    Conor did better than I thought he would.

    That's not how boxing works. He was getting blasted and was staggering and defenseless. I have no problem with it being called.

    Conor was gassed. If he wasn't it would gone all 12 rounds, but he still would've lost on points.

    Easy win for Floyd.

    Connor blew his load in the first few rounds and was gassed the rest of the way.

    He's not used to the stamina it takes to go 12 rounds in boxing.

    One of Floyd greatest traits is his conditioning and he used it to his advantage.

    Connor clearly had nothing left towards the end and was nothing more than a human punching bag for Floyd. Good stop.

    people are gonna want a rematch for sure, but i think it would only be fair in a cage next time around.

    Who cares about a cage? Connor challenged Floyd. Not the other way around.

    Good stop. Conner would've died had it not been stopped.

    For Conor's health, it was certainly better to call the TKO. I'm impressed that he hadn't gone down yet, though. He almost certainly would have been knocked out very soon, and then possibly with worse consequences. Overall, they made it worth watching.

    Floyd wouldn't allow that kinda embarrassment to himself....it would look like the old rousey fights, 15 seconds and game over

    Mayweather is done now, right?

    I don't see him fighting anymore... unless the money is bigger than this one.

    it will be bigger if there is rematch in the ring or cage. conor should train for a year if he is to fight in the ring. he just doesn't have the stamina now.

    He should be.

    He's 40 years old and has nothing left to prove.

    If he does continue he will def catch an L to Terrence Crawford.

    the fact this was very entertaining could very well mean a re-match with many people approving and much $$$.

    Boring

    But I guess that's boxing. Pretty sad when a guy who doesn't box can go 10 rounds with a "legend"

    I'm not really a fighting fan but idk why anyone would watch this garbage over mma
