2. Gervonta Davis - misses weight/loses his belt. Back of the head/neck clubs his opponent to a dubious stoppage (yet referee was all over Mayweather for anything remotely illegal) and then comes off as anything but a future champ in the post fight interview.
3. The fear in boxing - the legitimacy of boxing as the real deal in fighting kinda evaporated with the rhetoric - the referees' minute long diatribe on wresting and such, the penalty clause if Mayweather got kicked once. Mayweather turning away half bent over and looking/crying to the referee to protect him.
4. The illusion of Floyd's invincibility - took him 10 rounds to put away a man with ZERO pro boxing bouts. Floyd didn't suddenly decide to take damage after a career benched on not doing that. His legs really are gone. His shots also just simply didn't have much sting. It was fatigue as much as it was anything Floyd was doing that put MacGregor away. A lot of money was made, boxing did what it does which is a long term end game losing bet, it showcased fighters and didn't even do much with that visibility other than affirm what we've all known or suspected of boxing all this time.
5. That Interviewer. Put him in the hall of fame already because his time has come to be put out to pasture.
