The guy whose favor could seriously boost your profile. Rousey was on Rogan's podcast with Edmund discussing the fight with Bethe Correia, and Ronda was praising Edmund and how he predicted the early KO. Edmund simply replied that he knew it would happen because in sparing Ronda was beating good boxers and had KOed a few. Unknown female boxers were getting in the ring with the superstar and were they feck gonna spar hard with her or beat her up. So they were going in and letting Ronda 'Win' then collecting their cash and the profile bump off rubbing shoulders with the sports biggest superstar.

As in ducking and diving and kind of stinking the joint out whilst just staying a step ahead.... If Floyd actually fights offensively hard and is barely a step ahead then Conor "wins." In other words if this is in any way competitive, relatively speaking, Conor wins in my book. Conor loses if he gets badly beaten early. Badly beaten mid rds, badly beaten/embarrassed for 12 rds (but only if Mayweather deliberately decides to carry him and punish him) If Floyd is badly beating him and cannot take him out then Conor "wins." Though I'd expect a corner/referee stoppage if the beating is bad. A dance for 12 rds with Floyd just staying a step ahead and Conor "wins."No matter what Floyd doesn't win this fight. Because for me it is not a fight. He is still 49-0. I will not add this "win" to his ledger. Edit: Before anyone jumps in. I have Conor "wins" in inverted commas..... I guess I have set the bar very high for Floyd. Floyd is the spoofer here. Not Conor.

How can you say that Floyd is a spoofer when Conor barked about this fight and is the one with no boxing background to speak of? Incredible.
walshb wrote: » Floyd is a spoofer.... Pro boxer career great entertaining this and trying to legitimize it as some sort of real fight....He damn well is a spoofer.... Simple: If Floyd in any way struggles, relatively speaking then he's a loser.... Conor has 0 to lose here.... I never said Conor "wins" for taking a beating. Read the detail in what I said.
If Floyd fights Conor like Conor is some seasoned pro then Conor wins

In other words him being overly cautious and negative and spoiling, and at times, fouling and holding like he does a fair bit.... Floyd should be able to stand right in front of Conor and beat him up should Conor want a tear up...
