    Different interpretations of the same event.

    What were you getting at with the six pack comment though?

    Just that when you are stressed you lose weight, it was a terrible attempt at sarcasm, I'm disappointed in myself.

    Honestly thought Floyd looked the more relaxed up there, he has done this before.

    Conor seemed a tad out of sorts, no idea how he ever did 145, he looked a bit gaunt in the face but he did cut some weight.

    Interesting approach to the strategies anyway.

    Jesus listening to Paulie on the Showtime panel is painful. Nearly every remark is a pointed jab at McGregor breaking the rules in his sparring session, specifically the "head holding". Judging from the Showtime panel they are scared if McGregor wins he won't be back to them for another boxing match, he will be laughing all the way into the HBO head office with Paulie screaming bloody murder from his twitter account. I can only hope.

    17lbs.

    Most of the weight he has cut will have been water that he ''purged'' over the last 36 hours. He will put a lot of weight back on by simply taking in fluids which his body will now retain.

    Conor looking pretty gaunt; haven't seen him like that since the Aldo fight. Roll on tomorrow.

    I think it is a positive that McG had to dehydrate enough that he looks a little gaunt. John Kavanagh said before that the weight cutting focuses fighters.

    Mayweathers shocked me coming in at 149, he's going to be at least 15lbs lighter than McGregor tomorrow night and that will be significant. Taking age into account aswell, this may be a lot closer than most people, myself included, would have predicted.

    The cynic in me thinks how much does Floyd love money, a good fight and a close victory for either fighter or McGregor knockout sees a rematch and a doubling down in terms of money.

    Pretty sure it was something like:
    You little short arse'd bitch.
    You ain't got shit on me.
    You little short arse'd, weak ass'd, bitch.
    I'll kill you stone dead.
    Know that! Know that!
    I'm gonna make you beg me to follow the rules in there....
    Get your hand off me or I'll break your nose right here!
    You look about 160 and all, you look blown out!
    AHHHH! EIRE!! EIRE!!

    Which would prep nicely for another money making fight.

    Significant how?

    He could come in 100 lbs heavier... won't make any difference.

    Conor should aim for 162 or so..

    Floyd be likely 153 in the ring..

    It won't go past 6 rds either way..

    Honestly can't wait for your excuses if Conor KO's him. It'll be like reading a Tom Clancy novel with the amount you'll have ready.
