[Senator Clay Davis]

After sleeping on it, I will say that while Conor did exceed expectations, he showed that he would have lost to virtually any semi-competent boxer in the world simply because he was absolutely done after the third round. Crazy thing is his work rate wasn't even that high, he was only throwing about 43 punches a round, the vast majority of which had little behind them. I'm guessing the switch to 8oz gloves probably got Conor another two rounds longer, he basically stopped defending himself early in the ninth round. Conor definitely did nothing to embarrass himself, but he also did nothing to show he would be able to win any match without a knockout, and as it turns out he really doesn't have that good of one punch power.

Also if it seemed like the crowd atmosphere was weak last night, it's because it was. Only 14,623 in attendance, while T-Mobile's capacity is 20,000. Probably should have done the fight at MGM after all and let Ice Cube hang on to T-Mobile. But PPV is all they really cared about and since it crashed they probably broke the PPV record (and almost certainly the illegal streaming record as well).
