    Come on J, you're Irish lol. You're clearly as biased as anyone in this thread. You were completely devastated when Conor lost the first fight so it's not fair that you simply think we're all Conor haters when you're just as biased as anyone in here. 

    Not really. I've criticised McGregor on here a few times. I've a pretty open mind about him I reckon. The hate for McGregor on here is definitely stronger than my liking for him.

    Just not having the fact some of you aren't giving him the 2nd though. It's literally insane giving that to Diaz when he gets dominated for 4 of the 5 minutes including getting knocked down twice. I'd advise all of ye to watch it again.

    Scoring it a 10-8 round is far more reasonable than awarding the 2nd round to McGregor.  He gassed that round and the fight turned on him.  He started back peddling, not to defend but simply to breath, and Nate took control entirely by the end of the round.  It carried over into the beating he took in the 3rd in which Mcgregor did nothing but run away and get hit.  Literally run away I might add, which is probably why he got 10-8.  Running away should be penalized.  Doing it several times, should be penalized severely. 

    The only reason this discussion is happening is because Nate couldn't see in the 4th. 

     

    Ridiculous. 

    McGregor completely out-fought Diaz for 4 mins of the 2nd round and started to gas a bit in the last minute. You can't let the last minute of a round cloud your judgement. I'd advise rewatching the 2nd round and pretending it isn't McGregor fighting. He blatantly won it. 

    McGregor landed clean a lot in the 3rd too btw. He lost the round but it was never in a million years a 10-8. Better argument that the 1st round was a 10-8 when he put on an absolute clinic. 

    Also blaming the loss on the the fact Diaz couldn't see is one of the worst excuses I've ever heard in my life. You do realise the reason he couldn't see was because of the amount of times McGregor landed clean on him? Blood was pumping from all the damage McGregor did picking off punches. Should give credit to McGregor for doing damage to Diaz like that not using it as a way to criticise his win.

    Tell me what I said was wrong? You have most people in here thing Diaz won, most people in the bar I was at thought diaz won. Octagon control is supposed to count! 

    This thread is extremely anti-McGregor. Of course most think Diaz won.

    If Octagon control counts then McGregor won rounds 1 and 2 by an absolute landslide. Completely dictated both those rounds.

    For sure, last year was awful, we have the players to be better than that. Excited to see what Koeman can do and see what type of squad he builds. Our depth is better, but still need to bring in a few players and definitely another striker. Also a keeper. Although for the second straight game Stekelenburg has come up with a big save, so props to him.

    Yep and a relatively young core of players in Barkley, Lukaku, Deulofeu etc who are only going to improve. Once Williams gets fit he'll be a brilliant signing too. Top 8 finish very achievable.

    Absolute masterclass from Crawford. Nullified Postol's jab from the start with his movement. Very impressive. Gave Postol one round.

    Hopefully get the Pacquiao fight made next for November.

    This has been one of the poorest tournaments in overall quality I can remember, Not one stand out side. This final just encapsulates the poor standard overall.

    Hail.

    Was just about to say the same thing. Adding more teams seems to have diluted the quality somewhat but no excuse for the big nations to be this poor. Worst tournament I can remember for a long time.

    usually when great fighters run out of opponents, they go up in weight, not fight someone 2 classes down.

     

    its a bull**** move

    And who would want to fight him at 168? Ramirez is injured, Jack and DeGale are in negotiations to fight each other. There is no other fighter in that division that people wouldn't criticize GGG for fighting. 

    There is no comparison to what Canelo did here. Canelo was ducking fighters by taking Khan, GGG has not actively ducked anyone. He's taking the one fight thats currently on the table for him.

     

    I just hope the likes of Jacobs, Saunders and Canelo are embarrassed by seeing a welterweight in Kell Brook step up to have the fight against GGG when none of them have the bottle to do so.
