Walshb I was fishing when it was a rumoured bout 6 months ago and caught a heap in here,

I give him close to zero chance, I gave Canelo no hope or Manny no hope and neither them made a fight of it for any of them 24 rounds, I guarantee Conor will give him fits early that neither of them could achieve, I think a moral victory is within reach for Conor here if he doesnt get lit up and goes 12 rounds I'd be very impressed tbh but I dont think you'd give him a bit of credit for that.

Well, plenty posts of mine said that if Conor makes it 12 then he "wins."

I have also said several times that no matter what happens Floyd can't legitimately win. It's not a legitimate fight IMO..

He's not getting 50/0 from me...

Loads of posts. All clear as crystal and consistent...

By not explicitly saying Conor will win he protects the e-credibility he strives for.

So, every time your favourite team plays, you think they're gonna win do you?

You must do as you seem to struggle with the concept of hoping and only believing that someone has a slim chance of victory.

The truth is that you folks just don't have sufficient arguments against McGregor having a slim chance of winning the fight and so it's no wonder then that you so desperately want people to say they believe Conor will win (even when they don't) as that's the only argument any of you have the gumption to retort.

Pete says it's like going for Ireland at the Euros. Ireland were 100/1 to win the Euros. Conor is 7/2 here.
According to the bookies there is more chance of McGregor beating Mayweather than there is of Tyrone beating Dublin

Well, at least you're starting to wrap your head around it now, that's good to see. Being a fan of a golfer, soccer team, boxer, whatever, doesn't mean you think they will triumph no matter who or what team it is that they will encounter..... you just hope they will.

Anyone who thinks Conor will ''will tie up, freeze and be kind of like a deer in the headlights'' is not worth debating the fight with, the most far fetched thing ive ever read on Boards full stop.

What about the Vegas lights though, man?? The Vegas lights!!!

If he goes 12 rounds but gets schooled does he deserve credit?

Would you not give Floyd credit if he hopped in the cage and legit survived for 3 or 5 rounds no?

to be competitive enough to be in the fight without the ref or his corner stopping it would be fairly impressive to me, on paper he should be blown out of the water Floyd ought to be embarrassed if he cant take out a 0-0 novice in 2 or 3 rounds.

And before it was his stage, it was not his stage.

He was going against the likes of Aldo, undefeated for 10 years and the P4P #1 and he didn't shy away.

Conor has shown to perform under pressure from press conferences to the octagon, even in throwing a 3-pointer. He has shown the complete opposite of freezing up.

I genuinely think you're being unreasonable on purpose. You think boxing has more variables than MMA which is absolutely & factually untrue. How can you stand by that statement?

Get out of it..

Wasn't his stage? Nonsense..

Damn sight more his stage than Aug 26 will be..

Boxing is much more a specialty and craft than MMA..

Put it this way..,

Take any two competitors..comparable..

Conor and Thurman. Both at the top in their sports..

Both decide to swap sports and dedicate to those sports. Not a hope in hell Conor makes it to the top in pro boxing..

Thurman would have a far greater chance to be a real contender in MMA.

Boxing is a refined craft. A specialty.

MMA is a mixed bag..

Ok well then you are just a fanboy going along for the pissup. Nice of you to admit it. Please step away from the serious discussions in future and relent from trying to examine things with intelligent detail!

wonder, don't forget to set your alarm Aug 27 to come on and admit you were completely clueless on the glaring gulf in class..

It's your (and some others) posts that will have many who were wanting Conor to win to actually rooting for Floyd.

Biggest load of tripe you've ever posted and that's saying something.

You've spent the last month calling the fight a farce, a joke, a moneygrab, a fix, a scam and rubbishing Conor's skills and ability.

The only person posting pure drivel making people root for someone is you making people root for Conor.

normanoffside wrote: »

Wonder, can I ask why you think McGregor wins on points (as by the poll) or was that a mis-click?

I can see the fight playing out a number of ways but I think it might go as follows:

Conor will drop him twice in the first 5 rounds (winning 3 rounds), so that'd be 2x 10-8's and a 10-9, so I think he'll have a 3 pt lead after 5. Thereafter I think they'll share rounds 6 through 9, with Conor closing the fight impressively.

I'm aware the bookies have that as a 25/1 type shot so I'm not arguing it's the likeliest turn of events but I think if Conor gets up on the scorecards early he'll be able to see it out pretty well.

Conor might KO Floyd but I think people are underestimating the fact Floyd has a granite chin. I think he gets dropped, sure, but not slept.

I don't expect Floyd to win in 2-3 rounds. IMO he rides a storm, waits for Conor to gas and then starts to dominate. He won't flat out KO him, hence my bet on a TKO. I think the ref will stop conor on his feet or else his corner will pull him in the middle rounds.

I'd back my house that Thurman stands a far greater chance to make it to world MMA level than Conor does at pro boxing..

Super, at 25/1 definitely worth a few quid. you can actually get 40/1 if you look around. https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/floyd-mayweather-jr-v-conor-mcgregor/method-of-victory

Perfectly reasonable and likely to happen, but there is people that believe there isnt the slightest chance he will land a single punch or make Floyd work for a second, McGregor has about 10 minutes of dynamite in him (in mma anyways) so I think Floyd runs for them few rounds and by default could drop them,

Mad method maybe but theres more than 1 way to skin a cat, sure the end result is very likely to be a loss but Canelo didnt win a round as far as I can remember it was a white wash.

Canelo was quite competitive in a lot of rds..

I always felt that the description of that fight in Floyd's favour was way exaggerated..

Floyd won, but Canelo pushed him hard..

It's not going to be remotely similar Aug 26..

Swap them both RIGHT NOW...

Thurman wouldn't last 60 seconds against any top 1,000 MMA fighter from 135lbs to 155lbs.

I'd back Conor to last AT LEAST 8 rounds against almost every pro boxer from 145lbs to 160lbs.

Of course, I'd fancy Conor's chances a lot less against certain opponents at 160lbs. I think David Lemieux stylistically is a bad match-up and I would fancy Lemieux to KO Conor inside 3 rounds.

Thurman would need years upon years to learn wrestling, jiujitsu, muay-thai from scratch. A decade probably.

Conor has been boxing *in some capacity* for the last 17 years. He wouldn't be learning from scratch.

You're delusional.

That's a fair enough comment but like Alvarez at about 45 fights at that stage and supposedly 10-15 more that haven't been documented. The majority were against softish competition but you know what I mean?

Everyone has a slim chance. Berto had a slim chance against Mayweather in his previous fight. Berto was about 40/1.
Berto would be a big favourite against McGregor in a boxing match yet McGregor here is a lot more favourite.
I'm looking at this as a pure mathematical outlier/money making opportunity. Completely emotionless. Mcgregor fanboy money is completely skewing the odds and I intend to profit from it!

My posts are clear and consistent..

There are more disciplines in MMA..

If I said what you claim I would rethink that.

No issue saying I was wrong or off target..

Unknowns? Subjective that...

But, here's one to consider. Boxing is 36 minutes..

Your mind and body has to expect and plan for and cope with 11 more minutes of unknowns..

Now, as you got onto me about other parts of your posts, what about your response to other parts of mine?

I don't *know* anything. Floyd might get in there and do a Brad Pitt and flatten Conor with the first punch.

None of us *know* anything when it comes to predicting sports, we all just give our informed opinions and predictions. Conor has a granite chin, he's never been dropped by a kick, a punch, an elbow, a knee. Rocked? Sure, once in his whole career but he ate that 1-2 clean and stood up to it.

If someone refuses to change their opinion after being presented with evidence, then they're fools. If I see evidence of Conor being demolished by Floyd, I will change my opinion on Conor's boxing ability.

I know what boxing is. You use your fists to punch people.

Conor won't be getting stopped by Floyd. He might get stopped by heavier hitters at 160lbs.
