Fans reacted to the clip with interesting observations about McGregor’s performance, with one fan also providing a detailed assessment and a rating.
“Can see the potential already. He definitely got trained well though””7.3/10 definitely can tell this is an amateur fight but they were both very courageous for their fight. The combos were there, and so was the fundamentals, but it simply wasn’t that entertaining.”
Fans also remarked about his origins and the plight of his opponent, saying:
“And a legend was born””That guy was not ready.””His opponent looked like he wanted some warm kisses and hugs there for a minute.””Conor wore the longboard shorts before the secret juice made him jacket””Almost dropped the ref with that last swing”
