edit: Never mind. I'm all good.

 

[Embiid]

Good fight....

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Hahahaha those scorecards.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Hahahaha those scorecards.

Yeah, those seemed a bit ridiculous. I don't really watch boxing, but I'd say it was a lot closer than those score cards had it.

The one guy had Mayweather winning 2 of the first 3 rounds. That's absurd.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Mayweather took the first four rounds off. Basically gifted those to Conor.

Giving him those rounds is suspect. I hate boxing judges.

 

[GKJ]

It was what it needed to be. It certainly wasn't the freak show it had the potential to be. If Conor wants to box again he can.

It was a mess with some cable companies though.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Was that the most lucrative beating ever?

Was that the most lucrative beating ever?

I didn't watch but it seems McGregor didn't get too beat up. He just ran out of gas which isn't too surprising. Obviously he was winner before even stepping into the ring with that payout.

 

[Rebels57]

I had McGregor winning rounds 1, 2, 3, and 8.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I had McGregor winning rounds 1, 2, 3, and 8.

He threw over 35 punches in each of the first three rounds. I kind of figured he would come out swinging early & pay for it as the fight went on.

Ultimately the biggest question mark heading the fight became a reality. In that can McGregor handle the rigors of a boxing match. It's just tough for a guy who isn't used that to adjust.

All in all though it sounded like he could claim a moral victory in this one all things considered which was best you could realistically ask for.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Considering it was his first actual boxing match, Conor did quite well for himself. Really made a match of it.

 

[sobrien]

I liked his post-fight interview too. For one of the biggest **** talkers ever, he's pretty humble. All the dude wanted was get knocked down! and they ended the fight before that haha. I can appreciate that.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

For someone with his pride, I can see why he wanted to be knocked down. I'm sure he would literally keep coming until that happened.

 

[Embiid]

The dude was getting punched like a speed bag....they had to call a TKO. He withstood the punches though so that seems more manly than getting floored to me.

 

[Hurricane28]

i've been away for a while and not sure if this was talked about but I remember one of the mods just moved to Houston, hope he is alright, this is insane rainfall

 

[Lord Defect]

What happened to the storm? My wife told me it was knocked down to a category 1 almost immediately after hitting landfall. Did it gain strength again or something?

I'm fine. Would post pics of the surrounding area I walked though today but Ill save that for another day. But the roads now aren't really accessible so I'm probably stuck here til at least Friday. Should have bought a kayak.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Saw someone tried entering a home to rob it & got shot by the owner down there in Texas during the storm.

 

[Striiker]

Good. **** people who try to take advantage of these things to rob and loot.

The major news outlets tracked it gaining strength as it approached land. Crazy the amount of rain that has already fallen and there's plenty more to come.

 

[Flyotes]

Something like 2 Great Salt Lakes amount of water was dumped.

 

[Embiid]

Something like 2 Great Salt Lakes amount of water was dumped.

They said this will take years to recover from just like Katrina. Also, the amount of rain dumped is something on order of magnitude of an 800 year storm. Crazy crap....

Meanwhile, the Prez goes and use the storm as a cover for political actions....dude has no shame

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Good. **** people who try to take advantage of these things to rob and loot.

Attempting to rob a place in Texas just seems like a bad idea all around given that a good proportion of the population probably own firearms down there.
