Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread

[angrybirdy]

Voting for McGregor because of his badass attitude. If he wins then for sure it'll be a very deep hole for Floyd. If he lose to Floyd, I hope they will have a rematch in the Octagon.

According to pacman, he will favor floyd in his fight against mcgregor because it is done in boxing and not in MMA, I am pretty sure the favorites will win this game but I hope it will be entertaining also. You are right, there should be a rematch in octagon if floyd will win but I doubt he will agree with it, this guy does not fight when he has no advantage.

if things went to his favor for sure floyd will quit and grab everything and never think of fighting back like what he did with pacquiao nothing will change
with his attitude floyd is just for money and nothing else, hopefully we got entertain even in short period of time.

Mayweather for this match because it is boxing. Although we cannot disregard mcgregor as a boxing artist too. Pretty exciting match-up.

I am for Connor in this fight. He is one of the best mma fighter that we have all time. And a Mayweather loss may lead to another Pacquiao Mayweather fight.

Im afraid McGregor will be completely outboxed by mayweather. Boxing is such a different discipline as you don't need to protect against leg kicks and takedowns.

Only the stance of McGregor will put him at a disadvantage.

Ofcourse he can score a lucky KO punch, but I think he just put up a big mouth to get the fight and cash out more than he has ever done in his MMA carreer combined.

A nice video comparing the different statistics of both fighters:

There's more and more hype daily. I can't wait to see what happens.

Mayweather has been boxing undefeated prospects on their early 20's, and they say Mayweather is looking as sharp as always at age 40. If that is the case then I think Conor is fucked unless he gets lucky with a quick KO somehow.

But you should also consider that Conor is a master of playing with the crowd. Does he know he is not going to win versus Floyd? Yes he does. But does he know how to make Floyd look like a loser even if Floyd wins? Yes.

Conor will ridicule Floyd making him look like a person who is scared of real fighting.

All that matters is what happens on the boxing ring in august 26th, everything else is just bullshit. I doubt Conor can ridicule Floyd Mayweather in a boxing ring, no one has been able to do this. Even at age 40, Conor will not be able to do anything against Floyd's masterful technique. Floyd couldn't care less if he would destroyed in an MMA fight, we all know that, this is about boxing.

I will put my bet on mayweather, since its a boxing match. mayweather is a great technical fighter and know how to win on a match.
The dirty tactics of mayweather always works and always gives him the judge decision and upper hand against his opponent.

Conor brought in Manny Pacquiao's sparring partner Dashon Johnson to prepare him for the Floyd fight.

People underestimate Conor and what he's capable of. If Floyd makes that mistake he could regret it.

Wow. Connor Mcgregor is really taking this seriously guys. I think its all for the money and glory. He is making this fight very competitive eventhough this is a boxing match and give Floyd alot of disadvantage. I will follow every news about this fight before making a bet. But by the looks of it, I give Connor a chance to beat Floyd.

Conor is also sparring with boxer Paulie Malignaggi.

There isn't video of them sparring, only audio unfortunately:

No video because i'm pretty sure that slickster Pussy Malignaggi is schooling and beating the hell out of Connor. This fight only excites casual boxing fans and maybe some hardcore people but with interests.

New footage of Mayweather training on the 2 end bag:

He looks as sharp as ever at age 40 showcasing some cat-like reflexes. I think Conor is pretty much fucked unless moons align and he manages to land a full blown left on Mayweather's head... good luck with that.

You have to understand one thing,McGregor is going to fight professionally for the first time in his career boxing career and that too against a fighter who is 49 and 0. The notion that McGregor is a boxing artist is quite laughable,he is a MMA fighter and not a boxer even at the amateur level.

He can by not engaging Floyd and try to show the crowd that he is not a real fighter. Conor can also do it like Cody Garbradnt or Nick Diaz by lying down on the floor and doing other crazy stuff, ridiculing and disrespecting Floyd and the sport of boxing.

10 oz gloves are gonna take away from Conor's precision and power. Mayweathers little rabbit punches aren't gonna do shit to someone who is used to get hammered with 4 oz glove by larger guys. My guess is the only way Conor wins is by KO, I think it will probably go the distance and NV is a boxing state and a very corrupt state(Former NV resident), no matter how good he looks any decision will favor mayweather.

In MMA fighters get in some brutal situations, but there's a reason a lot more people die in boxing fights and no in MMA: If you aren't good in boxing, you are going to get hit in the head a bunch of times during 12 rounds. A TKO ends the fight, but repeated jabbing on the head can really fuck you up long term. In MMA usually if you go down it's game over, in boxing you get the countdowns, some fighters go up again and keep fighting after being KO'd a bunch of times. This repeated brain concussion overtime is what creates these boxers that cannot properly talk, this is why Mayweather is looking fine at 40, he didn't take as much damage.

The experts say that Mayweather is an expert at defensive boxing and will score enough points to win while avoiding McGregor's punches. That's probably what will happen, but no one knows how good McGregor will be in this kind of fight. It will probably be a boring fight that goes the distance.

I've never seen a conor fight that went boring. His a*shole attitude and junkee fighting style makes his match very exciting. I'd love to see how far Floyd's patience can go.

yeah lets wait if how quick Floyd will run and how long he will just do the sparring thing to McGregor as we knew the style that he had
just one strong punch and it be so entertaining for all the fans and gamblers that will bet with this fight.

Yes. Conor will make the boxing world think their sport is boring, their pound for pound best is boring and that it is time to change all that. He will go out there, win or lose and will try to change all that.

The fight itself might have less action but there could be a lot of trash talking and ridiculing coming from Conor to
make Floyd look like a scared winner.
