    McGregor gets tkoed in the first round?
    Good call. I think he will last about 4 while swinging at shadows and getting constantly tagged by Mayweather just like many world class boxers before him did

    TMT

    Why does every boxing fan think it's an outrage against them if Mayweather loses. It wouldn't be that big of a shock.

    Im a Ufc fan. It would be one of the biggest shocks in sports history. At this stage im sure you know mayweathers record. You should know the difference between boxing and MMa. We could argue all night but lets just leave it and see how the fight goes Saturday night

    If it's free money give me a 1,000/1 on McGregor.

    I can speak for myself as a boxing fan, I don't think its any outrage against me at all if Mayweather loses, it would be a mixture of hilarity and somewhat tempered satisfaction.

    I disagree though, it would absolutely be that big of a shock, it would be earth shattering in sporting terms. Actual world class fighters have tried for years to put together a gameplan and beat Floyd Mayweather and 47 have come up short.

    If a guy wanders in from a different sport and beats him, despite age or whatever other excuse you want to make for it, it would be a massive shock. McGregor has only one chance, that perfect KO punch. That's it, he isn't the first to get in there and look for that KO punch either.

    If McGregor was to get in there with any legitimate top 10 right now he would be sparked pretty quick, maybe it being Mayweather will allow him to hang on a bit longer but I doubt it. Floyd will want to take all the headlines after this fight, no "great effort in defeat for the Irishman" stuff, he will want it to be humiliation, but he will be patient, he will take his time if he thinks he needs to and he will dismantle McGregor to the body first then the head.

    Mayeather to win by stoppage (KO, TKO, DQ) is what is called a racing certainty. If he was to give you 1000/1 on McGregor it would not change this.

    If you do find someone to give you 1000/1 in a 2 horse race let me know though, always handy to know those kind of people.

    But, not free money. If it was you'd take my euro at no risk of losing €1,000. I appreciate I may be being pedantic.

    Yeah buts it's sport, that's why we are watching it. It's not guaranteed that May will win and people seem to be pissed at the suggestion McG could win. He may have beaten 49 guys yes but he is 40 now.

    I don't want your euro and I didn't claim it was free money :)

    I have plenty of money staked on mayweather at this point, in gambling there us no such thing as free money, but this is surely the next best thing and one of the safest, most risk free investments you can make this year. ROI is nothing yo be sniffed at either

    Mostly it's when people make the somewhat outlandish claim that he will knock mayweather out inside a round etc with absolutely nothing yo back it up that irks some people I think.

    It isn't guaranteed mayweather wins but I would check outside to make sure the sky isn't falling if he doesnt.

    He us 40 yes, but he us not a regular 40 year old, he has been boxing training since he was able to walk and hasn't been out of shape a day in his life, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke and has 30 years boxing experience including I think 22 world title fights to fall back on if he does begin to feel it physically. I doubt he does though as he is legitimately in better shape boxing cardio wise the McGregor is so if one fighter is going to feel the pace and flag i know who i think it will be.

    His reactions are slightly slower, but he is not facing a man with lightning hand speed, excellent movement/footwork or a guy with a top inside game where he will have little time to react.

    McGregor is going to make this fight as rough as he can, and he is going to be getting punched in the gut all the while he is doing that, this will take its toll even if it appears he is having some early success, personally I doubt he has much early success anyway but still gets tagged often.

    His trailing hand not being in a protective spot while he throws punches could lead to him getting tagged an awful lot and probably right on the chin too which will be a serious test of his beard. Again this is something of habit and even if he remembers to keep his hand up protecting early it us very hard to not fall back into habit, into muscle memory when fighting.

    Mayweather has all the skill advantages even at the age of 40, McGregor was gassed fighting heavy bags after about 5 rounds in one of the training vids, this leads me to believe mayweather is also the better conditioned going into the bout and heavy bags don't punch back.

    Went on a bit longer then I intended here I'll leave it there.

    Agreed. Muscle memory alone will beat Mc. There'll be so many openings for MW it'll be impossible for him to miss.
    I'm looking for an accumulation of punches...not a ko..but that wouldn't really surprise me either.

    Haven't read the link yet but a bunch of doctors, 100 from the ringside association have condemned the fight due to the risk to McGregor health claiming the match being made is a victory for money.

    Haven't read it yet as i said but tough to argue against the premise.

    https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1799277466772170&id=167115176655082


    Read it now, all valid points but nothing you probably wouldn't be aware of or have read before.

    Accurate though, crazy how this got sanctioned. Cash is king as always

    This could be a fairly comfortable victory for Conor, I predict he'll take far less damage than in the Mendes fight. Floyd will be on the deck within 4 rounds, we'll see if he gets up.

    One of us is delusional obviously.

    And it seems that you're not entirely sure yourself, just which one that is... :p

    Just like the patient in the mental ward, you are desperately hoping that you are the sane one... and the rest of the world is bonkers!! Best of luck with that! :pac:

    Do you know how the MMA community sees the boxing community as a bunch of snobby f**ks and completely disrespectful to the sport of MMA? Do you realise how badly you're portraying your MMA view towards Boxing in all of this?
    Not just you btw, but a lot of you who come from the same angle about the snobbery in Boxing, come to a community of Boxing fans and spout sh*te about a boxer who is unbeaten in a 21 year long career, the most accurate puncher in the sport and on top of that the least hit. Not to mention your f*cking ridiculous post about "boxers are not fighters" when i doubt you've been in a ring in your life.

    Can you see the irony here? Can you imagine Boxing fans back in 2008 roaring into the MMA community saying Randy Couture is not going to see past 10 seconds, Toney is going to batter him easily, and completely ignore the other facets that were in front of him?

    Its amazing actually, I'm a big fan of MMA and of course Conor but you don't half make it easy for people to say "f*ck these clowns i hope Mayweather leathers the living sh*t out of him around the ring". Not because we hate MMA or Conor, because of believe it or not, the MMA community's complete lack of respect for the skillset of Boxing.

    Or the simpler answer is that you're on a wind up. I don't think anyone can be delusional enough as you are to really believe in what you're saying. Not the prediction btw, but to throw in "fairly comfortable" "less punishment than Chad Mendes" is an astonishing feat of delusion.

    And of course blah blah blah you'll come in Sunday morning should Conor lose to say how wrong you were.

    The only thing being brought into disrepute is Floyd's character..

    Boxing will carry on Sunday onwards...
