I didnt really get your point with the other posts but as for the bit in bold, I disagree. Mayweather would KO McGregor in a boxing match, no sweat. And Mayweather wouldnt agree to anything other than a boxing match. Maybe, but I doubt it. McGregor has never been finished by KO or TKO. Mayweather's maybe the best point-fighter I've ever seen, but I think you're underestimating McGregor's chin. Either way, McGregor's never going to win a boxing match against one of the greatest to ever fight. As for youre example, James Toney was well past it when he got into that UFC fight. He is really punch-drunk and tbh should not have been allowed in the octagon let alone a boxing ring. A better example of a boxer transitioning to mixed martial arts would be Holly Holm. Best known as a boxer, had a few kickboxing matches then went into MMA and became a world champion Hmm... Toney had only retired from boxing about a year earlier, which is about how long it has been since Mayweather retired, and neither of them has any background in MMA, so the challenges would be similar. I agree that the UFC was being crass by signing the fight, but as long as the commission cleared him, there wasn't technically any reason to say he shouldn't be allowed. But, as you say, unlike Toney, Mayweather's not stupid enough to fight in a combat sport he has no experience in. Either way, he can't beat McGregor in MMA, and McGregor can't beat him in boxing, making it little more than a publicity stunt, unless they decide to cash in on it. Holm isn't comparable. Holly is an experienced MMA champion, with years of training and experience in several different combat sports before entering the UFC and fighting Rousey. There wasn't anything "stunt" about that fight, Holly's legit.

I didn't see it that way. I've always felt the "boxing vs MMA" debate is a dumb one, as they're different sports. I can respect the athletic prowess of fighters from different disciplines.
If you thought I was arguing for Connor, or saying "MMA is better," I think you misinterpreted. I don't even like Connor McGregor.

Ward by Unanimous Decision. Haven't actually seen the fight yet as I'm still in the process of moving but from what I've read, UD doesn't seem right.
Every report I've read had Kovalev up by a couple of rounds but even then they say it's close. Thoughts?

Very close fight, it could have gone either way It really could. I happened to score it the same way all 3 judges did, but there were rounds I scored for Ward that could easily have gone the other way. I'm going to lol at the babby tears on boxingscene though.

Having finally watched the fight, I'm in agreement that it could've gone either way.
Kovalev definitely took the first 4 rounds and I gave him at least two after that but Ward's body shots on the inside really took their toll later on. Personally, I gave it to Kovalev based off of the knockdown but I can see why Ward got the decision.

Yup I thought Ward might have just nicked it but its one of those fights I could watch again and go the other way. Good fight imo, there has to be a rematch

I still have Kovalev up by a point based off of the knockdown but if anyone had Ward up by a round or two, I can certainly understand.
I do wish fellow Kovalev fans would stop using Harold Lederman's unofficial scorecard as proof of a Kovalev victory though.

Anyone catch this weekend's fights? Sure did. Parker/Ruiz - Meh. Think they both suck. Joshua & Crawford/The Molinas - Meh. I don't like mismatches. Burton/Buglioni - What an amazing comeback. That's what the sport is about. Chisora/Whyte - Entertaining scrap. I scored it 7-5 Chisora, but it was close enough to go either way. Whyte sucks. Don't wanna see him ever again. Charlo/J-Rock - Impressive. Didn't see that coming. Mares/Cuellar - Another impressive performance. Pretty packed weekend. I can't complain.

Jack should have been deducted points for low blows and constantly throwing shots after the bell (one of which almost KO'd the ref). I give DeGale plenty of credit for getting up and finishing the fight strong,he actually hurt Jack right at the end.
