. Hilarious shit.

Mcgregor won the earlier rounds whatever way you want to spin it to discredit the early success he had.

So getting outlanded and outboxed the first 3 rounds is controlling the whole fight?

Exactly they thought Floyd would work Conor from the word go but are now upset that Conor had some success in the fight.

 

[member 3289]

Conor would beat anyone 170 lbs and under in an MMA match and anyone not named FMJ in a boxing match, FACT.

 

[ShakaSway]

You hate McGregor or not, but the man's striking is something or wonders. Maximizes his reach to the fullest, crisp striking the minimizes stamina (when it comes to MMA), and understands/utilizes distance/reach more than others.

But here is a fighter that got paid, cleared out a division(besides Edgar), and rose above the sport as a personality

Wish he would defend one goddamn title at least once, but certaintly optimized his worth and got paid. Many kudos to him for years to come

 

[dacofty]

The only thing I'm sour about from Saturday night is the ref should have backed up and allowed floyd to dismantle the Irish guy. As for the early rounds, that was the plan lol read read and you might learn something

 

[Team Bisping]

Yeah I noticed the all the expected trolls come out to play straight after the fight.

 

[Freeloading Rusty]

Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war.

Floyd executed his game plan almost perfectly and finished Conor. Two round too late according to the Money camp.

It's a little shit talk after the fight. The Floyd fans are getting a little carried away, I mean look at the Snoop comments. The Floyd fans do what they hated about the Conor fans, and their shit smells so much better

 

[Yossarian]

Floyd executed his game plan almost perfectly and finished Conor. Except Conor started hitting him at will. I think that took Floyd by surprise as it did many. I think that is why it took Floyd quite a while longer to gain the momentum back to execute his tactics.

"Sometimes you have to lose the battle to win the war."
Yes, in this case. So that is why it is correct to say, Floyd lost those earlier rounds. But I don;t think he expceted to get boxed up like that, nor do I think THAT was part of the gameplan. No shame in it man, both guys did the best they could, and game to fight, no "defensive" shit. And a little dirty fighting here and there, which Floyd is certainly NO stranger of. It was a lot of fun. But apparently, that was not enough for some to be happy.

Never said his plan was to get punched in the face. His plan involved a fair bit of risk. He stood in the pocket with A high guard. Of course punches were going to get through, but it's not like Floyd was backpeddling desperately trying to get Conor of of him. I mean think about it, Floyd literally backed up onto the ropes 5 seconds into the fight. I remember him baiting Conor in while Floyd was in a corner. And like I said, Floyd stood in the pocket and let Conor get off for about 3 rounds. The moment Floyd started exchanging, is the moment the tide started turning.

I stand by what I said.

I agree with all that you said here. I think Conor's ability to land some of these punches must've surprised Floyd, but with so much experience and expertise, he was never not going to turn that fight around. But as you said, took quite a risk in doing do. Those first rounds he hung back, and then took the fight where he wanted it.
