It is official now that 8oz gloves will be used in the fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9bQF0BLs8c A lot of people are saying that this benefits McGregor because he is the big puncher in this fight. But it's not clear to me. Now Mayweather's hands are even faster, and receiving sharp punches repeatedly can be more painful than a single big shot. I think nothing has changed, Mayweather is still the fighter with the better odds. Floyd has fought most of his fight at 8oz anyway. If you just want to talk in Gayweather's favour ,please do but don't come up with irrelevant logic to support your opinions.Attack has never been Gayweather's game so regardless of the gloves,he's still going to run around like a rat.On the brighter side,McGregor is known to punch non-stop until the target is down.I can't wait to see him taking this rat down. Ehh, Mayweather has more wins by KO's than McGregor's total fight amounts. Only because he hasn't KO'd out anyone for a long time, it doesn't mean he can't KO someone if that someone is an amateur boxer compared to him. If McGregor's defense isn't on point, repeated hits to the head and body for 8+ rounds can put you into the canvas. Can McGregor KO Mayweather? Sure, if he's lucky enough, but people saying the opposite is impossible must be boxing casuals. Have you even boxed anyone skilled in real life?

Like I said before, 8oz benefiting McGregor is not clear to me. The extra padding on 10oz could help Mayweather from Conor's power, but 8oz makes Mayweather even faster, and this could keep Conor away from going against the ropes and trying to turn the fight into a brawl, so Mayweather could implement his hit and run wizard moves even better with the smaller gloves. It's only 1 week away, i can't fucking wait for this hypejob to be over. Im not going to miss it im sure of that.

Conor is accustomed to 4 oz. finger-less gloves. Lighter gloves generally favor heavier punchers, but Floyd will be faster with 8 ounces gloves. But he has less gloves to cover his face when Conor hits him. Smaller gloves favor Conor here, so I think this will affects the fight big-time. With that said, I think Floyd will not go toe to toe with Conor but will used hit and duck strategy. And when Conor is frustrated, he's defense will open up, and Floyd will go for the kill.

Very interesting indeed. I think big hitters favors light weight gloves. I know Manny Pacquiao is comfortable using 8 oz. gloves because he is a power hitter. Another interesting thing to mentioned is that that Nevada State Athletic Commission has somewhat bent their rules regarding the used on 8 oz gloves for this fight. They went to have one time exception of using 8 oz gloves. Association of Boxing Commissions rules require boxers to wear 10-ounce gloves in any bout contested above the welterweight limit of 147 pounds. Anyways, I'm also hype around this fight, can't wait to see who's ass gonna be whoop. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Me too!! GayWeather is known for his defense when he is boxing low-key boxers like Manny.Gregor ain't no joke,UFC wrestlers are more brutal towards punches and knockouts.Little does GayWeather know about the rules anyway. Doesn't really matter.You put a Lion in the cage with a leather hunter master or silver chain master,he's still the Lion in the ring.

I would really like to see McGregor pull an upset on Mayweather but then again when you think of it there is a reason why Floyds boxing career stands at 49-0 ...the lad is defensively good and equally good when on the attack, then my only doubts on McGregor is he going to be disciplined enough as he hasn't mastered the sport and might be tempted to use some MMA moves on FLOYD which might cost him...

The days of the long expected match is getting closer. This is entirely because of the good fighting statistics that users have got. I don't have plans of making betting over any of the player as the price of a bitcoin is high as well I'm not that aware about the gambling.

Again more trash from boxing casuals that think being good at MMA = being good at boxing. Mayweather is a complete fighter. He can fight going forward, backwards, in the pocket, off the ropes, in the clinch, at mid-range, behind the philly shell, behind a high guard, against swarmers, against southpaws, against bigger fighters, against faster fighters, and anything else I forgot to mention. McGregor is no different, he will adapt for a couple of rounds then perform surgery on him. McGregor often cites Prince Nassem as an inspiration... Prince Nassem got exposed and so did the entire "unorthodox, weird" style that he had going once he fought a top boxer. I suspect this will end up the same. The only thing that can stop Mayweather is his age showing up on the match, but it looks like he is in good shape. So stars will need to align for McGregor to get a KO during the first rounds if he wants to win, otherwise it will get exponentially harder.

Can McGregor KO Mayweather? Sure, if he's lucky enough, but people saying the opposite is impossible must be boxing casuals.
Have you even boxed anyone skilled in real life?
Most of the fights i watched with McGregor ,every time i see it as a lucky punch at first and then after carefully viewing then we would know that he is looking for that punch,what if the reflex is not that great with age with Mayweather,can he be tagged and if so,will that be a lucky punch in regard to his age. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I have boxed as an amateur but the level of Mayweather is another planet when it comes to pure boxing skills and if this fight was in both their primes then there is no way McGregor could catch him in any way shape or form.

Im not overlooking McGregor, he is great, but honestly, to KO Mayweather in a boxing match with a 0-0 pro boxing record you are going to need some luck. Jose Aldo walked in McGregor's punch, I doubt Mayweather will commit the same mistake. He says he will come forward, I think he will but not as much as Jose Aldo which like I said parked his face on McGregors punch, big mistake when he has the bigger reach. Floyd will be a bit more aggressive than usual but he will not do anything stupid just to entertain the casuals.

I haven't seen or watched any Conor Mcgregor's fights but I guess he really has a potential to beat mayweather, I am a boxing fan at the same time an MMA fan but since I am not a fan of mayweather I would rather choose Mcgregor to bet on over him ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) we all know that mayweather has more experience than mcgregor when it comes to boxing but I think an MMA fighter has much strength and power punches . A week to the fight between McGregor vs. Mayweather. The fight will use a 12 round boxing rule. This has obviously been Mayweather's advantage because he lives in boxing and becomes one of the best. But I personally still want to see the winning McGregor.

Boxing is more of a sport than a battle --> it's more of an art than brawl --> it's more of a science than a war! Mayweather has mastered the sport while McGregor is just getting started. I think Mayweather's age is more of an asset here than a liability because now we can add "wisdom" to his professional boxing resume'. McGregor would be better off challenging Diaz in the boxing ring; Diaz just got his boxing license too.

I really don't see how McGregor can win against Mayweather, for starters it will basically be the end of boxing as a sport basically, although that already started many years ago. If an MMA fighter is better than an active boxing legend then you know the sport is a joke. I know Mayweather is old (it's not that old either for boxing) but that's no excuse, he's been praised as one of the best, perhaps the best defensive boxer of all times.
Now what I think will happen: McGregor will hang in there for a couple of rounds while Mayweather test him, McGregor may even land a couple of punches (nothing major) to the surprise of the audience. Eventually Mayweather will start attacking and may even may him go down a few times but no KO. He will most likely win as a technical decision or by points (by far) and McGregor will keep his dignity and a rematch will be in the cards (more money!).

The odds are stacked up against Conor McGregor in this match. I can’t imagine how he’d stand a chance against Mayweather, where 49 legit boxers have failed and can’t even figure out how to solve the Mayweather puzzle. This would be more of a circus and the hype this fight is going to generate is what’s going to make it exciting, not the actual fight itself. This might not even go the distance as Conor isn’t used to fighting longer than 25 minutes.
Conor has: -Height advantage -Reach advantage -Age advantage -Power advantage (allegedly, for we don't know how strong his punches will be on boxing gloves) That's about it. He has to use his advantages and try to KO him in the first rounds. If it goes beyond round 5... things will become increasingly impossible for Conor. Mayweather will keep distance for the first round, then jab him into desperation and get the most points. If he gets caught in a bad angle, Mayweather can KO him too. When you catch someone in a bad angle doing the wrong movement, you don't need tremendous power to KO. Mayweather used to have it all when he was young, KO power too, not anymore, but again, he still can punch with enough power to KO someone if he's caught in the wrong moment Conor is probably an Olympian level boxer at best, so he will make a lot of mistakes. McGregor is not even an Olympian level boxer....He's just a brawler. Mayweather will pick this guy apart ---> easily. Mayweather is not a brawler so he wouldn't stand a chance in the octagon, but its his fight, on his terms, in the ring, so it's his fight. And, Mayweather's age is probably an asset in the ring as opposed to a liability, but his age would be a clear disadvantage in the octagon ----> experience and wisdom carry a lot of weight in the ring, not so much in the octagon.
