Conor will be doing jumping punches, spins, nothing Floyd has ever seen. Conor will embarrass Floyd, its going to be hilarious. His going to show boxing a whole new arsenal and change boxing forever.
Cowardly deflection from a weak and cowardly man.
If you didn't understand the question why didn't you just ask instead of gettin all emotional and sh'it? You puss.
I obviously meant style you utter imbecile.
How do you explain their success?
You clown.
Plenty of fighters have watched pros then decided boxing was easy and gone on to be champions with no regard what so ever
for all that b0llocks you went on about.
Many guys became great fighter without needing your "150 years of evolved progression"
You're pathetic.
YOU ABSOLUTE FOOL!
You call me a coward but you haven't the guts or intregrity to actually name names or say anything specific that I can respond to?
Just vague crap that could mean anything, and cowardly insults from the safety of your home?
Now be a man .. name me one guy who ever saw that boxing was easy and won a top level pro boxing title without enrolling at a bona fide boxing gym and being trained for years by a bona fide, qualified boxing coach, and without working his way up to world class level via multiple learning fights in the amateurs or as a novice pro ...
One name! I'll give you a while to think about it and realise that you are the clown in this thread, not me.
Oh sure I'm not saying he's not getting paid, but I mean PAID. Like for a Canelo rematch PAID. Or some fight like that where he'd make $5M, maybe $8M or 8 digits. I think thats the game he's playing ultimately not this $1M, $2M a fight game.
Its the most entertaining event (not just fight) of August 26. And not sure what you even mean with the rest of your remarks. I don't give a f#ck that anyone is money grabbing. Cotto is trying to money grab at the level he's at & Floyd is money grabbing at the level he's at. Canelo is money grabbing at the level hie's at & traded money for potential face of boxing status the last couple years by not taking on legit challengers. Sadly the sport is about money grabs at this level far too often. Doesn't make the Cotto fight more interesting to me than the 24/7 for Canelo vs GGG.
And? Not sure how this is relevant to anything except your own money situation.
And? Like I said I'm still looking forward to 24/7 Canelo vs GGG more than this fight. We disagree thats all. Fair play to you, but fair play to me to for feeling how I feel.
Idk why money spent is so important to anything being discussed, but I'll probably be somewhere with a crowd or at someones house to watch the whole Floyd vs Conor card (like Tank + think the alleged Jack vs Cleverly fight could be interesting) since this is such an event fight unlike anything we see in boxing very often (Floyd vs Manny was the last event fight & Floyd vs Canelo & Floyd vs ODLH were probable the times previous to that with Tyson fights being the main event fights before that) & ignore the other two "events" of that night til the day after. And after I watch the post fight presser for Floyd vs Conor & see Conor challenging Floyd to a fight on his turf, the cage, I'll watch 24/7 & then maybe the next week I'll dig up the Cotto fight. If Cotto loses I might dig it up sooner, within a couple days probably.
Just sharing the kind of PPV's I pay for. Nothing intended. I'm a boxing fan. I just pay for good quality fights. Nothing more than just explaining what I pay for that's all. Just sharing, no biggie. (You remember the old days, PPV's were for fights that were between fighters in which you really had no idea who was going to win, I miss those days, now anything and everything is on PPV now, SMH)
I agree May-Mac is definitely the biggest event that day, will be the most watched, etc....I'll be watching too for sure.
At the end of the night I believe that Cotto-Kamegai will be the better fight of the two. Not event, but the better fight. Just my viewpoint though.
We can agree to disagree there, all good, fair play.
And yeah, you're right. Sadly the sport has turned into money grabs.
Actually if the Cotto-Kamegai fight wasn't on that day or the 24/7, I would consider going to a bar to watch the Mayweather-McGregor fight for like $20 bucks or so. But to pay $100, hell nah.
But since Cotto-Kamegai is on that day and 24/7, I can't afford to miss that fight and 24/7. Can't afford to miss any of the fights that day May-Mac, Cotto, all of them.
I'm just glad I'll get to see all of them that night, whether through online stream, HBO, etc... Plenty of entertainment that night, it will be dope.
One thing I will say is I remember the bashing of the Pacquiao-Horn fight and I was one of those bashers. Then that fight turned out to be a good fight actually. Well, hopefully both the May-Mac and Cotto-Kamegai fights will turn out the same. Better than people thought.
Enjoy your viewing bruh.

Explain the success of unorthodox unusual fighters then?
Clown...
That's a stupid question, fuckwit. How do you define unorthodox?
How do you define "unusual"? Unusually tall? Unusually short? Unusually strong?
What?
Turning your back towards the opponent is against the rules in boxing, so if Conor starts doing spins the ref will have to give him a warning every time it happens.
Jumping punches would be legal, I guess, but also very tiring and probably ineffective against a good defensive boxer like Floyd.
W W Wait a minute..... lol im not even gonna go there but u already know what im thinking
is hopping/jumping allowed
Looks like McGregor has some lou lou skip to my lou skipping planned to skip over to Mayweather like a merry irishman and unload a skip punch.
Comical, Lol.
hey might as well try it, maybe he can confuse Floyd, Floyd is used to basic boxing rules fighters, if Conor pretends to jump at him or fakes a leg kick Floyd could drop his hands or flinch
Conor has nothing to lose, there is no rule where it says he cannot fake lifting his leg up as long as he doesn't actually throw a kick.
This right here. Conor is going to be doing some wierd different things and it will catch Floyd by surprise. I seen Cortez interview as well as Paulie, and they both were saying how Conor is doing things they never ever seen done before in the sport of boxing. Im extremely curious

I think I know what Connor's game plan will be:

Idk about that. I think the 2nd most entertaining thing of the night is a distant as f#ck 2nd & I'd argue its the 24/7 for Canelo vs GGG cuz I got lil desire or f#cks to give about Cotto vs Kamegai. Cotto either fights guys well beneath him skills-wise or fights guys for a nice payday. And he's not getting a nice payday for this one. This is just one of those fights to get him to his next nice payday.
Cotto actually got paid already when RNS bought out his contract. I'm sure he at least got $5 million with that. Plus whatever Golden Boy is going to pay him for the fight $1 million or $2 milllion or whatever it is. I'm sure purses will be available the week of the fight.
And what is this Mayweather-McGregor fight?
It's a payday fight.
Sure it's the event of the day and will be watched by lots of people and will make $$$$ on ppv, etc.....
It's a money grab.
This will definitely help Floyd's pockets but does nothing to enhance his legacy.
The PPV's I've bought and supported so far this year were Golovkin-Jacobs and Ward-Kovalev 2. The next PPV I'll buy is Canelo-Golovkin.
I have no problem with the Cotto-Kamegai fight itself. Cotto is coming back from a 21 month layoff, about to be 37 years old soon, coming off a loss. I didn't expect his first fight back to be against a top fighter. That will be in his next fight. The styles of Cotto and Kamegai will make for an entertaining fight for as long as it lasts. I've never seen Cotto or Kamegai in a boring fight. Not the best fight, but with the circumstances and situation Cotto is returning from it's normal, standard and understandable.
I'll be watching both fights without spending money on them and 24/7 afterwards. I'm only spending money on food and drink. As a boxing fan, I can't ask for more than that for these type of fights being presented on August 26th.
Your legs help you absorb punches. It's why the first thing that is drilled into you movementwise is not crossing your feet.
Safe to say that jumping in the air to throw a punch is one of the dumbest things you could do as a boxer.
