Mayweather vs. McGregor

[Humblefish]

Anybody else watching this? It's pretty unbelievable what's happening.

It's hard to tell whats really happening here: Is Mayweather just playing around, or is Connor really giving him this much trouble? Maybe Mayweather was told to make sure it at least looks like a good fight. :confused:

And just like that Mayweather looks to be regaining control...

Was a decent fight. In boxing, stamina always wins. MacGregor did well but faded towards the end.

Either:

• Mayweather was pacing himself early on, trying to figure McGregor out and not underestimate him.
  
• Mayweather was told to make the fight look good and didn't want to beat McGregor too soon.

McGregor came out aggressive, but clearly gave it everything he had early on and was completely exhausted by the 10th round. Mayweather was slapping him around good near the end of the fight.

Most likely just underestimating the conditioning required to box at length. I know whenever I watch UFC fights the deeper into the rounds the more heavy breathing and body weight is used rather than relying on cardio conditioning.
