In the press conference Conor said no Mexican or horse hair gloves allowed. Floyd pulled the same sh*t he did with Maidana. He let Pac and Guerrero wear them why not let a UFC fighter do it? Floyd already every advantage in skill interesting, Floyd seems a bit concerned of the power.
pfffff eddie could not even see staight. Connor could have killed him with 4 more clean shots.
Connor knocked nate down with authority who is a big dude 6'0 walks around at like 200
Yea everything I said was ridiculous Mcgregor can hit harder in boxing gloves than,pacquiao,marquez, canelo, mosley, maidana, cotto, oscar,ortiz and its only going to take him 8 months to achieve what they all failed to do with 20+ years experience because he only needs to land 1 of his super power special punches ect ect
No wonder this fight will do crazy numbers people are so easily fooled by hype jus watch 5 minutes of mcgregors boxing sparring bunch of clowns
his powers way overrated even eddie alvarez said he aint heavy handed it was the speed of the shots that surprised him
the aldo fight has given the illusion he has some monster power sure he has decent power but it aint touch ppl and they go to sleep power

theres no they or want.
its required by the NSAC. They could wear 8 oz at 147 and then guess what, everyone would by crying that floyd drained him.
This is a unique fight so they could chnage rules. 10 oz fine but no Reyes or mx gloves? Not that it would make a difference but Floyd paranoid enough to not even let him wear that.
Conor was saying they want 10 oz gloves i have no problem then they say no Mexican or horse hair gloves he also doesn't have a problem with that.
Floyd then said he would fight with 4oz if Conor wants or in mma lol.

looking at mcgreggor fighting stand up in mma isnt a good predictor. its stand up, its not boxing.
Now the funny thing is, from all of the boxing sparring ive seen of mcgreggor, he uses almost the same stance when boxing, he looks like hes ****ing fencing or just came out of the 1890s barenuckle era. People pointed out that hes still staying low like he would in mma to resist take downs. His habits are already set, the guy cant box for **** and that isnt really his fault. you cant learn to box at even a B level in the year hes been considering this fight. he looks like complete chit against the C level no name guys he spars.

Floyd got subjected to that with Oscar. Then he did it to everyone he's had the opportunity. There's an element of gamesmanship to this stuff clearly.
If Floyd was smart he would have let Conor use the little gloves. It would have generated more everything had they done that.
That's Floyd. He's going to take/get everything he can.
What is the specific news of the gloves?

To be fair, i rarely take some fighters word as Gospel.
Curtis Stevens tried to say he didn't rate GGG's power...

He was known for his power way before the Aldo fight.
Hes been knocking people out since he got in the game and his KO rate is over 80%.

How mant actual boxers has he knocked out? I dont care about chit tier mma fighters.
Mcgregor definitely hits hard (at least enough to hurt a small, old floyd early) you can see it in his form, he's very strong and punches through, all that strength though limits his power for only about 5-10 minutes. Floyd is old as sht, unless he gets a pro like ariza or gets on some high grade good stuff he's going to show up even worse than he did vs berto, so he wont hit as hard as mcgregor, but mcgregor is weak chinned and he'll be very susceptible to being hurt from the midpoint on.
Floyd just has to jab mcgregor for a few rds to wait out his power and "footwork" than start working him and dominate.
Fight is going to be boring as sht.
Agreed, I notice a few things about Mcgregor's punching:
1. He winds up so much that he throws wide punches that are slow as hell

2. He steps through so far that if he misses at all he's completely off balance, out of position, with a wide open chin.

3. He's got no snap on his punches at all, just slow pushing punches.
The bigger deal to me isn't his power it's his speed.
As far as I can tell Mcgregor is slow as ****. This guy has no speed on any of his punches at all.
If Mcgregor is that slow even with 4 oz gloves, like you said he's not going to touch Floyd with 10 oz gloves.
So no, Floyd ain't worried :rofl:
Isn't that the general consensus though? We all agree he should win this easy. I would actually buy this circus show if they fight a boxing match but wear mma gloves. But to put Conor in power locks like Maidana what is the point when you let Pac fight in Reyes? For a guy he should not be worried about he seems to want to make sure theres 0% something goes wrong.
That's Floyd. He's going to take/get everything he can.

Absolutely not. I think Floyd is more worried about how people are going to react when he easily dominates McGregor. There are going to be a lot of upset casuals out there.

BS over the glove weight. It's licensed as a Boxing match by NSAC and are using Uniform Rules of Boxing: over 147# must use 10 ounce gloves. They can use any 10 oz. boxing gloves approved by NSAC unless otherwise specified in their contracts.
It's confusing because I see him hit the bag and I dont see this power either. Then again that's all irrelevant, it's all about timing and how well one places their shots. I don't doubt that Mayweather may actually hit harder.
