Didn't watch the fight. By all accounts, he was robbed. No one is saying that judges dont' make some egregious calls in boxing matches. I've seen several such bouts. This was not one of them.

Once you're out of gas in a boxing ring, it's only a matter of time before you get hurt. The only thing that stopped him from 'being hurt' is the ref calling it. Having a good chin and good stamina aren't unrelated in any combat sport. There's a reason nobody knocks out Nick Diaz. |

Agreed but I think giving rounds 2.and 3 to FMJ was pretty shady. He pretty much forfeited those rounds for the big picture but the judges didn't know that at the time.

I'd say the judges probably did know it at the time since I was posting about it at the time, and they know far more about boxing than I do.

Here, BCD. Again, I'd say the judges knew if I do. I'm no expert.

Those judges were on no way impartial, and there was no way in hell conor was every going to win a decision. Even if he deserved it, which he didn't. But he won the first three rounds at least. |

Conor acquitted himself quite well in his pro debut, to put it mildly... even Mayweathers team thinks he has a future in boxing if he wants it |

Connors big plus was his power which he showed none of really.. so was he really the best matchup from the UFC side? Obviously the biggest sale. What about Diaz, Edgar, Dillashaw... be more interesting? Diaz wouldnt be able to flip him the bird in those gloves so that's am issue

Nick is a far better boxer, but neither he or Nate are heavy hitters. They are stamina monsters though. Nick swims to alcatraz for fun. He's a decathlete. He wouldn't gas in a boxing match. He doesn't have Conor's power (even as a WW) or his creativity. Dillashaw's wild whinging punches would not work at all in boxing. I'm not sure anyone in MMA would have performed better. They're not boxers, and if Conor had any goddamn cardio this would have been a much better fight. Dude has his mouth open, puffing heavily, after round 2. "Only ten more to go Conor". |
