insiket Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 And all of this uncertainty is why it's going to be a very interesting fight to watch.I could honestly see either of them stopping it within the first 3 rounds. But I could also see them going the distance.I can't wait.Well looking forward to it now,whatever the outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alantct Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I 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.Mayweather can go 12 rounds because he doesn't do anything but hide [emoji13]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alantct Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Just been announced that the fighters are getting 8oz gloves. That leaves mayweather less to hide behind as he dances around for 12 rounds [emoji4]McGregor is going to kill him.

You can have a real fight and stay within the rules of boxing. I'm not expecting this to be a regular boxing match.Having seen Conor's amazing understanding of fighting and what to do against every single opponent he's faced, I'm looking forward to this fight and I hope Conor destroys Mayweather.

[emoji3]And we have no previous boxing matches to judge Conor on.But for Conor's ability to know what to do against every opponent, I've got a bet on him.And watching all of their pressers Conor has already rattled Floyd which is a huge advantage.

You must realise that those pressers are scripted and staged and its all about promotion. . And they fly together in a private jet from one presser to the next.

So when they stand face to face and I gauge Floyd's reaction it means nothing?? I bet you are wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I remember when Ricky Hatton was the great white hope. He ended up getting knocked out by two better boxers and that ended his career. I don't like to watch Mayweather fight because he is purely defensive and his dancing around the ring is not very exciting. At 40 years old, he may have lost some of his speed but I wouldn't bet on it. I'd really like to see McGregor catch him with a good punch but it's not likely. McGregor has the power but he has to catch Mayweather for it to be of any use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonray Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 One of the greatest boxers in history has nothing to worry about in Mcgregor. He will evade clinches and hos superior hand speed and footwork will make mincemeat out of Conor soon enough. Prediction....stopped by TKO in 9. Mayweather all the way.

Gary A Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 They both will make a ton of money and some say it will only be a scripted show. I doubt that because they both have huge egos and both will be trying to win. I predict an interesting contest. Hopefully it won't go the distance.
