He'd hit him low a fair few times in the fight and earlier in that round (it was one that put Kovalev in trouble in the first place).

Boxing is second only to horseracing in the rubbish corrupt sport stakes.
My heart wants Horn but my head says PacMan
It's amazing just how quickly and completely everyone stopped caring about Pacquiao. Around the time he was punching the chin off Hatton he was my favourite fighter in boxing and even I won't be bothering to watch him for free tonight.
This has been a fun fight so far.
Holy fuck!
Lots of holding and hittingbrhind the head from horney. But a win, is a win.
What a mug.
I didn't watch it (wasn't planning on being up, don't have kids) but it sounds like yet another dodgy decision by the officials. Everything I've read has Pac as the winner. Fair?
I didn't watch it either but apparently the stats were all in Pacquiao's favour, so I'd imagine it probably was a home judge affair.
Still, lol at the whole thing. I read something saying the plan was to have him smear this nobody all over the place and use the worldwide audience to his incredible showing to 'what, you chicken' Floyd into a rematch. Instead he's been beaten by a teacher.
At the end I was telling everyone at mine that it's probably unanimous towards Pacman.
I felt like the resident boxing expert until that moment.
Oh, it's lulzy alright, I've never even heard of the geezer. Just getting tired of the officials being so obviously bent.
Australian boxing is on the rise.
Very impressed with Josh Taylor. Really crisp boxing.
Find a way to watch Easton v Jamoye, mad slugfest fans. It's absolute carnage.
Both great fights.
Taylor was different class against Davies. His foot work, ability to move in and out of combinations and defensive work were really impressive.
Jamoye was odd. Slapper of a puncher who kept walking and throwing punches. Liked his bravery.
The whole press conference was corny
36:54 Stare down
48:30 McGregor speaks
54:51 Floyd speaks
Isn't every boxing press conference cringe-worthy?
Actually, im going to agree with you. They all are shit. But that one seemed forced and not naturally at all. Floyd trying to convince everyone he still hasnt cashed his $100m cheque is embarrassing.
I thought it was great theatre, but then I don't follow boxing much so I'm not a hardened cynic when it comes to this.
McGregor will still get his face caved in.
Unlikely, he's too decrepit for that these days. McGregor will just tire himself out trying to go after Mayweather who will probably just poke away at him enough to avoid embarrassment and win on points.
Mayweather stops McGregor within 6.
This is McGregor's first fight. Rumour has it a few years ago he had trouble with mid-level Irish boxers in training.
There's no way he'll be at all competitive.
I'm more interested in he Eubank fight this weekend.
Even the remote hope of someone sparking Mayweather isn't enough to tempt me to watch that shitfest as McGregor seems a bellend of equally biblical proportions as well.
Mayweather has broken his hands so many times that he can't even throw a full strength punch at all these days, and he was never a murderous puncher in the first place. He hasn't stopped a fight since Hatton about ten years ago, and even before that his stoppages tended to be in rounds seven to nine, because he'd beat people with volume. He'll win, but nobody will be getting their face caved in.
Any MMA fighter is going to have trouble with someone who's exclusively trained in boxing since they were a child, never mind someone as good as Mayweather. Anderson Silva, comfortably the best striker ever to compete in MMA, had a brief sojourn into boxing and lasted two rounds against a complete nobody.
McGregor's suit for the press conference had pinstripes made out of the words 'fuck you' over and over again. He's a colossal thundercunt.
It really is the equivalent of one of the Browlee's trying their luck at the Tour de France. They're decent at cycling, but they have absolutely no fucking chance.
They'd probably give it a go for $100m.
That's a good analogy, actually. With boxers trying their hand at MMA being Chris Froome going the other way and drowning.
I'm sure they would, but I wouldn't bother watching that either.
Although I probably would watch that.
I hope the other two press conferences are set up like that. Hopefully McGregor mentions about Floyd being a wife beater soon enough for the lols.
Itv pay per view. Let's see how that goes.
Mayweather said in his press conference, defending McGregor, that he hadn't been beaten while standing up.
I reckon this is the shot that essentially ended the first fight with Diaz - he never came close to recovering from it.
He doesn't defend his head anywhere near well enough. Even if Mayweathers fists are fucked he has only ever had them as his weapon. He will know how to test an unguarded chin better than any UFC type.
That said, I did enjoy the press conference. He's a strange but funny fucker.
"What are you doing with a school bag on stage? You can't even read!"
Floyds hands are a none factor. When floyd throws punches, he usually lands. I think he has the best percentage thrown/landed in boxing history.
My only concern with floyd is that he is 40, been inactive for two years and has been eating mcdonalds quater pounder meals since retirement. What condition is he really going to be in?
Has he really though? I can't imagine Mayweather doing anything the jeopardises his legacy.
His legacy at this point isnt going to change, win or loss. He is 40 and has been retired for years. He has a built in excuse vs the most popular guy in mma. There is a reason why he isnt coming back to fighter someone in who is a professional boxer. Its a typical 'cash-out' option. Taking the biggest fight, for the least amount of risk.
Its interesting though. Has connor ever fought someone who was an elite boxer?
Floyd will win.
Conor's only chance is to land a big left.
Nope. He wasn't good enough to make it as one and got slapped around.
Be great if they did go with 4oz gloves. Can McGregor feign for going for takedowns and shit? Or will he get disqualified?
Floyd will hand punches whenever he feels like in my opinion. He does not have KO punching power, but the accumulative punching will take its effect. Ive been informed connor has a strong chin. I dont feel connor will get stopped, it will go the distance. You can get create odds on the distance
Im sure there are some serious money penalties for connor doing any mma moves. if i was him, if it wasnt going well. I would kick mayweather in the leg, and hopefully its judges as a foul and not a disqualified. Floyds leg would be fucked from one kick wouldnt it? That will affect floyd for the remainder of the fight, so ive been told.
If you headbutt someone in boxing or punch someone in the dick, its judged a foul and you get a point deducted. Given connor is from a different sport. He would probably get straight disqualified as soon as he lands some mma move.
They have already put loss of purse stuff in for any MAMA stuff.
Is it the whole purse or a percentage?
I'm not sure it was mentioned in one Fighter and the Kid or Big Brown's Breakdown podcasts.
