Official Conor McGregor thread (part 3) *Updated Warning in 1st Post Re:Boxing match
The last thread was nearing the 10k post limit so here's part 4.

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.

I think the smaller gloves favour Mayweather. 8oz gloves will assist his hand speed and his power, yes he has power to hurt McGregor, but more importantly, savage actually and far superior hand speed.

That Don guy must be losing his mind as he was pimping his rap song about McGregor on Twitter 24/7 for months and nothing :P

Floyd doesn't want 8-ounce gloves... it's all just show as he knows that should be beat Conor (and it's highly unlikely he'll lose, let's be honest) people will be saying that Conor is used to 4oz and he made him fight in 10oz cause he was afraid to fight in 8s............. going through this charade means that when that time comes he can say, "Well, I tried to get the fight contested with 8-ounce gloves but the Nevada commission wouldn't allow it".

It'll be the softest application (on the part of Mayweather at least) that the commission has ever heard.

The only people saying that will be sad salty morons who idolise McGregor like a teenage girl does a boy band. And they will get rightly laughed at for it.

16 days out and I'm finding it hard to budge from my position of Mayweather in 3/4 rounds. Looking forward to what looks like a decent undercard. Gervonta Davis, Shawn Porter, Badu Jack, Nathan Cleverly and Roman Martinez all involved.

Subcomandante Marcos

The gove size favours Floyd but not because of the increase in power they give, which is minimal, they benefit him because the smaller surface area gives Conor less cover when he employs a high guard and allow Floyd to slip in shots from awkward angles and split the guard easier.

cletus

I'd say Floyd generates at least as much force in his punch as Conor

posturingpat

One common thing that is coming out anytime this fight is mentioned is Connors speed being streets ahead of Floyd and in theory he will be, should be really when moving around the ring but when it comes to speed of hands and reactions I'd be happy to bet Mayweather will be quicker.

I'm sure mcgregor is well used "big mitts" by now.

And do you really think Floyd is a more powerful puncher??

Cunningham?! Ffs, he's long since done.

Davis is a cracking, exciting fighter with a big future. Think Lomachenko would demolish him though if it ever happened.

Jack-Cleverly is a decent fight. Cleverly on the slide but Jack going up in weight might make it interesting.

Anyway, undercard announced. Who the **** are those guys!? Half serious, I know notting about boxing, are they any good or just guys from Floyd's gym?

https://twitter.com/ShowtimeBoxing/status/895693521478340608

It's pretty good undercard, Gervontaa is a class act, or at least looks it so far, quick hands, clever and powerful, Fonseca is someone i've never seen fight but has a big enough rep too but couldn't vouch for him.

Badou Jack should beat Cleverley who's good at his own level but shouldn't be beating Jack in truth who's one of the best light heavyweights about(i'm guessing that's what they're fighting at?)

Tabiti is holding some Mickey mouse belt at Cruiserweight at the minute i think and should beat Cunningham who's been about for a longtime, has been a good enough fighter (few world title wins in his time) but is well on in his career now and was schooled last year by a Polish lad whos name escapes who was beaten in his next fight.

martyos121

Gervonta Davis, Nathan Cleverly and Badou Jack are all solid undercard names, happy enough with that but it's a shame it didn't come at the right time for Katie Taylor, that would have been massive.

I tend to agree, but also feel lads are trying to push any pro McGregor angle they can (the hard knock life angle in this instance), even to the point of demonstrably talking bollocks.

Crumlin isn't even that 'rough' tbh. I grew up in Inchicore and it's certainly nowhere near as rough as parts of Inchicore, Tallaght, Darndale, Coolock, Ballymun, Ballyfermot etc etc to name a few and it certainly wasn't when Conor lived there. Didn't his folks move out of there when he was in his early teens?

It's all bollox really

When Ross Kemp does a show in Crumlin like he did in Compton, then ill be all ears.

I don't know...I'd take my chances walking through Crumlin at night compared to downtown Compton.
