Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread

[joebrook]

I really like McGregor, but I think this was an impossible fight for him. MMA is way to different from boxing. Not talking just about the lack of ground fight or kicks, the moves, the fighting stance, the endurance needed, and so many other things are just to different. I think it was a good fight to watch, but I guess we all knew the winner before the fight even started. It would be fun to watch this fight under mma rules.

I think mcgregor stamina poorly, to a technique used mcgregor didn't different with boxers usually. With these defeats, it can be certain mcgregor just the king in mma not in boxing

That's was why he wanted to end the game very early, in the MMA its not about going the distance, that's why they seek to end the match very quickly, he did very though lasting to the 10 rounds and stats even show that he landed even more punches than Pacquiao did in his bout against Mayweather.

This was a farce and I am glad it is over with. The UFC and McGregor fans that are saying McGregor did well are the same ones saying he was going to win by KO, suddenly surviving 10 rounds is wonderful. This was a 40 year old Mayweather coming out of retirement and giving away 20lbs. Not a prime Mayweather, not even close.

the circus was done and everyone have its own opinion about the game and better we move on and find another great drama inside the ring, congrats to
those who believes that connor can survive till the 8 rounds whoever bet on that or if that has been an option surely they win and enjoying giving the
fact that connor don't have any chance to win against Mayweather inside the boxing ring.

I was here last night but I was too busy trying to find a good stream. I went through endless pages, even the Acestream links were buffering a lot for some reason (isnt it supposed to get better the more people watch an Acestream link since its p2p?)

Anyway the fight went as I predicted.. around round 6, the sign of a KO started to show. Floyd started charging him and he chased him down like a rabbit.

Im not gonna lie, the first couple of rounds McGregor made me a bit nervous. His massive long arms and awkward style made Floyd take his time, but then again I was also expecting a couple of rounds like that... but it's not easy to not be nervous when you are losing rounds, then again, that is why Mayweather is 50-0.. he makes a long term investment, he doesn't care to lose the first rounds to execute his gameplan and outbox the guy at the last rounds.

This thread should be locked now because the fight was already done and we no longer need to predict it let we take into some other discussion to a new topics which will be related to a thread.

Conor let us all down, I thought he could do more than this rather it was all talk and I nearly lost had I agreed with a friend over a possible bet. If he knew he lacked stamina he should have worked on it with his team before entering the ring.

[Shinpako09]

Lack of stamina, experienced in boxing, disadvantage, etc. McGregor knew all of that but still kudos to McGregor for being brave and fight Floyd eventhough he ain't a boxer.

Now, the question is, can Mayweather do what Conor did. If Conor challenge him to fight in octagon, will Floyd accept it? Nearly impossible for me.

The "bet on a Mayweather win" was always the safe bet, I know a lot of people now that are kicking themselves and still crying about money loses with this one. McGregor is an excellent talker and a lot of people drank his Koolaid.

If he wants to continue in boxing he needs to fix his problems during the mid rounds when it comes to cardio. He looked good in the first rounds, but let's not forget Mayweather is 40 and was inactive, im not sure if it would be a good idea for him to fight the top younger active fighters, I would stay in the UFC unless it was a Malignaggi fight because after all his beef it would sell well and McGregor would have an ever bigger advantage with reach and weight and Paullie is also inactive... I don't think McGregor could last much with GGG or Canelo etc.

And also notice how Mayweather took some big shots and didn't go down, a lot of casuals underrated Mayweather's chin.

Congratulations to everyone who bet for Mayweather, it was an obvious decision. It has been decided. It was an okay fight, overall, big money.

That's really a great drama over there mate as we can't say nothing but its a big money which been played from the bookies im sure many haters will cry out and many speculations will raise after this game as we all knew that mayweather will win the fight today.

No drama, just real talk. Well, it was a chance for people that could take knowing that it's 1.22 and 3.84 (if I'm correct) with the bookies and it's just too obvious. I did try but oh well, it's not that McGregor could really win unless like everybody said, it's in the octagon.

[mtnsaa]

Exactly as many of us "predicted" McGregor went the distance and the fight was pretty entertaining but when Floyd really started boxing it was over. This sets up a possible rematch where McGregor will state that he'll prepare better and for the little he train he made a great fight. So the hype would be around that narrative "imagine if McGregor trains harder and gets better while Floyd gets a little older".

I hope this doesn't happen really and Floyd can retire in peace but we all know how much these two love money!

[ekin4]

How many people won by Mayweather knock out? This was easy money. I wonder what was sportsbooks thingking while giving odds? This is one of the most obvious wins in sports history. McGregor had no chance. Mayweather deserved the win.

For sure you will be hearing all these excuses even if McGregor wins,everyone will say that Mayweather is old and so is the reason he was defeated,no one gave Conor a chance in later rounds,if he was to win the fight he had to do it before the first five rounds and he could not and Mayweather just picked him apart and finished him in the tenth round.

[tokeweed]

I wonder who, among all of boxing experts here in the thread think, would win if McGregor and Nate Diaz were to fight in the boxing ring.  I bet most of you would think it's an easy fight for McGregor.

Yeah... it's different league which McGregor attempt to accept Weather's challenge
Sometimes I'm wondering why this match can be held although we already know the final result can be predict before the match begin
(Cased different if Weathers versus Pacman on 1 match before )

sadly i bet for mcgregor haha. Lol as expected fight from may weather and even conor can't stand against it. Tho he obviously doing a good job in hitting myweather that hard but realizes when it comes to stamina issues obviously he can't bet mayweather on that.

There will be no rematch... Mayweather can now sit back and relax in retirement with a 50-0 perfect record that will look great on merchandise (t-shirts etc). He has a billionaire real state portfolio, he has these other side businesses.. this is was it, he's done. You can't ask for a better career than that.

Totally impossible. It is almost impossible for MMA or kick boxer to fight against boxer under boxing rules, it is different sport, but it is really impossible for boxing champion to fight under even K1 rules, not to talks about fighting under MMA rules.
All the respect to McGregor for his performance, I knew that he has no chance to defeat Mayweather, but he did his best. From the other side, damn, I would fight for 70 milion dollars with who ever it takes.

Of course. McGregor is a better boxer and that's all there's to say. Diaz is a better grappler, but McGregor is a better fighter in general and a better boxer on top of it. If the fight were to start and end on the ground and they were forced to wrestle through it I'd bet on Diaz, in any other cases it's Conor's fight.

[mrjoy15]

I say Congratulations to Floyd Mayweather for winning against Conor McGregor ! Though, It was rigged  we all knew he was going  to  win.
But for not being  a boxer and only training  for a few months  McGregor went 10 rounds with a guy that  is  supposed to be the best lmfao

[JesVarez]

Conner started really well, it impressed everyone, but we all knew who was going to be the winner that night, Im sorry for those who betted on Mcgregor, he did really well for being his first boxing match, but at the end the GOAT won once again. 50-0.
