CONOR MCGREGOR will come out of his fight with Floyd Mayweather victorious, according to his striking coach Owen Roddy. McGregor, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, takes on 'Money' Mayweather in a multi-million dollar boxing match in the early hours of Sunday morning. The contest, which will be McGregor's first professional boxing match, will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, 'The Fight Capital of the World'. Click Here To Read More]
Conor's only chance of a knockout is if Mayweather falls asleep because of boredom of breaks out in fits of laughter after tatooing Conor all night at will
I wish all of Mayweather's prior opponents were this confident.
I think this all a delusional fantasy by Team McGregor.
He would have to catch Mayweather flush, and hard enough him to concuss him. We've seen Mayweather buzzed before. Each time he recovered quickly so he'll have to knock him cold with one shot. Yeah, good luck with that.
They probably think they are dealing with an emotional fighter in the ring, they would soon find out that they are dealing with one of the most calmest, level headed fighter in the ring come fight night. They are banking on him running up to them swinging like Aldo or Elvarez etc This guy would take his time like he alwasy does, pop out the jab, make Conor miss and then punish him to the body, by the 7th/8th round when Conor is all but done cardio-wise then you would see the combo landing, they would probably pull Conor out when all those things happen.
He is very calm and very aware in the ring. He's like Federer on the court.
You mean the 6ft 200lb Nate Diaz that Andre Ward spars and said could be a pro boxer? The Nate Diaz that was never dropped by a punch in his entire career prior to facing McGregor, despite facing opponents much larger than McGregor? You can say McGregor won't touch Floyd but you'd be mistaken to think a guy with a 90% ko rate can't drop him if he does connect.
Get out of here with that. He said he'd KO him and then after the fight it's "He's literally TREE times the size of me". And he has been dropped by a punch before, he's never been 1 punch KO'ed before.

Nate is a 155lbder. This 200lb thing has gotten out of hand. He's not solid at 170,he was, as Conor called him skinny fat. If he boxed, he'd be maybe a middleweight. Maybe like MVP a super middle. Ward is he's friend, say he could be a pro, not a world class pro. Conor is a good puncher against men who don't take consistent punches for a living. There's nothing to suggest hed be a big puncher in world class boxing.
I have spoke of a similar scenario...He will be tired and he will see the difference in holding up his guard for defense with 8 oz gloves compared to the mma gloves. After round 4 Floyd should take control in a big way. I do think Floyd may have a few uneasy rounds at first for quite a few reasons....inactivity and the way Connor approaches a fight, which is different than that of a boxer.
Floyds stiff 1's & 2's to the body wont look like much to the casuals and Conor bull rushing in winging left hands will look mean but yeah at about the 3rd or forth Floyd will figure it out. Those body blows will zap away his energy and so will missing.
Connor McGregor will get beat pretty easy unless he gets lucky and lands a hail Mary haymaker that's it. I remember before Rhonda Rousey got exposed there was talk about her being able to beat Floyd now she's irrelevant in the world of mma I wonder if the same will happen to Connor after he takes a couple L's lol
1 thing I will say is Conor was smart to take and push for this fight. The money that he will make is huge and chances are he will lose again soon in the UFC for a lot less money. My thing is how much will Floyd ruin him? I think the best outcome would be Conor quitting in his stool or saying no fooken more in the middle of the ring. Thatd ruin him.

LMFAO, for 1, Diaz was not 200lbs. Secondly, Ward never said he'd be a champ, as a matter of fact, Diaz was getting bodied by a super feather weight sparring prior to their 2nd fight, Andre Ward only uses him for height and range. Lastly, Diaz has been dropped numerous times, he was even KO'd before so please stop. Conor is getting bodied, tko8.
