Who’s A Dancing Monkey Now: Floyd Mayweather Dominates Connor McGregor In 10th Round TKO

Boy, there are times that I seriously hate being right! I’ve been saying since the fight was announced that Connor McGregor was outmatched against Floyd Mayweather. I tried to point out to people that their Great White Hope of 2017 just wasn’t gonna make the cut. I called out his race-baiting tactics (calling Floyd a “boy”, insulting black women, comparing Floyd to “dancing monkeys” in Rocky) but I was instead called a race-baiter in return. So, who was right?

Where all these people that were talking all that good game before the fight even went down? Where’s everybody that was calling Floyd a “monkey”, “nigger”, “jiggabo”, “ape”? Haven’t heard much from them since Mayweather won in the 10th round of their fight in a TKO. If the referee let them go some more, Floyd would’ve put McGregor to sleep! Boy, did you see how he was staggering? It looked like that man was sleepwalking out there!

McGregor came out to the ring realizing that he didn’t have a chance. That first round, he was trying his best to figure out how he was going to calm Floyd down and hit him with a strong right hook and “knock him out within four rounds”. It’s safe to say that he couldn’t. About 1:15 into the fight, you could see McGregor’s stamina winding down. Floyd was waiting him out. He wasn’t trying to rush in off top. He knew what he was doing. Floyd was being methodical. He didn’t start really getting aggressive until the 3rd round.

Nobody can ever say that Floyd is a runner ever again in their life! He went straight at McGregor and only backed off when McGregor was throwing jabs. It infuriated me when McGregor kept grabbing Floyd! He was only delaying the inevitable. Plus, I felt like he was gonna try to take Floyd on flight like he was fighting Nate Diaz! When the 7th round came, everybody watching knew that we were getting closer and closer to a knockout. It didn’t matter if it was a clean KO or technical, all that matter was that McGregor was going to fall head first to the mat.

For the next three rounds, it felt like the fight was going on a loop. Connor would throw a weak punch and then Floyd would hit him with a combination of blows. Things got interesting deep into the 10th round when Floyd got him pinned in that corner and started hitting him with hard blows. I saw McGregor start to stagger. If the referee let them go ten seconds longer McGregor would’ve been put to sleep and Mayweather would’ve gotten that knockout his detractors said alluded him. The referee saw what was about to happen and stopped it before things got ugly. We definitely didn’t want anybody getting a concussion!

So, there you have it! Floyd Mayweather is 50-0, retiring undefeated and dethroning Rocky Marciano. Listen, it wasn’t about Floyd Mayweather being an alleged “woman beater” or some convoluted race war that was really perpetuated by McGregor and the white supremacist that were pledging their support to him. It was all about the sport of it at the end of the day. Of course I’m going to call out blatant racism and race-bating. That’s my job here after all! But, I’m a fan of the sport of boxing and a fan of Mayweather the boxer. The discussions leading up to the fight were fun.

It’s a shame I had to block so many trolls and immature people that couldn’t take someone having a different opinion than them. So, you can call me retarded, a horrible admin, an angry black man or whatever lame insult you thought in your brain was so witty that you wanted to post it on our post or article. It doesn’t matter. Floyd won and you lost.
