I hope the officials and Conor's team do not allow the man to get beaten up and dominated and left to continually do so because either Floyd is prolonging it and not really whupping him for the KO, or that Floyd actually can't drop Conor for the count.... Like I said, the flow and action in ths fight is all down to Floyd's dictating. Who do fook wants to see rd after rd of one man clearly beating another? All the while saying "maybe he knocks him out the next rd." If Floyd shows up to perform that is what we will see until Conor drops or hopefully his team or the referee intervene.

Probably not in his nature but he would go 12 no bother if he decided to play them tactic, Conors head is massive I would say theres a good chance Floyds hands break when they hit it, not getting a finish then.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » No, common sense would be to say that no matter what McGregor does, Floyd will adapt and have an answer for it........... it is not common sense to suggest that only Floyd can dictate the flow and pace of the fight. They are two different distinct things. Of course Conor has a say on the pace of the fight. If Mayweather sat back and Conor brought the fight to him, then that would be Conor having a say on the flow and pace of the fight. Seriously, do people even think before they give their views. We get it. Mayweather is the pro-boxer here and should, theoretically at least, annihilate Conor.... but to suggest he is a docile passenger here is preposterous.
Outlaw Pete wrote: » A lot of this makes little or no sense, especially the analogy used re: G Ramsey. He acts as if their options were only Freddie Roach. Think they could live to regret their approach to the fight.
Gintonious wrote: » This though, is EXACTLY what Mayweather does, he is a counterpuncher of course. He lets you try and attack and then gets you either before, during or after the attack. If he sits back and lets Conor come forward and catches him for the majority of the time, having a say in the pace would mean sweet FA.
Outlaw Pete wrote: » Not saying it will happen, but if McGregor goes at Floyd from the start, pressuring him, how the hell could Floyd then dictate the flow of the fight?? It will be McGregor that will have dictated it, even if he then goes on to lose. You seem to think McGregor is just a passenger and has zero say in the pace of this fight. An absurd view from you.... as ever.

Outlaw Pete wrote: » The sport's brilliance? Ah here we go. MMA can't compare to the wondrous sweet science. Look, I know exactly what controlling means in the context of boxing. Floyd may be able to nullify attacks from McGregor with ease and also put him on the back foot (all possible) but it's absurd to suggest that nothing Conor can do will effect the flow and pace of the fight and that it's only Mayweather that can do that. There have been pro-boxers that have come out and said that McGregor needs to control the pace of the fight and not let Floyd get comfortable.... do they not understand the sport's brilliance either?? Nauseating nonsense.
walshb wrote: » I never said MMA can't compare...
But, you are backing Conor to win. Yes, a complete novice to beat an ATG... Kind of tells me that you don't really understand or appreciate or respect the sport's brilliance...
So, no matter what Conor does from bell 1 to the end of the fight he will have next to no say on how the fight is dictated. Floyd will call this...
