Local sports radio guy here in Dallas says McGregor can beat Floyd because...

I dont know man, 10oz gloves make a difference on his power, Chris Van Heerden said Conor didnt have power when he sparred him. Conor looked slow, the only advantage Conor has is size, youth and reach, he actually has longer arms than Floyd and is a southpaw. But he is too slow, Floyd only has to avoid the left hand. Watch for that bolo upper-cut.

I know you got a rep for wanting to come to dude's cities to whoop their ass :lol1: whatever I said I didn't mean it dude, I was just drunk I swear :alcoholic lol..naw man...

He said he didn't feel him with 16oz gloves, you don't feel Mike Tyson with 16oz gloves lol , Connor has got power and he will have power in 10s. 10oz gloves are more concussive than 8s, 8s are a little quicker and get through a smaller gap, very little between 8oz and 10oz gloves in pro boxing.

The talent pool in kickboxing is paper thin and Schilling has a glass chin. yeah Schiling has really good skills but his chin is glass, dude has one of the worst chins, but his skills are insane he is really good from what I seen but man he gets touched clean he sleeps fast.

of course hes not going to bet against may. talking up connor brings more listeners. Honestly dude, and I could be wrong, but I 100% believe this guy in particular believed what he was saying. Like I said before the dismissive tone that he/they speak of when it comes to boxing leads me to believe that they think it's a skill-less sport where two guys just put on gloves and trade haymakers in a phone booth. And this guy of course is just a random guy, his opinion by itself is meaningless and irrelevant but my point of this thread is...there's a whole lot of motherf**kers just like him. And that'll be reflected once the smoke clears and the PPV numbers are added up.

how much money will radio guy be putting on mcbeggar ? Idk didn't say if he was brave enough to put his money where his mouth is, but he did say that he was getting the fight even if it runs $100, and admitted that he hasn't got an actual boxing fight in some 20 years. Like people have said these are the types of people that they're counting on to bring in the mega dollars for this sh*t. These people wouldn't give a fight like Canelo/GGG or Ward/Kovalev 2 one second worth of consideration but they'll happily drop a hundred on this circus...backwards ass world we live in

The guy who does the interviews on the Mayweather youtube channel actually said to Jeff Mayweather that Conor punches harder than anyone Floyd has ever faced. Can't tell if he was serious or not though.

No offense, but that's a stupid comparison. Pick two sports that are more alike, at least. BTW here's one (regarding the sports, not the age thing)... Hisaki Kato vs Joe Schilling in Kickboxing Schilling was Ranked #4 and former Middleweight Champ in Kickboxing. Kato was 0-0 in Kickboxing and only a decent MMA fighter with a 6-2 record This is what happened... The championship level Kickboxer is the one laid-out on the canvas... http://www4.cdn.sherdog.com/_images/pictures/20160626022816_1DX_4196.JPG http://fcfighter.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Joe_Schilling.jpg The talent pool in kickboxing is paper thin and Schilling has a glass chin.

you live in Dallas?? ill be down there next month http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/joaquin-phoenix-shock-signs.gif Damn homie I didn't sh*t talk you when I was drunk recently or anything did I?

I saw Paulie Malignaggi going back and forth with a hardcore fan on Twitter. The guy said something stupid and Paulie said something that made so much sense, he said: There are people who what this shit every weekend and still have no idea what they're watching. Think about people that write about boxing and people that call the fights. When it comes to breaking down the fight how many of them really know what they're watching? Out of those that do know what they're watching (former fighters and trainers) how many can properly articulate it to the audience? Maybe just Roy Jones Jr and Paulie. In other sports you have former players and coaches doing the color commentary and a broadcaster doing the play by play. People don't realize how much John Madden's telestrator helped the average fan when it comes to the technical side of football. And also video games. Fans know all the defensive and offensive schemes. The guys doing the color commentating can break down the plays and they guys doing the play by play call the plays correctly. Lampley can't even call the correct punch being thrown and he calls punches that miss. Now think about the writers. Fat Dan is the most known boxing writer. You never see him at gyms talking to fighters unless it's fight week. He sits at home and calls his sources about fight news or waits for them to call him. He can't break down a fight and he can't score a fight. Most writers have no idea what they're watching so they can't articulate it to the fans. That's why we get so much "all Floyd does is run and hug" "Ward is a clincher". They don't know the subtleties or nuances. So fans think it's just two guys in the ring throwing punches at each other. They've seen McGregor throw punches at guys and KO them so they think he can do the same to Floyd if "Floyd doesn't run and hug". The boxing media is to blame for these casuals thinking Conor has a chance because they watch this shit every weekend and have no idea what they're watching and the fans take their word for it. yeah well said, great post

My little brother (who follows MMA and only watches big boxing fights) seems to think McGregor has a shot because Floyd is old. I told him that's a lot like picking a young MLB pitcher to outdo an old NFL quarterback. Sure the pitcher is younger and is used to throwing, which probably makes him more suited for being a QB than a random guy on the street. But all that muscle memory and pitching practice will be hard to convert into the kind of passing skill that a QB who has been drilling it down their whole life would have.

"If McGregor can focus for a few months on solely training for just boxing, he can win." Just heard him say it on the way home. I know this is just one dumb f**k among millions who are deluded enough to believe this, but...jeezus, man. Are human beings this f**king retarded? Floyd has been in the boxing game his ENTIRE life. Are people really ignorant enough to believe that one can go train for a few months on something and not only master it, but be better than someone who has lived and breathed it for their entire life? What the f**k is wrong with people?? This is why the fight is going to sell so much, because of people like this, he says that and people may start to think "Wow I guess he could" and next thing you know this fight sells 3 million PPVs and Floyd wins easily either way.

I'll be around. I'm excited to see what the fuuk happens, even if it's a complete whitewash, I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I'm not here to talk shht. But would happen around here if Conor even just rocks Floyd (let along drops Floyd (let along KO's Floyd))??? What would be your reaction? My reaction would be anger for me not putting money on Conor in Vegas. It is not going to happen. He will be swinging at air all fight and be winded by the sixth round.

What the f**k is wrong with people?? MMA and boxing is just fighting to the casuals, and this fight is not a case of Connor coming from a life devoted to table tennis so its easy to see how casuals can think he can beat a 40 yr old Floyd. Boxing or stand up is a huge part of MMA they all train boxing as part of the skill set Connor is not totally green as people try to make out he has no idea of boxing. I see it like a GP rider having a go at driving a F1 car, they don't win but do ok when in a F1 car, many have beaten guys that raced f1 their whole life. If Connor can land his best shot he could get lucky, very unlikely but its a possibility, that's the thing with fighting one punch can end it. Another guy while on racing is the world champion race game driver of Iracing, he was given a chance to drive the real indy car as an experiment and he ran better times than guys that had years of Indy racing, and this kid had only ever raced on a computer never a real car.

Absolutely... by far. The discipline and training levels are far superior as well. Guys been doing this his entire life. By the time McGregor he had his first amateur MMA fight, Floyd was training to fight De La Hoya. I'm stunned anyone is picking McGregor, and I'm one of the MMA guys here. It's an absolute farce. The Athletic Commission that signed off on this joke has no shame whatsoever.

I'm pretty sure Floyd's sparring partners are better than McGregor is. Absolutely... by far. The discipline and training levels are far superior as well. Guys been doing this his entire life. By the time McGregor he had his first amateur MMA fight, Floyd was training to fight De La Hoya.

Just make sure you come back once Floyd barely breaks a sweat after slapping Conor around for as long as it last. I'll be around.

I live in Dallas as well....let's make it a threesome with Mike D... Well maybe that's awkward ... we can all link up if ya'll want..maybe hit a bar
