It will be interesting to see all skeptics after Floyd gets knocked out cold.
I am not predicting that outcome, but how can anyone call this fight a nonsense?
I used to box at an amateur level and understand this sport very well.
Connor is not a bum from Ireland. He is an elite mma fighter that uses his boxing skills as a primary weapon. Finishes most of his opponents with strikes. Prefers stand up as he was beginning his career as a boxer, not as a wrestler unlike many mma champions.
He is bigger, younger, stronger, has knockout power unlike Floyd and is very confident he can take Floyd out.
I don't believe Floyd can finish Connor. He will win by decision most likely by running and landing accurate punches, but no way he can hurt Connor.
However, Irishman will have plenty of time to catch Floyd once with his left hook. If that happens, he is going to finish him.
I think this fight is going to be more interesting than many ppl think.

did you watch the Nate Diaz fights? McGregor can't take a lot of punches, much less combinations of punches, def not combinations to the body as well as the head, if you have experience in boxing how come you don't think that Floyd is going to work him with combinations the first 3 or 4 rounds and by the fifth round all he has to do is blow on McGregor and his knees will buckle, not arguing with you just talking it out

McGregor has to make this a dirty fight and win early if he has any shot. He won't outbox Mayweather but the Diaz bros both are durable as hell and he did light up Diaz on the feet. Diaz is also built entirely differently than Mayweather but I'm not disillusioned to believe McGregor has anything outside of a puncher's chance.

I'm gonna partly agree with you and partly disagree with you.

Conor will come into the fight around 15 lbs heavier than Floyd. He took bombs from a 180 lb Nate Diaz with 4 oz gloves. It buckled him, but he didn't sleep. Floyd hasn't knocked anyone out anywhere near that size, nor does he ever put full torque on his punches because he's always thinking defense immediately after. The only way I see Floyd coming away with a KO is if Conor gasses and does a replay of his first fight with Nate.

Floyd doesn't give anyone plenty of time to catch him with anything. His first priority is defense.

Conor's a southpaw, so he doesn't have a left hook unless he's in the pocket, which as an mma fighter, he has zero experience with. From distance, he has a left straight, which is what you normally use as a southpaw vs orthodox, and a right hook you'd use to set up for the left straight.

Diaz cought him with a clean punch. How can you compare him who was 200 pounds that day vs Floyd, who has never been more than 154 pounds?
I sparred with bigger man, and trust me, weight difference makes a huge difference in boxing.

The younger Floyd threw combos early on in the fight. The current Floyd is a lot more careful. He spends the first few rounds throwing jabs, pot shots, and studying his opponent. He only throws combos when he knows his opponents are gassed later on in the fight. You saw this with Canelo.

They're both mostly counter punchers, which kind of sets it up to be a boring fight for most people. They both also have the same signature move, where they shift their weight forward to coax their opponent into a lazy jab, pull back and throw a counter straight.

I used to be 100% convinced Mayweather was going to destroy him, but the more I read from people who appear to know a lot about such things, I'm not so sure now. I wasn't taking into account Floyd's age. 40 isn't old, but let's be honest, that's well beyond the prime years. I'm still not sure Conor will even be able to hit the guy, so what we might see is Conor get extremely winded after 3-4 rounds along with getting frustrated as all hell. Punching at air over time gets annoying and exhausting, and nobody has really ever been able to hit Floyd.

Should be interesting, I think I'll buy it. What's $100 for something that doesn't come along very often? If it sucks, I'll just pretend I spent the $100 watching the total solar eclipse yesterday. That experience alone was worth $100k, let alone $100.

we'll soon find out tomorrow! Sugar Ray had a pretty good insight on this fight. McGregor is coming to fight...not box!

[Needbmwpartzz]

I will guess this fight is rigged based on what's gambled!
My money is on Mayweather.

[upstatedoc]

So close to pressing the button...

[hellrotm]

Quit calling this a fight. MMA is fighting. Boxing is a sport with one skill set. This is a boxing match. If this goes the distance, it is a complete embarrassment for boxing.

Put these guys in a room with no weapons. Who comes out alive?

My money is on Conor => 1,000 Euros !

In Belgium we have to pay 20 Euros on Eleven Sports to watch the fight .
The famous left one from Conor will hurt Floyd pretty bad through his defence
Can't wait ...

[upstatedoc]

It is done.

[ASAP]

this is mayweathers fight... and they are both laughing to the bank on this one...

boxing is not Mcregors playground, he has to play by a different set of rules... if this was MMA, mayweather may not have come out alive

No way !
In MMA 70% of the punches are actually boxing . So why you think Conor can not boxing ?

Think you forgot that Conor broke some jaws in MMA and only with boxing punches !
Conor will break through Floyds defence with his world famous left one in no time and already in round 1 !
Floyd will go down pretty hard tonight ...

And I agree that Conor would kill Floyd in MMA .

EDIT : You saw already the jaw from Conor ?
I saw that Conor has a jaw from a silverback gorilla !

[Mingwan]

You guys don't have to pay for the fight. I have footage of it here.

[FutureHendr1x]

I will be buying it at home, i have a bunch of friends coming over. I box as well, so to me i enjoy watching the sport, especially a event of this nature.

I have my money on Floyd, he's just good at what he does. Connor is good at entertaining so ill give him that. I don't think the fight is gonna be done in 4 rounds like Connor says...so lets see what happens..
