Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread

[joshy23]

I predict a Floyd mayweather victory even though I think the fight is going to be boring because all they've done is marketing themselves through the throwing of invectives at each other instead of concentrating on training in order to sell us a great fight.

Have you heard about the change of gloves from 10lbs to 8lbs? It may not seem that much but that could be a game changer there. The only way connor can win in this is by knocking out mayweather and i don't see that happening with a much bigger glove than what he's used to in the ufc. So this in a way raises connor's chances against floyd

The change of gloves will really advantageous to Conor as to Floyd. Conor is has a one punch KO and it he hits Mayweather straight up with 8 oz gloves I think Mayweather will really feel it and could easily be KO so that gloves change put Conor to have a good chance of "punchers" chance here. We all know that Floyd will win this fight though, its that with the gloves chance some bettors might go for Conor for an upset because of this game changer.

mayweather vs mcgregor? lol  its not boxing figth! its money fight. i think this match will defame the true name of boxing. but i dont know why people so enthusiastic with this match

I've never seen mcGregor fight. But if you see a mayweather action in the boxing ring, I think he (mayweather) will dominate the game. Mayweather has a good defense, proven when he beat manny pacquiao. Range of punches from mayweather is also wide enough to make it play very stable. Nothing wrong if mayweather crowned as the best boxer in the world, as well as with the highest income in the world.

Everyone knows that this fight is just all about money and people are wanting to see some more action. We're all off with drama's and we have to see it live who will be knocking it's opponent. They have different playing style and they are into different sports, Floyd is a beast when it comes to money and talks like a duck, he surely will be beaten by McGregor.

Not everyone because not all fans know's the real situation on this fight, the hype is good and people will expect they will
both deliver a good fight. Definitely mayweather will not gonna change his strategy but I want to see Conor do the hard work to try to know him out.

There is an interview with Shane Mosley (the guy that landed the best punch of Mayweather ever) and he said that Conor has no chance. He also said that people underrate how hard Mayweather punches:

It looks like Conor McGregor is fucked to be honest. If Mayweather digs the body for a couple of rounds + some accurate jabs McGregor isn't going to be able to keep up and he may even get KO'd by Mayweather.

McGregor must KO him in the first 4 rounds or else he may get hurt.

I also saw that interview that Shane gave. I think we can't question him because he went toe to toe with Floyd specially in the later rounds and we saw what Mayweather did to him after he hit Mayweather in the face and almost got a KD.

Mayweather will really put a display on this fight, defensively and offensively. I think his punches has been underrated by his opponents but I honestly thinks he hit as hard as anyone from 147-154 lbs specially his overhand right and his vicious left hooks. If any of this two hits Conor square up, he will either go down or Floyd will score a KD.

Imagine if Floyd hits Conor with that.

my bet is may by tko, ko or dq

[leex1528]

Does anyone actually think that McGregor is going to win? 

I sort of want to bet on him getting disqualified.  I think he is going to get frustrated from getting so many small fast quick hits that he is going to be in a pinch and throw a knee or something.  This would also mean that he does not get paid for the fight, and that Mayweather could actually sue him!

I see not all, as if they are thinking that this is a real action match and money isn't the real deal here. But if you are into sports and talking about this people who are making a lot of attraction from the people. You can see on how desperate they are with their promotion and for sure they had enough already and focusing with the real match on Saturday.

Yeah Shane said that there isn't much difference compared to when he fought Canelo, so both Canelo and Floyd hit similar.

Mayweather and McGregor already arrived to Las Vegas, only 3 days to go now. Weight-ins will be on friday 25th. I guess there will be live streams in Youtube. Expecting to see some more drama and funny shit during weights ins and press interviews.

Firas Zahabi is GSP's trainer. He also trained Rory MacDonald, etc. I didn't know Firas Zahabi or any of the big name MMA trainers was into crypto. That is interesting.

McGregor is in it for the money....only the money!  He wont do anything to jeopardize his purse in the fight.  I do think he will be carded and warned, however....I don't see how he will be able to avoid getting tangled up clinching.  He may even accidentily feint some kicks and knees....hopefully he avoids the elbows.  McGregor wont win!

I have doubt that this one aren't real for me it is like they are like making money since they already famous and they want to prove them selves of course Floyd will do everything for him to win his self he will contact mafia again if ever that he will lose the fight and if floyd will face Connor face to face maybe in 2-3 round floyd may be K.O

That is interesting, but the bad part is he is supporting an instamined cryptocoin. Maybe someone should go out there and tell him that Dash is one of the earliest scams in the cryptospace.

Stop with the Mafia bullshit. Its already 2017 and not the 50s'-70's where the sphere of influence of Mafia has far reaching. Do you think that Floyd will dive in this fight just go get money from Mafia?

Anyways, I found articles saying that it Floyd won, making his record 50-0 and breaking Marciano's record of 49. But there are pundits claiming that it should not be official recognized because Marciano has fought all boxers and Floyd fighting Conor which is a MMA fighter should not be counted. What do you guys say?

Conor will come out frustrated in this game because if he cannot knock floyd out which is most likely will happen,
he will get tired after 6 rounds of this fight. Of course this game will end in 12 rounds and the winner is none other than floyd.

[Kemarit]

LOL. The fight is near so expect more hype from this boxing event. No doubt that Conor will be the biggest star on the planet once he got the win. KO or decision? But can he really do it? Floyd legacy in on the line here so I seriously doubt that he will let Conor do this thing from the very first round. On the other hand, this will be Floyd's easiest fight ever. I only give Conor a punchers chance if he is going to upset Floyd here. I wouldn't be surprise if fight fans will complain about the money they paid was not worth because the fight is boring and one sided. 

White: If McGregor KO's Mayweather - He's Biggest Star on Earth!

Dana White is confident Conor McGregor will be "the biggest star on earth" on Saturday by becoming the first man to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr.
UFC superstar McGregor will make his boxing debut in Las Vegas after luring Mayweather out of retirement for the blockbuster event.
Given Mayweather's 49-0 record the former five division world champion has been installed as strong favourite for the fight, but McGregor's odds have continued to come in as the bout draws closer.

And UFC boss White believes McGregor is going to shock the world by knocking out his illustrious opponent, and in turn make him the "greatest combat sports star ever".
"To think Conor can't beat Floyd Mayweather is quite something," White told BBC Sport.
"The naysayers will be asking different questions on Sunday. This is not a boxing match, it's a fight.
"He is completely different to anyone I have ever met. His belief in himself, his fight IQ, if he hits Floyd Mayweather he will hurt him and knock him out.
"Every time I've seen him he is in great shape.
"His legacy will be that he is the greatest combat sports star ever. If he knocks him out he will be the biggest star on earth."

If anything I expect them to put up a show to make it "worth" everybodies money.

I'm looking forward to it, though I'm not sure if I can watch it right away due to the time it is on..
