Correction with post: My analsysis and personal view was skewed and prevented me from seeing through the smoke. Floyd Mayweather was the underdog, and was always supposed to win, the one who's been in the ring, was raised in the ring, and was not a trash talker who shows up thinking he owns the place. With that being said, the majority of the uninformed public thought Conor was going to walk in and knock him out. Mayweather was the underdog all along and was always going to win in the end.
