Rc2702 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Interesting match up I'm not sure who will take it but I fancy mcgregor to spark him out as this lad can take a hell of beating and I'm not sure moneybags can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even his boxing training is looking strange it should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alantct Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Where have you seen him boxing ? He hasnt had a Boxing fight yetHe boxes in training sessions and has had sparring matches in the gym. He started off as a boxer in crumlin boxing club. He was a boxer long before he was an mma. I watched him fight way back when he started training in the gym in Dublin and been following him since he was a teen.Most people have no clue how good a boxer he really is.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insiket Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 We,ll see about that.He,s one of the greatest defensive fighters going.McG will gas out trying to hit him in my opinion.(Punching air is more tiring than anything else for a boxer)when he gets tired mayweather will turn it on.

KunMatt Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I've got a tenner on McGregor to win at 15-1!!As Conor says, Floyd has had 49 boxing matches but never had a fight in his life. Conor has had 26 real fights. This will be a fight and I can see Conor doing well in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You honestly think that McGregor the younger, fitter, faster, stronger athlete with a longer reach will "gas out" trying to hit him?

ELVIS123456 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I am glad to hear Alantct thinks McGregor has a chance. I hate Mayweather, but cant see him losing this huge payday fight. He will just duck and weave and grab, and pick off McGregor for the points. As others have said, he may even 'do an Ali' and when McGregor is completely stuffed from throwing punches, he might just take him out. 12 rounds is a long way - UFC/MMA only ever go 5 rounds. If the Ref stops Mayweather holding, then McGregor might 'catch' him and knock the <deleted> out of the ahole. And if it goes the distance and the Judges do their job and reward aggression and not 'defensive skills', then he could win on points. But I think both scenarios are very unlikely. It is a long way from UFC/MMA to World Class Boxing - and it is all uphill. Heart says McGregor, but head says Mayweather will beat him at his game. What I would like to see is a UFC/MMA match between them - but Mayweather will never agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mma is far more physical and demanding then boxing [emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI agree mma is far more demanding than boxing.However,most of McG wins are in the 1st or second round.In the first Diaz fight McG went looking for a KO and gassed out after 7-8 minutes(at least 90% or more of that fight was boxing)McG tried to outbox Diaz and got beaten.Diaz is nowhere near as good a boxer a Mayw.McG is younger and stronger but he,s not fitter or faster.Mayw can go 12 rounds without breathing heavy (even at 40 I would think)and his hand speed,head movement,footwork and ring savvy are the reason he,s unbeaten.If McG doesn,t land the bomb in the first 3-4 rounds then he,s in for a long night.

But I could also see them going the distance.I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
