Maycgregor
« on: June 18, 2017, 10:24:04 AM »
         Anyone interested in this upcoming fight? Predictions?

         I feel it will be some kind of stoppage by Mayweather.  While he doesn't have much of a reputation as a power puncher his conditioning will be great and I think there will be a limit to how many punches Mcgregors corner will let him take.  Not really a fan of either of them but the realist in me will be surprised if Connor can even make it competitive.

McGregor all the way.
MMA is not boxing.  McGregor will learn the hard way about defense.
He is used to landing bombs on guys with limited defensive skills and the 10 ox gloves will slow him down that much more.
Both will win though, all the way to the bank.

"Money Fight" goes down tomorrow night guys.
Weigh in today done now for the 154 lb weight limit.  Mayweather came in comfortable at 149.5lbs and McGregor at 153 lbs. 
McGregor will come in the ring a lot bigger and was already drinking fluids immediately after weighing in.

My bet (no money lol) is on Mayweather.  If Canelo Alvarez couldn't hurt Floyd, no way in hell Conor will.
If Conor does win by some unimaginable way, Vegas will be broke.  ;)

          Gonna be something to see I think,  still taking Mayweather to win and don't think it will go the distance. 

          Would be neat to see Mcgregor win though, there would be some exploding heads in the boxing world hehe.

Logic would give Mayweahter the advantage the fight is being fought in his craft. If he loses I would be very disappointed.

Fight went pretty much as expected.  I was surprised McGregor's cardio killed him in the end, not so much his ring experience.  Mayweather's game plan, efficient boxing, and superior skill showed.

According to the pundits it went pretty well as
prognosticated. Macgregors conditioning seemed
 to be in question . Those UFC matches are usually
 short and sweet . Mayweather is a master defender
  I remember when he fought Gatti , it was brutal ,
  his counterpunch game is really second to none !
  Both laughing all the way to the Bank .

Conor should demand a rematch.

This time in the octagon. ;)

            Mccregor did a little better than expected but I feel in reality he was getting the best of a much older and patient fighter just getting into the swing of it in the early rounds.  I found Mayweathers post fight comments pretty interesting in regards to Mccregors lack of power. 

            In the end it all went as expected, the irishman never really had a chance.  If Mayweather were to come over to the octagon it would be over a lot quicker, and even he has admitted that.  Don't think we'll ever see it though, Mayweather would be to chicken and the UFC would have to pay him a shit load more than they've paid anyone.  To the extent that there would be a revolt among the roster imho.  The majority of UFC fighters are already underpaid.  It's probably hard enough for them to stomach Mccregor getting paid what he does for nothing more than being a spectacle.  There's a couple fighters waiting to take his ligthweight belt from him and if they get the chance I think Mccregors run will be relatively short compared to the greats like Silva and St. Pierre.

            Speaking of Silva, now there's a guy who in his prime might have actually had a good chance of boxing a boxer.  His timing is something we may never see again.
