Big questions are can McGregor hit him and has he enough stamina to dance around for 12 rounds?!? If he can then it could be a very interesting and close fight if he can`t its going to be a long night for him.

@huntergoesto_hollywood

big question is if mcgregor will be able to left the arena on his foot

I'd say that's unlikely. Even old Mayweather said that Jr has hand problems and probably doesn't have a KO power. Could be mind games but he has had hand problems before.

@montana
you underestimate cumulative damage. you don't have to ko cold someone to hurt him. the most dangerous are long beatings like mayweather vs gatti or choi yo-sam who even won the fight but died in hospital. besides that i guarantee you that floyd can ko that bum WHENEVER he wants. and you shouldnt believe anything that comes from tmt because they are hyping the fight for ppl to think that mcgregor has a chance. btw his hands are in the best shape since few years

Should be interesting hopefully. Professional boxers who have trained for 20+ years couldnt beat Mayweather.. But if McGregor does win.. its going to break boxing lol

McGregor fan here but let's be realistic, Mayweather has a 49-0 record. No professional boxer has been able to beat him. McGregor's odds are very very low. Not impossible, especially considering Mayweather isn't in his prime years anymore, but still very low. What a payday for McGregor though. Would have been stupid not to go for that match.

I`m a McGregor fan as well, also I like Mayweather as a boxer. Lets be real May is 100% a favourite. McGregor has some chances rounds 1-5 but if it goes to decision its all Mayweather.

Meeh not my taste.... not enough triple barrels.

Wasnt this same thing hyped a year ago when it turned out to be rather disappointing fight of a century.

miami002 7 years, 8 months ago

It was two years ago. Difference between those two fighters is that McGregor just doesnt dance around he always goes for a kill.

I used to think mcGregor had a chance BUT there was recently a boxer (professional but not top top tier) from south africa that sparred with mcGregor and destroyed him he pretty much said he's not good..theres an interview on youtube you can find it...many of the analysts say Mayweather should be a HUGE favorite and his opening odds were -2200, now down to -600, I am not going to bet it because I really want McGregor to win but if I was betting, my money would be on mayweather at -600...if it goes any lower I might have to bet him

Finially somthing i can post in lol (nl2 player trying to learn) but have being competitively boxing/mma for nearly 10 years.
The sparring in which chris van heerden (south african pro - also not that great a fighter to be honest watch him fight errol spence he is mediocre at best) talks about he doesnt say he beat up connor but rather was able to land and that he aint no mayweather which brings me to my next point, theirs levels to the fight game that you cant see until somone fights a better fighter and gets exposed up until that point he might look as good as the the guy he looses to in his highlight videos ect. (Youtube the highlights of floyds previous opponents and then watch them fight floyd and you will know what i mean) So evan though connor has being putting in serious work with serious boxers, 2 time world champ paulie malignaggi for example he will almost certainly still be exposed by floyd. Connors only shot at winning is bulling him and landing with unorthadox punches he does have power and is bigger and floyd is 40 and it is a fight so anything can happen but honestly in my opinon floyd will just out box him pretty easily.
The odds are proble less then a 2 outer but if the fight game has taught us abythings its that every now and then shomeone hits their lucky card and shocks the world.

I love McGregor but Mayweather is like 180 to 1 favourite.

McGregor acted quite nervously at the weigh-ins. Generally this isnt the best sign for fighters.
Anyway fight night is here. Lets go!!!

miami002 7 years, 7 months ago

Things just got very interesting.

This was a very predictable result. The over under was set at 9.5 and it ended in the tenth due to a TKO coming primarily due to exhaustion. McGregor looked reasonably sharp and fast early but was expending an atrocious amount of energy. All his movements were really dramatic and he wasn't picking his shots well. I enjoyed watching it (and the money I won from Floyd), but overall it wasn't particularly interesting. Furthermore, Conor's power was really atrocious in this fight because he didn't seem to understand how to throw with his core from a boxing stance. He gets a lot of torque on his shots in MMA and to see how weak his punches were really undermined any real chance of a flash knockout.
