Conor isn't lying when he says Floyd is older and brittle now and he can barely punch. Floyd has all the pressure on him, he needs money because the IRS is after him, and hes fighting the most confident man hes ever fought. Floyd is now in his 40s and has not fought in years.
Conor McGregor is young and unorthodox, with lightning fast reflexes and lightning fast hands. He is a Bruce Lee-esque striker with a sledge hammer for a left hand. A knockout rate at nearly 90%.
Conor McGregor will also be the biggest and longest fighter Floyd has ever fought. And by far the hardest puncher Floyd has ever fought. He will come at Floyd from weird angles that Floyd has never seen.
This fight will not last more than 4 rounds. Conor is going to hit Floyd with a left hand that will send him falling with head head bouncing off the canvas. It will be over quick.
Floyd has never fought anyone who has a wide karate styled stance like Conor and moves the way Conor moves.

In defense of Floyd he rarely has fought people with longer reach but I'm sure Floyd could deal with longer reach, just Floyd never took risks if he could help it.
So I'm not sure Connors longer reach will help. But if the spirit of Bruce Lee is in Connor, Floyd's in trouble
It wont be strikes in the real sense where you can use and hit with many body parts, just the gloves which curtails it down to just punches with gloves to legal areas and nullifies the full strike definition.
When they first discussed it, it would be 8oz gloves but 10oz will favor Floyd even more.
I'm going to watch a stream of the fight....even if it is a sizzling undercard which I doubt, it is not even worth $19.99.
Striking is striking....but I understand what you mean...as in no elbow, spinning back fists, forearms, hammerfists ,etc....something tells me that Connor will do something to make Floyd second guess him...(eg: feignt a leg kick to throw Floyd off).
10 oz gloves are mandatory for any fight over the welterweight limit....they can discuss this until they are blue in the face, but it is always 10 oz.
I'm streaming this circus...no way would I pay for this-lol.....GGG/ Canelo on the other hand is worth a ppv tag.
A-yes, he is allowed to strike with his fists.
B-Connor is wearing 10 oz gloves. This is 154.
C-I agree after about 3-4 rounds his power will be faded. I'm not even sure Connor is a bigger puncher than Mosely, Canelo, Pacquiao, Oscar, Corrales, etc etc.....People act like Floyd has never fought punchers. lol
Connor may make it awkward due to his rhythm being different than a boxer's, but after a few rounds (once Floyd belts off the rust and finds a groove) Mayweather will show the difference.It wont be strikes in the real sense where you can use and hit with many body parts, just the gloves which curtails it down to just punches with gloves to legal areas and nullifies the full strike definition.

I hate to embarrass the sht out of you but A) Conor is not allowed to strike in this fight, B) Conor is not wearing 4 oz gloves, he is wearing 8 oz gloves which means C) diminished power. If Floyd had been wearing 4 oz gloves for his last 10 fights, he would have 10 KO's. Show us the KO's where Conor is wearing 8 oz gloves. You do realize this is going to be fought as a boxing match, right???

Conor will 1 punch KO Floyd and then all the haters' alarm clocks will go off as they come to grips on Sunday with Floyd Mayweather being 50-0 (27 KOs). This is laughable.

Idk I'm drunk.
It's only 1025 what time did you start
Are people forgetting how McGregor lost to Diaz? McGregor was hurt on the feet several times by punches. He couldn't handle it and took it to the ground
Diaz is even longer and bigger than Conor and that fight was at 170lbs. And even in that fight he was outboxing him until he gassed himself out.
Conor soundly outboxed him in the rematch at a more fair weight.
Posting gifs of dudes lunging in out of position and squaring up isn't gonna convince anyone of your worries.
This true. You got guys that look horrible standup that make Conner look great. You think Fraud has EVER looked like that? The man is always in a defensive stance ready to move backwards than forward. The last thing he would do is stand straight up to Conner that way.
It's either Conner by miracle KO or Jr. in another boring, run for your life UD.
What most people fail to realise is MCGREGORS STANCE and movement will shock Floyd. McGregor will be moving down low and throwing punches from the weirdest angles, he will KO Floyd within 2. People need to ****ing get it thru their head.
Laughable. The OP really tried to lay it on thick. But no.
We're talking about the sweet science, an intricate art.
A competitive match would be awesome, but Conor is no boxer. Just accept it make your life easier. Floyd is going to be smiling at him all night long. Or for however long he lets it go on.
