Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match

Axwell

The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 3.

The same rules as the last thread apply here. People seem to have strong opinions either way when it comes to McGregor and threads here tend to get a bit heated from time to time. Please keep it civil and discuss all things Conor in a mature way.

Any name-calling, trolling, baiting, or being a general ass-hat will earn you a ban from the thread and possibly the forum.
If you have an issue with a post, please use the report post function.

Any off topic posts will be deleted.
Any "Do you even train Bro?" or "I'm an mma fan longer than you" type posts are not permitted either. They only make you look like a fool and as a result, everyone hates you. Yes everyone.

**Upate with Mayweather vs McGregor announced**

Lads consider this the one and only warning - big fight with a lot of hype around it. It brings new fans to the forum as well as the regulars so try and get along. Any trolling or nonsense and people will find themselves on a break from the forum and that applies to everyone.

Not suggesting anything like this will happen, but that tumble attack made me laugh.

Would a spinning backfist be illegal in boxing?

Whereas McG has a gud left.gud under pressure.

So everthing says he will probs lose but Fook it.I hope he wins just for my entertainment value and the anything is possible Ness.

On a side note.I would love to see mcG doing unorthodox movements in there but within the rules.I mean if he could somehow work it to his advantage and not break the rules do some sort of a tumble leading to some offence. ...I know I am probs dreaming but like the concept.

A tumble leading to offence in boxing. Ok folks we hit it. Low point of this whole thread. Everyone can stop racing to the bottom

Unfortunately would never happen because there'll be a clause in the contract which will state if he tries anything like that he will lose his purse and more.

Could you imagine if the fight starts, they touch gloves and Conor pulls a capoeira kick on him. It would be amazing. :pac: If he didn't get his head taken off from it poor Floyd would probably dive through the ropes and out of the ring. :pac:

also fairly sure doing something that far out of the rules in place would result in assault charges

UFC veteran Chris Camozzi suggested Conor should try get as far as the 6th round and then head-kick his face off. Just because.

For the latest news

He signed a 7-figure deal to flog Beats by Dre, well the 7-figures part is just what's floating on the interweb but the latter part is factual.

You wouldn't put a Gaelic footballer into Barcelona and expect them to fit in. Shur both sports have balls and you can kick the ball, only thing he can't do it handle it.

But it won't, you see already people are saying he will "luck box" (never heard that one) or catch him with a fluke shot. I'm sure we'd get the "but Floyd is old and retired" too.

I'll be too drunk on salty tears to give a shit what people are saying tbh

How is it good for any sport if some loud mouth casual comes in and luck boxes his way to victory against one of the all time greats? Would it have been good if James Toney KO'd Randy those years ago? It would be tragic.

Brock Lesnar did pretty much exactly that - Came in from a different sport and became UFC champion.

It wasn't tragic.

It equally wouldn't be tragic if Anthony Joshua was a naturally amazing grappler and came in to the UFC and started destroying people.

People keep going on about Federer with analogies - If Federer was just naturally amazing at badminton and went straight over and beat the world champion, it says very little about badminton and a lot about how brilliant Roger is.

If Conor KO's Floyd or WORSE - Conor beats Floyd on points - it should speak to how brilliant Conor is.

All things being equal, it won't go down like that. The odds suggest Floyd will comfortably dispatch him.

It's like the Olympic ping pong champion coming over and beating Roger Federer at Wimbledon. Absolutely embarrassing. If this fight materialises it's a huge embarrassment, and a truly dominant beat down is the only thing that will save a little face.

Alright there Paulie Malignaggi.
