    Someone should have stopped the fight as soon as it became a horrible idea in a retarded mind. What a fuuckinn disgrace.

    boxing.
    There was no reason to stop the fight - no takedown, no bleeding, no dizziness
    and no immediate need whatsoever. Conor was on his way to the ropes,
    he would have started over fresh in Round 11.
    He probably would have lost but that's never a reason to call a fight over.
    Floyd's side? Conner should have had points taken away for hitting in the back of the head. Fighters don't get 3 or 4 warnings for that sort of thing.

    Dana White even said after the match the timing of the stoppage was at the perfect time....I agree 100%.....Im sure when Conor looks back, hell agree.

    The referee kept Connor from getting unnecessarily hurt. He was so done it's not even funny. Guy was defenseless and did not have a chance to come back if it wasn't stopped because one more punch and he would have been asleep. In fact, the punch that warranted the stoppage did have him slightly asleep already. Of course Connor is going to have all the replies he did, his answers were all predictable. Floyd knows how to adapt to any boxer as well as anyone whose ever played the sport. While It was kind of weird how the referee looked at Connor the whole time during the introduction, you could tell that he ended up gaining respect from a lot of people for his performance including the referee. See his congratulatory nature that exuding respect for Connor after the fight if you don't believe it. And that whole stare down thing in the beginning could also easily be justified as explaining shit to someone whose not a professional boxer, or to someone whose English can be hard to understand at times, therefore, the ref migjtnhabe thoght he needed to clearly articulate what he was saying because the reverse could be true when thick Celtic accents listen to us. The fight was inspiring and damn good.

    The Mcnichols (sp) arena days of the UFC which were basically gladiator battles serving to provide severe brain damage and other injuries and boxing, are two very different things. If you couldn't tell that Connor was toast then I think your deluding yourself because you probably just wanted to see him get slaughtered UFC style. Bot that's not boxing. Boxing isn't about accessive violence. It's a lot more artistic than most people realize and that's why it's lost its popularity. Americans don't really like art anymore. That referee has seen enough fights to know when it's a wrap.

    He was barley standing an could not keep his hands up, if the fight wasnt stopped he would have been on the mat in 2 more seconds.

    No, crooked decisions and MMA just being a more entertaining form of combat is why it's lost its popularity

    I'll give this much to McNuggets, the fact Floyd realized he couldn't hurt him made for most entertaining mayweather fight in a long long time. Was nice to see him come forward and take the fight to someone for a change.

    Yea when he sees that he is more offensive. Corley, Augustus, and Cotto fight was like that. Sees what you have offensively lets you punch and miss for a while and get frustrated then go to work.

    I think the ref did one hell of a job. Perfect point to stop the fight. McGregor wasn't throwing anymore. Just trying to dodge... and hide.

    He was just standing there like a punching bag eating punches, the hell you want the ref to do.
