2622576, I don't think Floyd 'carried' him exactly

He had been saying in the lead up to the fight that he intended to go straight ahead and get the knock out.

I didn't believe Mayweather when he said that, because that ain't his style. I legit expected Floyd to outbox him and take it to a decision. But he really just went head up.

The first three rounds he was clearly trying to figure Conor out and get the right range. So Floyd threw less than a dozen punches each round and let McGregor shoot his shoot.

After that it was one of the most disrespectful fights I've ever seen.

Floyd didn't box. Floyd barely even jabbed. Floyd didn't use none of his footwork or defense. He just walked foward and kept lunging with his right.

It was the most phoned in Mayweather performance I've seen.

But it was what the people wanted: an ugly fight where somebody gets beat up.
