EVANDER HOLYFIELD "REF SHOULD'VE WAITED TIL HE GOT KNOCKED DOWN! HE FOUGHT A GREAT FIGHTER MAN!"

[@ColdDream224]

Nah the stoppage was fine, he wouldn't have made it out that round, I don't want Conor taking unnecessary punishment when I want to see him back in the octagon.

[@danb7601]

honestly hard to say, look at the end of round 3 vs Diaz

[@boogiedownbronxny4214]

Dan B not even close. Mayweather was gonna continue to go body head, it wouldn't have made a difference and he would've possibly gotten concussed

[@FearMilk]

look at the endof diaz 3 and connor was fine rnd 4. awful stoppage

[@djExquiz]

FearMilk boxing for 12 rounds odds different than mma , boxing its much more aerobic than anaerobic compared to mma, Connor was already gassed, trying to get air, on top of that add more shots to the body and head and he might've got serious damage, on top of the overnight weight gain, Connor was spent and Floyd knew it, he just went easier than a younger boxer in his prime would have, but Connor did do pretty well for a non career boxer. His power was overrated but his technique was pretty good (for a beginner/ non career).

[@otresplumbing1255]

My feelings are that the UFC knowing that longer it went the more likely their money maker could be severely punished. They most likely instructed the ref stop it in a sitaution like the 10th rd and not risk Conor getting brain damaged. Which is bulllshit cause the guy and his fanbase talked a Mountain of trash and Floyd shoulda been able to handle his business in that respect.

[@828maori5]

Thats right. Ref stopped the fight too quickly, should of let Floyd continue the barrage of punches and let the losing fighter fall.

[@weelyve60]

"STOP" making excuses clown ass casual.He was about to get sent to the hospital with a brain hemorrhage or a double subdural hematoma you fuckin' casual.

[@tk4609]

Lev Hori, the ref saved him from getting knock out cold, he saved McGregor,s life and the embarrassment

[@JosiahDaPrince]

Lev Hori those right hands were starting to hurt him. When you're that tired punches are gonna hurt a lot more. And they were flush shots too. The ref did a good job stopping it

[@jonesfredrick94]

Lev Hori dude he would've done serious damage he saved McGregor period

[@itsmejordyy859]

Lev Hori well saif

[@wjones8149]

Evander just don't like Mayweather. That's all.

[@elijaharvinger1178]

I think Holyfield is speaking more from experience than hate. He was severely hurt against Foreman and Riddick Bowe and almost out on his feet but came back to make those rounds competitive. But lets be real Conor is no Holyfield . But there are plenty of examples of fighters rocked early in rounds even knocked down who come back to win those rounds . I dont think Conor had it in him tho.

[@glasshalffull8471]

Evander looks Awesome.......Hard to comprehend after the wars he's been in.......Great to see him in such great shape.......Alltime Legendry Fighter and one of the real nice guys of the fight game.

[@BtheOutLIer]

The real deal has a history of going against Mayweather.

[@konkyolife]

I am so happy Evander is healthy and doing well. It's great to see these traditional figther gentlemen, him and Sugar Ray, absolute class.

[@bard1250]

Conor wanted the stoppage. He didnt throw a punch to defend himself in over a minute even though he saw the ref come in and back out 3x before the final stoppage. "protect yourself at all times" was his get out of jail free card.

[@dr.christopherperry5742]

Connors own words were he was prepared to go 12 rounds. He couldn't even keep his arms up after 9.

[@rastafari8459]

The round was stopped when the clock was just under 2 mins. Floyd had plenty of time & momentum to continue that last onslaught. Conor could've still continued being up on his feet, either way he was in no shape to answer the blows he was repeatedly receiving to the head. Conor was visibly dazed & in terrible condition those last few seconds and it's amazing how some seem to be purposefully denying that. The ref no doubt made the right decision. No one who appreciates the sport wants to see fighters getting seriously injured.

[@chuckwhite634]

exactly man it would of looked bad to see him hit the mat he was already dead on his feet he had 2 and a half mins he woulda get knocked out 3 more times and his image would be shreeded they helped his image

[@XlitegamingOfficial]

yeah it was done. conor proved himself to be a challenge but not at that level. they both deserve respect. But ref stoppage or not that fight was over. floyd was still fresh and bringing it. conor is tough so maybe not a knockout but damage not needed. he was gassed.

[@william61286]

The back turner landed one good punch out of 10 he threw in the 10th round it shouldn't have been called no blood was shed no busted lip them punches wasn't fazing him but then again the last 5 may feather fights all black refs go figure

[@deeyannie2339]

Probably because he threw 100 more

[@jimbob7924]

Lee Walker only cos floyd didnt care for conors power or skill set like he did v pacman or any top boxer he faced. Floyd let it be that type of fight. If Floyd wanted to counter n be defensive, you would be calling him boring and accuse him of running etc lol.

[@gfunkmoney06]

That's because Floyd fought differently. He walked Conor down the whole time. He opened himself up to be more offensive, to entertain the fans LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD. Pls, that stat is useless. Floyd never fights like he did last night, and that's because he didn't respect Conor's power.

[@Tubes78]

Lee Walker And none of them worried Floyd. I thought he was a hard hitter?

[@johnSmith-qp1rx]

All of these boxing guys have been so up their own asses and talking so much shit about Conor this whole time, but I've got allot more respect for Holyfield now though. He's been way more realistic and fair about the whole thing and gives credit where it's due. Disappointed in the stoppage but never the less a great fucking fight!

[@13Doses]

Lol Conor did better than a lot of the boxers Mayweather faced. Landed more punches than Pacquiao did.

[@gfunkmoney06]

Floyd almost never fights the way he did last night. He did it for 3 reasons: 1) didn't respect Conor's power. 2) He said he'd be more offensive and walk Conor down. It was all part of the plan from weeks back. Watch his interviews. 3) He did it to give the fans what they wanted to see. He wanted to go out with a bang and shut up critics who claim he's a boring fighter.

[@rastafari8459]

Conor only accomplished in exhausting himself out with most of those punches, which weren't even doing any damage to Floyd. Floyd was the smarter fighter and Floyd was the one landing the harder punches.

[@memyselfandx]

gfunkmoney06 I was gonna reply before I saw your post. I couldn't have put it better than you did. You are absolutely spot on. 👍

[@IParnacio]

J'onn J'onzz Conor is lucky that he wasn't fighting pac. Pac would have made his face like a hamburger 👊🏽

[@christiankalala840]

J'onn J'onzz how did he land more punches than Pacman who went 12 rounds? Most of his punches thrown didn't land look at the landing percentage. And at the end of the day Mayweather said it was going to be a brawl. He didn't fight defensive he just kept attacking and Conor failed to make it a good brawl. He was weak.

[@lameshahale2990]

[@Bagz45]

illa_boy Thank you sir!!!

[@xSwesnipEx]

He had no power in his punches, at all. It showed a lot both in how FMJ reacted to the punches and how he didn't fear nor back off from them. He also said that after winning the fight. Conor was lacking in both stamina and power compared to many other FMJ opponents.

[@akayourmommasdaddy]

Illa_boy Yeah back to the sport where he would murder floyd inside 1 round with no ref or bending over to save floyd lol. Floyds the best boxer of all time, conor held his own for 6 rounds.. Can't say floyd would hold his own in mma. Illa_boy just a lil bitch who can't give conor any credit

[@jennyvee3746]

The ref did absolutely the right thing by stopping the fight. Conor didn't even have his hands up for over minute, he was gone. Don't listen to this BS, Conor could've got seriously injured if the ref let it go on.

[@karesawarner6296]

jxxlion Indeed

[@XlitegamingOfficial]

there's nothing to complain about with the stoppage. Conor proved he was a soldier and took a fight in Floyd's wheelhouse and made it ten rounds earned one hell of a paycheck. But he gassed and Mayweather is conditioned for that. he was really coming in the tenth. Conor may not have dropped but he would have taken a shit load of unneeded punches because he wouldn't have won unless he knocked Floyd out and he couldn't do that in the first 5 rounds where he needed to.

[@Drpepper1525]

Sean Baron the way the fight was going he would have been knocked out the human brain and head can only take so much punishment

[@krisv1038]

I'm a boxing fan and I still wanted it to keep going. Look at the fight, neither fighter even really looked hurt. McGregor looked gassed, not in pain. Dude is used to getting elbows and knees in his face I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have gotten "seriously injured " from a fighter who isn't and never was known for his power, especially at age 40. If it was gatti or someone like that then there may be danger, but not from Floyd.

[@karesawarner6296]

Kris V Neither the swift nor the strong but the one who ENDURES...That's what counts. No need to kill a man to defeat him. No need to seriously injure to defeat him. He looked gassed and defenseless so he was spared a worse fate. Floyd worked that boy and defeated him by the rules of boxing, demonstrating his superiority, convincingly.

The worst that would of happen is him gettin too tired or losing his balance and falling give him 10 seconds to ketch his breath and he is right back in the fight

[@unbornbum3700]

Mayweather might not be monster puncher but it's obvious he punches waaay harder then mcgregor, he was landing clean power shots at will while mcgregor was already hurt, like i said mayweather might not be a monster puncher but when you got an elite pro boxer punching you in the head at will, it can mess you up in the head a little bit, mcgregor could've gotten a little brain damage

[@maninwater5615]

What do Conor fans think would've happened if they let it continue? Conor was running and hugging, looking up at the clock, bent over on the ropes, he was begging for the fight to be stopped. The ref did him a favor.

[@edwardwhite221]

Connor exceeded his expectations. Mayweather needed 10 rounds and a fast ref to get the win. Greatest? Not even great.

Of course, you would put the 1 up there if he lost to a MMA fighter But only Boxing fans who are casuals believe he deserves to be 50 and 0... Did conor earn that fight by climbing the ranks fighting boxers ? And grinding his way up to be a number 1 contender for which some consider the best pound for pound fighter in boxing Its a fucking joke to consider that 50 and 0 he might as well be 51-0 since he beat his bitch as well!!!

if you were too tired to fight then you shouldn't be allowed to fight. this is professional boxing work on your fucking conditioning that was embarrassing . Floyd wasn't even being defensive he was pushing the pace the entire time yet Conor still missed 75% of his punches

[@WaterDrinkersUnited]

Yeah, it's embarrassing to beat TBE for five rounds in your boxing debut.

[@JosiahDaPrince]

WaterDrinkersUnited mayweather let that guy have those rounds. He could've EASILY outboxed mcgregor but mayweather chose to be the aggressor which allowed himself to be more open to taking shots.

My God was I proud of him. Everyone needs too know that It's not about him losing it's about how far he went too win. So with that said in my book he won this fight.

[@Adenohypophysis0]

I learned 2 things from this whole McGregor-Mayweather debacle: 1) There are more racist blacks than racist whites. 2) TMT-Floyd fans are bragging that their idol "TBE" The Best Boxer EVERRRRR taking 10 rounds to beat a guy with ZERO AMATEUR or Pro boxing experience who is known for having low gas tank and lacks boxing endurance. How can you brag about this win? Not even that, Conor landed more punches in 9 rounds (he didnt actually land any in 10th I think or not that matter) than Canelo, Pac, Gatti, and more pro boxers did in 12 rounds. MORE LANDED PUNCHES IN 9 than all of these pro-boxers did in 12 rounds. lol Give Conor credit, he stepped in to a world he never competed in against the man who controls boxing outside and inside with endurance 10x better than Conor. AND, Conor a 0-1 record made $100+ million in his pro debut ahahhahahahah.

[@lakritixdeschauves6361]

And now it's going to become a controversial fight. I believe that the ref should have let it roll to the very end. I mean, it's how they do it in the movies and they count to 10. WTF! Ain't no TKO in a Rocky movie. But I am serious, should have let it roll. Mayweather isn't Tyson to put an end to Conor's career. Now, it will always be controversial. The fight did go the distance....a biiiiiiiiig distance. And McGregor scored BIG in the first 4 rounds even though the judges gave him only ONE. Controversial fight forever and yet another victory that is not that clean cut for Mayweather, but he doesn't give a f.

[@lakritixdeschauves6361]

Still, should have let it ride to the end, so there is no excuses for anybody. There was 15 seconds left til the end of the round. Mayweather was going for the kill, but was he able to make it happen? McGregor was still on his feet. This was not the amateur category. This was a very prestigious event and the ref should have let it roll. It's not going to be healthy for anybody to have a glimpse of a doubt as to the possible outcome of letting the round roll.

[@christiankalala840]

LA KRITIX DES CHAUVES Mcgregor was on his feet dazed. He was being kept up Mayweather beating him. One moment during tge onslaught ge looked like he wanted to just jump out the ring. In his daze he even looked at the ref for help. This is boxing where every punch you can't defend is a deadly one. We dont want such a great event to turn into a tragedy!

[@dannyirishgreene9309]

Robert C. Christian One other fight..And after 25 mins Conor was done..So how wud hv lasted 9 More minutes???

[@cjpp78ytube]

why should Floyd care? He did his part. He had a strategy, stuck with it and won. He even pushed forward on Conor after taking his best shots and thats unlike Floyd. Its not his fault that you rabid desperate Conor fans just cant accept it.

[@robertbold5807]

The succession of punches weren't being answered by Connor so ref only stepped in to protect him, from serious concussion or worst. If Connor was knocked out cold, after a succession of unanswered blows to the head, I believe the ref would have been heavily criticised! Therefore it left him with little or no choice.

[@copymylink]

Floyd paid the ref.

[@XlitegamingOfficial]

As much as i like conor and don't mayweather. No one was paid off. Mayweather is just a way better boxer this was a fact before the fight. Conor could not hurt him early and that was his only chance. I am sorry to say but Mayweather was taking his shots like they were nothing and just playing with him after the first 3 rounds. he kept coming forward and i think he definitely dragged the fight out to give people a show. Conor would of continued to get lit up if they didn't stop it then. it wasn't like floyd was hurt at all or slowing down.

anthony joshua aged at 27 years nearly got beat by wladimir klitschko at age 41 in round 6 and they are both boxers... age doesnt really matter (unless of course your above 50 or something). Hats off to conor he is used to different styles of rounds and fighting in MMA and he moved into the boxing side to take on floyd, only having 3 months to train. With only 3 months to train to take on the greatest boxer, i mean he did an amazing job no matter if your a fan of mcgregor or not, especially in those first 3 rounds. Huge respect honestly. I do wish the referee kept it going, you never know what could of happened, i mean anthony joshua was wobbling in round 6 of that fight but all of a sudden recovered the next rounds... either way good fight, both of them came out winners in my opinion. Always remember if this was all flipped around and mayweather came to MMA then of course that would of been a different situation definitely... they are both amazing fighters at what they do, conor just attempted to push himself even further and step out of his comfort zone entirely, he may have not won but he surely has learnt and taken from this. Moral of the story is, fans... chill, relax, and have a mcgregor whiskey ;)

[@tonyhybo8597]

The fight was honestly over by the 7th round. After that Connor looked lost, his legs were dragging, his shots were slow and sloppy it was done. Holyfield is just from a different era when referees would just stand by while the fighter would get brain damage, just look at those old boxing matches if you dont believe me. That shit doesnt fly today in prof boxing.

[@espinozafn]

Connors debut was awesome. He didn't come through on his prediction but he still gave the fans a performance. Floyd is the Greatest in Boxing and Connor is the Greatest in MMA. This fight will be talked about for years. Definitely witnessed history.

[@LeoInterHyenaem]

I concur. Must have been a proper knockout. Or at least a knockdown.

[@reviewthecheapest]

This is one of the reasons why boxing is so boring and is losing popularity compared to MMA. The stopages are ridiculous. The guy isn't knocked down yet and they stop the fight. In MMA a guy can be knocked down multiple times and they can still let it flow until he is unconscious, giving him the chance to win (which has happened multiple times).

[@delmarfo]

I get the impression a lot of fighters, especially the legends, secretly wanted Floyd to lose out of jealousy.

[@les3316]

Funny head butt master talking about the popping on back of head lol

[@rickyrandhawa1619]

anyone else notice the guy at 1:18 talking about how he's going to use his winnings for child support?

[@Jabzor]

Conor just had the best sparring session of his career and this will do plenty of good for his MMA game and the game of MMA in general

[@askingwhyisfree7436]

it's funny how people argue about people who don't give a single fuck about them. It's the money not you.

[@drew9312]

Well said Evander- legend!

[@blindthief]

Ref did give him a chance. He let Mcg come out for the 10th. Mcg was getting his head bounced around in the 9th which could be a 10-8 rd depending on how you score.

[@MtZaba]

"It different" - every boxing person

[@DanielJeanBaptiste]

The ref saved Mc Conor's from brain damage, he was on his way down. Holy did not know what an asterisk is, but he faked his way to an answer.

[@tom11zz884]

Holyfield always looks for a opportunity to throw shade at Mayweather, which I can't seem to understand. Maybe it is because Mayweather was smart enough to make a lot of money, invest it in good things, and is able to retire on his own terms and is not punch drunk like Holyfield

[@mynamesjeffhardly]

I thought it was an early stoppage because if you look at Floyd's last few punches I believe they missed right before the ref called it but Conor was just surviving the round. Floyd is an amazing athlete and I can't take anything from him but Vegas and boxing is in his back pocket.

[@jasonstyles2798]

Finally the first guy to say what my first reactions were, seriously it was the richest fight in history and they both said someone's head was gonna hit the canvas well..... bullshit it shouldn't have been stopped people say it's still a knockout well TECHNICALLY not I hate the fact that it got stopped I agree Conor McGregor had got stunned pretty bad and was slowly losing more and more balance but I think they should've given him a chance and kept the fight going until the end or a physical knock out

[@scottwitkowski1298]

Mac was out of gas. At that moment he couldn't defend himself within the rules. Good stoppage by ref.

[@DaFoxxx28]

Conor, height advantage, reach advantage, active fighter, age advantage, sorry, but this fight counts 50-0

[@ZerikMarves]

THERE WAS 1:55 LEFT IN THE 10TH ROUND...Let that sink in.

[@madhousebaby]

Real G

[@buddahreapa4330]

Mcnugget is going to dominate the UFC for sure now he has doubled his stamina and striking ability and more, to go along with his UFC talents.

[@twanniegodfirst8424]

That'was a Good fight maywhaether vs McGregor real 💯champions'💯

[@MrValley1982]

Yea... the ref should've waited till your ear was completely chewed up...

[@cyrilpoti3857]

McGregor was the favourite so he got pampered and saved by the referee

[@GunCollector007]

Class act

[@rodneyp4491]

No we don't need anymore fighters having brain damage because of that old school mentality of let a fighter get beat down before stopping a fight. That was a good stoppage.

[@--..--.-.]

Connor asked for it....AND HE GOT IT! TKO!

[@MrKostol]

Both earn more than 100 million Dollars, so they are gladiators now, no usual fighters, who can be replaced easily, that's why the fight was stopped - for the rematch.

[@xXPetaByteXx]

Conor has a bright future ahead of him, he is still 29...we cant risk tissue damage for just 1 fight

[@UngoyPrime]

It's funny how Connor fans keeps saying But he landed more punches than Pacman, but the thing is that the majority of his "Connor" punches had no power behind it to the extent that Floyd didn't even bother "Hugging" Connor after each engagement. Like how Floyd fought Pacman. Also those hammer fist blows and rabbit punches from the rear are dirty and how he's constantly trying to take Floyd's back to ascertain a "Dominant position" in MMA was his excuses was instinctual. In truth was the best way for him to avoid getting countered while going on the offensive.

[@KhanSharief]

Honestly, I saw many comeback fights in boxing after being beaten, this is the problem with boxing, too many controversy. The referee shouldn't stop the fight earlier and let Mayweather knockdown Mcgregor and get the count started.

[@CeeBarrio1]

the real deal taking some talking pills! he speaks better today than 5 years ago! REAL talk!!

[@matt8863]

A UFC ref was the way to go...It would not have been stopped until Conor was under the canvas..

[@JB-fm4tb]

Yeah the ref should have waited until Tyson went down in their first fight then

[@elsephen]

No ref is going to allow a fight to continue when only one fighter is throwing/landing punches. He couldnt defend himself and had way too much time left. Ref merely saved him the concussions.

[@pattyhays487]

A championship fight getting stopped without even a knockdown??? Weird....
