I come from a boxing background, don't like MMA, and thought the fight would be over in 4 rounds. But McGregor impressed me. He truly is a physical freak. His arms are like spider arms and he has enough athletic ability & quickness to do some damage. Mayweather is pretty long for 153 but McGregor towered over him in size and length, I didnt expect that. If he focused on it, McGregor would be able to do serious work just by learning how to use his jab effectively. He has some unique physical attributes to work with IMO. I'd like to see him focus on boxing and see what he could do, he'd probably make more money than MMA and it would help revitalize the sport.


I can't fault McGregor for gassing out. Any fighter thrown into that situation under those circumstances would gas out, regardless of conditioning. Adrenaline has a lot to do with it, he was tight even before the bell. There's a reason amateur fighters usually go from 3 round amateur fights and start with 4-6 round pro fights initially. Twelve rounds takes a long time to work up to. So I wouldn't evaluate anything McGregor did after the first few rounds. After that, his power was predictably gone.
