How many rounds does Floyd let Mcgregor have before he decides to go for the kill?

[darius45]

If this fight happens, Floyd will pretty much have to baby McGregor in the ring/pretend the fight is competitive by allowing McGregor to get close and land some meaningless punches here and there.... But how many rounds will Floyd let this charade go on before he goes in the for the easy KO?

I can't image Floyd will go for the KO in first few rounds...he needs to put on a show first... maybe round 5?

Floyd's brittle hands aren't knocking anyone out, even Mcgregor. Please stop with this Floyd KOing anyone

Probably like 7


Wow I'm rooting for Floyd for the first time since Canelo

It's the punches you don't see that do the most damage.

He'll stop him in round 6

Dude he claimed he went for the knockout in the Guerrero fight. He ended up abandoning the KO cause he hurt his hands. It's not that I don't think he'll go for it, especially against someone as amateurish as McGregor, but Floyd's hands won't allow it. Too brittle

He just might. IDK if Conor can take an accurate punch from one of the best boxers today. Although, I think Floyd would only go for broke if he sees Conor completely gassed

theres levels to boxing. even when he hurts his hands and takes the sting of his shots, he is still floyd mayweather.

he has been there before, he will keep punching and eventually mcgregor will wear down. might not be a clean KO in the concussive sense but he is definately stopping mcgregor.

He literally won't be able to miss McGregor, and McGregor will be taking the full brunt of every shot. If he can't KO him then that will be extremely embarrassing

Guerrero was on the verge of going in round nine IIRC. He also had Cotto pretty hurt in the twelfth

We're probably talking about 8 oz. gloves and a small ring for this fight. McGregor is giving up MMA style to box under marquis of queensbury, so he will demand small gloves and small ring.
He is going to be in Floyds chest all night, and Floyd is gonna be punching going backwards.
Floyd is really gonna have to work in clinches, and stay busy keeping Conor at bay.
Floyds age and condition will be a factor.
I think both guys are gonna look like they been in a fight at the end.
