Mayweather vs McGregor: Jamie Moore on Conor McGregor controlling it all perfectly

Jamie Moore was there when Floyd Mayweather got a warm welcome from Ricky Hatton and his Manchester fans 10 years ago, so what did he make of the second stage of the world press tour, in Toronto?

I saw it as Mayweather trying to make out he was allowing McGregor to be in control. But we all know if he had tried to take control of him on stage, he wouldn't stand a chance.

First impression

I am loving this. I knew this would be the best part of this whole event. The first meeting in Los Angeles was pretty even and Floyd Mayweather held his own, but this one was different.

Not only did Conor McGregor understand exactly what he could do, but also it just made me think that Floyd doesn't have the energy to go the full duration on these things. It comes naturally to McGregor and we saw that come out in Toronto. He always tries to make us think he's in control but he's anything but. No-one has control over McGregor.

McGregor's performance

He was absolutely on fire. There is something about McGregor and the way he comes across means you don't really get offended if he goes off on one on someone. It's so tongue-in-cheek and even last night, he said it all with a smile on his face, so he is not offending people. He might pick up the odd fine, he might have a go at the boss of Showtime, but that's no problem because he probably won't fight on it again.

Mayweather's performance

The way I read into it last night was that he tried to make out he was allowing McGregor to be in control. We all know if he tried to take control of him on stage, he wouldn't stand a chance. He looked like he'd admitted defeat and now knows for sure that McGregor will sell the fight better than he ever could. I'm not saying he was intimidated but Floyd looked uncomfortable.

Highlight

My favourite bit was when he just said Mayweather dressed like a 12-year-old break dancer. Last night there were so many times I just burst out laughing. He had me in stitches.

Low point

At one stage I thought he was going to nick Floyd's rucksack, thinking 'it's only $5k, he can sue me for it!'. I then thought he was going to get really offended when Mayweather took the Irish flag away and thought McGregor would just throw all the cash into the crowd. It still made me laugh, though.

The crowd

They were unbelievable. Let's be honest, no-one really welcomes Mayweather with open arms do they? When McGregor had the whole crowd chanting "**** the Mayweathers", it showed Toronto liked him even less than I thought. Floyd doesn't care though, it's all about the dollar bills for him.

Face-off

It was a bit like the first one in Los Angeles. They were both going at it again. There was a video showing us what they said to each other in the first one, so let's see when that comes out.

Who won?

McGregor won that by a landslide! It was calculated and Mayweather knew he was never going to win, so he just let McGregor do his stuff.
