This was a win/win for Connor. Money + Recognition.
Also a win/win for Mayweather: 50-0, not many can say that.
I just wish Mayweather wasn't a habitual abuser of women, I would like to like him because of his incredible skill, but I can't.

I thought it would go the distance and Money would win by unanimous decision. I also thought the ref stopped it to soon. He was gonna go but he made 30 million to fight.

Now that this is over, it's time for the real fight of the year next month. If you guys want to see a real fight check out GGG vs Canelo, these guys throw with bad intentions and is almost guaranteed to be exciting. I could see Canelo trying to box but Golovkin will bring the pressure and Canelo will have to throw with power to get his respect. This won't be like Mayweather-Canelo where they're both boxing ,which was a big mistake on Canelo's part. And they're both in their prime, should be great!

I'm looking forward to this one as well. I think Canelo wins by decision.

GGG vs Canelo wasn't the toe to toe fight I expected but it was still a very good fight. I thought GGG probably deserved the nod even with the slow start because of his nonstop pressure and Canelo's slower middle rounds but he did impress me coming back strong the last few rounds. Shame for the judge who had it 118-110, she should be blacklisted forever. I think if GGG went to the body instead of headhunting he could've maybe stopped Canelo late since he seems to struggle at times with stamina. Seems the crowd was on GGG's side after the fight since Saul seemed a little bitter too lol.

Such a crooked sport. A tie, really? Sounds like greed, rematch time.

A draw isn't bad, it was a very close fight. Canelo started better, faded in the mid rounds and came back strong the last 3 rounds. I could see a draw although I had GGG winning, but yes the one judge is clearly corrupt as there's no way you could argue Canelo won 10 rounds.

What's sad is the fans are turning against Canelo for that scorecard even if he has nothing to do with it. He shows up and fights and I thought he did very well except for the mid rounds where he'd only fight in short spurts. He was the matador to the bull and did good making GGG miss a lot of his power punches while landing clean shots. It was more Leonard-Hagler than Hagler-Hearns but I'm glad we're at least getting a rematch to settle the score.

And lol at people saying Canelo was running, he's never been a pure pressure fighter and more of a counter puncher. GGG definitely has a more "Mexican" style.

McGregor was out of energy and taking a pounding when the ref stopped it. I think the ref did the right thing in stopping the fight when he did.

McGregor did say afterwards, words to the effect of, he could have continued taking a pounding, as that's the kind of fighter he is.
To me that isn't finding, that's simply having an ability to take punishment
