@ said:For what its worth I saw the replay and thought it was an ok fight, certainly no classic. Floyd owned him from round 2 onwards allowing him to throw some very weak punches before tagging him with enough to claim 8 rounds in a row before his corner told him to go for it. When Floyd put his foot down, Connor had nothing.
Reminded me a bit of that film the great white hype. When the white guy layed a couple on the black guy he said "are you trying to embarrass me on tv?" before going on to dominate him.
Anyway, glad this farce is over…the con job has been completed and everyone involved made out like bandits. Good for them.
Thing is it might be a bit of a farce but without the big overhyped fights boxing would be dead.
The sport relies on the casual observer that doesnt take an interest otherwise lashing out for PPV.
