It's crazy how much discussion has gone into a absurd mismatch ( me included )

Conor is 100% the UFCs main promotor when he retires

How would someone quantify "accurate"? His fist hitting fresh air exactly where MW's head/body was half a second previously? Accuracy is not much good without sufficient speed. Probably throwing single punches as well. I mean, is McG going to be able to set up his punches? I'm not convinced that he will

(And a half second is a lot of time too!)

Well I would consider accurate, as in he lands punches on good points in the fight.

I don't know if he can set up his punches, it will not be to the degree that Mayweather can or even close.

If he lands it may be because Mayweather lets him to set him up.

Mayweather at 40 is still going to be one of the best boxers in the World.

Slips? None of them.

He dropped him twice, and Diaz went down himself the third time

The power thing-angle needs to be put to bed. Conor has power, more than average. He is a heavy hitter. Problem being he has never shown how it is delivered and implemented and effected in a pro boxing ring. He has the capability and the fundamentals to show it. I just think that he won't be able to employ them to a level that is near necessary.

I cant believe people forensically detailing each fighter, this fight is a farce and is set up from the word go. It will go 3 ways
Floyd wins easy (which should be the case) = no rematch
It goes the distance and Floyd wins = Rematch
It goes the distance and McGregor wins = Rematch

If either of the latter two happen, it is purely a planned outcome to generate a rematch and more money for each of them.
If its fought on its merits there is not a hope in hell McGregor wins and anyone who is foolish enough to pay for the PPV, the saying is true - a fool and his money are easily parted

Very true, but my point is he is the one dictating the terms and outcomes

Gamebred

Point is you will watch it, your spending your time discussing it online too if you dont care about it dont post about it.

I certainly wont pay for it and anybody who enjoys and knows their boxing wouldnt either

As entertainment goes paying for the fight isn't being foolish, I expect mayweather to hammer him and want mayweather to knock him out, and me paying 25 to see that is not foolish.

Dropped himself? Interesting. Was so close to being 4 knockdowns btw, 5 seconds before the first knockdown Conor had Diaz like Bambi on ice after a thunderous left.

It is boring, no drama, everyone with a smidgen of knowledge about boxing is well aware of the reality of this situation - the truth is that it's very boring how little of a hope Mc Gregor actually has here - however there is so much money involved that it's gone beyond a boxing match and into a show, and who is to say that there is no prior agreement to continue the show and milk more money - could be very easily done, all floyd has to do is not knock him out.

IMO from a boxing perspective Floyd wouldn't be bothered and spends as little time in the ring with Mc Gregor as possible.

Then again he is stuck for cash, and is Floyd "Money" Mayweather.

I thought at the time Diaz sat down on purpose to draw Conor to the ground, but the more I watch it, and his face as he sat down, he was dropped. Then you see Conor literally blow Eddie Alvarez about 6 feet across the octagon, He has real power.

Precision beats power though right?

I don't see it either. He's not fast enough, and with his relatively basic boxing ability... it will be a huge struggle for him!

The only way I see him having any potential joy in this fight, is by breaking/bending the rules as much as possible.

For example, he could try deliberately standing on Floyd's lead foot when attempting to land that straight left or cross... and just hope that the referee isn't watching too closely. That could be one way of catching him! (:pac:) Southpaw vs Orthodox... he is bound to get one or two opportunities to try something like this, but whether or not he can land anything big that sticks is still very much a long shot imo!

agree mcgregor is a huge underdog but the notion of any sort of a fix is ludicrous to me, with floyds ego hes 100% going into finish the fight if he can, if that doesnt happen its not cause he didnt want to or any other illuminati tinfoil hat bs it will be because he wasnt able to. simple as.

I wouldn't suggest illuminati level stuff... but I could certainly foresee a scenario, where Floyd sets the groundwork for a re-match!

Think of the amount of money he is going to make, for essentially dancing around the ring with a novice boxer. Very tempting to jump back on, for another spin around the money carousel...

I don't think he'll risk losing the fight... But he could let Conor survive for just long enough, that punters get excited about a rematch. Another few months for Conor to improve on his boxing skills... many people would easily get suckered by such a scam!

But in all likelihood, he'll probably just have fun toying with Conor, and embarrassing him a bit. I think he might be a touch jealous of Conor's popularity and standing in the fight world... so he'll probably quite enjoy making him look foolish in a boxing ring, I would imagine! (and of course, cashing in on his fame, to milk him for a sh!t tonne of money!)

That is just pure drivel. An excuse out there in case Conor makes it competitive.

I'm not the sort to make excuses... if I think McGregor did well, I will say he did well. Regardless of any potential shenanigans!

I'm just saying... I would not be surprised if Floyd (or even both of them), decides to make this a close fight. Because the money that could be made on a re-match, would be astronomical... and there are so many saps out there that will swallow that kind of scam without a second thought!!

Just look how many deluded people out there, actually think this is a big important fight... there is a legion of idiots, who are very happy to be parted with their money! Why not milk them for even more money...??

Conor McGregor is deluded, he thinks he can win this fight. He won't partake in any shenanigans. He will go out and fight to win.
