Because the smugness in here over the past few days is ridiculous.

Are people concerned that Mayweather may well seriously injure McGregor tonight? Most likely he will toy with him, and let Conor tire himself out, but the potential is there for Mayweather to do proper damage.

49-0 multi weight champion, top 3 of all time defensively, a guy who's made some of the best boxers of the last 50 years look ordinary vs a 0-0 guy who does MMA. Smugness? I think you mean common sense and logic.

McGregor is much younger, won't get tired. I do expect the first serious punch to knock him the duck out though.

Lets see. Good thing sports are so predictable.

Utter nonsense.. kill you stone dead? In the dark alleyway, yeh?

Floyd's laughing because this isn't some dark alleyway scrap. It's Floyd's stage where he's getting paid an obscene amount of money to show up and show up a complete novice..

Exactly...

Floyd will be absolutely relishing the fact, that Conor is completely hamstrung in this "fight".... he is forced to become a rubbish boxer for the night.

He will love the fact, that he gets to pick apart such a famous star, with 100's of millions watching around the world. While Conor gets more and more frustrated, at not being able to use his full range of fight skills!

It's a bit like watching a cat play with it's food, before killing and eating it. Conor is going to be a very well paid sacrificial lamb, so Floyd can look awesome at his retirement party!

Na don't be like that. How can you suggest some people are being smug by writing McGregor off? He's never had a professional boxing fight and he's fighting a wizard. If the shoe were on the other foot and Floyd and Conor were going to head into the Octagon I'm certain you'd be nowhere to be seen remarking how the smugness of MMA fans in relation to Floyd's chances would be ridiculous.

I literally can't believe how many of lads I know are staying up and/or paying for this event, is it for the craic? or just to see what happens?
Can't get my head around the facts that people are buying into this marketing scam, jaysus talk about being sold a pup!
No wonder they are getting paid millions and laughing up their sleeves when there is so many gullible people out there.
Anyway, night all, going to have a decent nights sleep. Will have no trouble finding out what happens tomorrow

Thats what i mean, it's got nothing to do with boxing or MMA, it's just a piss up.
Still can't believe people part with their hard earned money for this con

I think a lot of professional athletes, even those coming from similar sports such as MMA, can often be very surprised at the levels of fitness and stamina required to go round after round in a boxing ring. I think McGregor's age advantage is negated by his lack of boxing fitness, which will become obvious very early.

What time does under card start

wazzer1 · 26-08-2017 11:58PM

Any idea if box office works on chromecast folks?

Man Vs ManUre · 27-08-2017 12:09AM

Conor via DQ

Am watching on sky box office channel 491.
Anyone know how to get rid of the blue rectangle across as the bottom of the screen showing the channel details??

Stephen Hawkins football boots · 27-08-2017 12:10AM

Is 5.30 reasonable for fight to start ?

Man Vs ManUre · 27-08-2017 12:12AM

Figured it out!! Go Conor.

buzzinfly83 · 27-08-2017 12:14AM

Do you reckon Mcgregor is going to fight in a similar stance as his Mma fights hands low, wide stance. How dya think this will effect the fight.

He doesn't have much experience with using the double jab technique to measure distance so I think that he will use a wider stance to judge the distance and throw some uncertainty at Floyd.

I think that after the first minute or so, he might revert to the "sleeping stance".

i.e. lying on the flat of his back in the middle of the ring while the room swirls around him

Starting to get excited for this one now....

One of the few pro boxers going against the mantra of 'its a mismatch, farce , shouldn't be sanctioned etc etc ' is Andre Ward

Wards picking floyd in 6 , but did say it will insteresting in the early rounds , and I think it will be. I get the impression he doesnt think this will be the cakewalk for floyd most think it will......I like Ward and respect his observations on boxing in general.

People are going on about conor never having had a professional fight like he was a postman who'd never had a professional
Fight. Hes a professional fighter whos never had a professional boxing match. If we get three or four competitive and exciting rounds , even if floyd takes over and stops him, conor loses little stock and it may still be a memorable bout. Floyd has more the more pressure on him i think.

One of the best and most talked about boxing matches ever is hagler hearns and that lasted less than ten minutes and was only really competitive for six.
Both of those guys didnt need all their schooling and experience to serve that up . Hearns cracked hagler hard , broke his hand and was knocked out
In three rounds and people still love him for it.

Its seems a lot of the media and public seem too fixated on saying ' I told you so' if conor only lasts a few rounds instead of waiting to see how it actually
Unfolds.
