Mayweather - McGregor

[El Rojo]

Will they be wearing shorts or lycra knickers?

[Captain Turdseye]

I haven't stayed awake all night for a Mayweather fight in years. I don't think this one will be any different.

I guarantee you do 

[Dave D]

McGregor will have a chance in the first 30 seconds only, when he's likely to go apeshit, swinging like a loon in the dog and duck on New years eve after too many babychams.

 

After that, Mayweather should and probably will, knock him clean out

I bet my life it doesn't go down anything like that.

[Captain Turdseye]

We'll see. I didn't stay up for the Pacquaio fight because it was clear how it would go down. It's not hard to come to the conclusion that this one is even more predictable. I'd love to see Floyd get battered just as much the next man but the only doubts here are about wether he wants to KO McGregor or not.

I dont see what choice he has. He can't really try and box him, he'll get picked off

[Carvalho Diablo]

Really wishing i was sitting at a laptop to photoshop some Django unchained pics.

I was thinking Blazing Saddles.

[Dave D]

That said, given the money this is likely to generate, the promoter's will want plenty of mileage out of it, rematch etc.

 

They will probably dance about for at least 5 rounds to give it a semblance of credibility, then go for it 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Press conferences are embarrassing. All the talk is about money.

 

Two absolute bellends.

 

Sums it up pretty nicely. Thank fuck for streamers, no way would I pay to watch this shit. 

[Captain Turdseye]

For what it's worth, I expect that McGregor will be the aggressor for a few rounds whilst landing nothing and getting picked off anyway. Then he'll start blowing out of his arse and at that point it'll end however Mayweather sees fit. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him strut around clearly out pointing McGregor with no real desire to take even the smallest risk by going for the KO.

 

120-108 on all three cards.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Giant Haystacks would beat the pair of them.

[Dave D]

Let Vince McMahon promote it.

 

Make it a cage fight with Stone Cold as ref.  

[Babb'sBurstNad]

May as well make it Thunderdome and have Tina Turner presiding over it.

doubt it, he's been dead for 19 years.

Ive only seen you tube montages of McGregor, good at what he does, but from a boxing perspective he's wide open. What little defence he has, has big enough holes for Mayweather to jump through, let alone get a punch through

He'll keep his distance and play it cool. He's a very smart fighter, he's not going to lose his head. He will believe his movement, distance and timing will give Floyd problems - and it could. He has a significant size and strength advantage, unshakeable belief in his abilities and a fluid style that Floyd has never encountered. It will take a few rounds, at the least, to work him out.

 

It may be that McGregor doesn't land a punch, Floyd comes out of his shell and starts laying it on thick. I can see a late stoppage for Mayweather, for sure. I just don't think it's the foregone conclusion everyone is making out. Conor is a really tricky fighter with genuine knockout power, anything could happen. It probably won't, but it could.

100% McGregor wins at least one round.

What does this achieve for either sport other than raise cash for both fighters? Sky have already ruined Boxing for the likes of me so they might as well have a hand in it with MMA too.

Be Wayne Rooney V Eubank Jnr next year. 

[stringvest]

I really hope Mayweather beats the shit out him.  I suspect though, that it will be like a US TV series.  Manufacture the sort of result that will ensure there are future money-making opportunities.

Here's hoping. 

[KMD7]

I shouldn't want to watch it but I'm intrigued by it all the same.  Press conference was funny

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Has he? Well, at least Big Daddy's still going strong.

[moof]

I really hope Mayweather beats the shit out him.

Why? Just curious.

 

I don't get the hate for McGregor. Working class, cocky as fuck Irish lad, worked his way up from the very bottom to the point where he's already conquered a sport and is set to be part of the biggest PPV fight of all time (at the ripe old age of 28). I think it's a great story.

 

I hope he knocks Mayweather clean out in the first round.
