Comments Thread For: Spence: McGregor Was Trash in Sparring - He Won't Touch Floyd!

[p4ptbe]

his post fight reactions tell me everything i need to know about how he thought about a particular fight. When he was hungry he'd cry and act dramatic. Now he just poses and gives compliments. He's been carrying opponents for a while. He's definitely going to fall on the ropes a few times and let conor throw flurries. It's a performance for him. They don't see it though lol the only guy that had him working in the last ten years (post oscar) was maidana i.

oh yeah floyd is a master at counter punching even off the ropes! He did that beautifully against canelo and cotto like a matrix! But floyd is not as sharp now as he was in the canelo fight that was 4 years ago! He will still dominate conor but i expect him to walk him down after the 3rd or 4th round!

We've seen Floyd carry elite fighters to 12 round decisions just for the hell of it. Cotto, Marquez, and Guerrero were fights where it was obvious he could've stopped the other guy. Particularly Cotto (he was showing weak legs on check hooks) and Marquez (got dropped and was just too small).

I think he'll let Conor throw some shots early to get fans excited then go for the stoppage around the 4th or 5th. I'm not so sure he'll get him out of there quickly though. I could see a towel coming around round 8 or 9. I don't think he gets the KO.

If Floyd carried a fighter, it's because he didn't want to commit to his shots, and risk getting KTFO.

Remember the look of panic on Floyd's face when he went back to his corner with a bloody nose? Maidana gave him an even tougher fight and I had him winning that first fight.

I think MMA/McGregor fans are looking to that Maidana fight as his gameplan to fight Floyd, which is really the only chance he has to stay in the fight past three rounds. I don't think Conor sees round 5, this will be the first and only fight where Floyd carries someone for a few rounds just so fans aren't pissed they blew $100 on a garbage exhibition.

Fraud clearly doesnt give a flying FK about the fans or the sport of boxing. He will not carry anyone, because it's a risk to his fake "0".

If he can take out McGregor in the first round, he will, and not give it a second thought.

floyd fought marquez at a wight 2 pounds over not below! So marquez was not drained dont forget! Also you forgot to mention mayweather was coming off a 22 month layoff another big factor! Manny fought cotto and oscar at 145! Their best weights were 154 at that point in their careers! Mayweather didnt fight canelo at 145 like manny the catchweight king would have done! Mayweather fought him at 152!!! "Thats 7 more pounds for canelo not to come in like a dean man walking like oscar did against manny!

Actually manny fought oscar at 147 only cotto was 145

I thought floyd vs cotto was a very competitive fight one of floyds most entertaining he won clearly but was made to work and stay busy and the extra 2lb would not have done sh't to help canelo so it dont matter he was levels above ginger

floyd is likely to dominate mcgregor for 6 or 7 rounds before the ref calls it off but so much strange **** has happened in the last few years leicester winning the prem,ferrari matching mercs in f1, trump,brexit i think i gotta put a little stake on a mcgregor ko

It wasn't for the hell of it he takes zero risks than he has to on purpose giving us boring fights never closes the show even against inferior opponents

How can you call The Best Ever boring? Losing must be exciting for you huh? And after fighters realize they cant just walk though him they wont go for the kill....

Actually mannh fought oscar at 147 only cotto was 145

Sorry buddy, your wrong. This will be his 3rd fight @ 154.

That last point you made can't be ignored. So much loopy **** has happened in sports lately. He really might have the luck of the Irish lol doubtful but we'll have to wait and see. You couldn't find person on this planet who would've picked Leicester to win the BPL.

totally disagree on cotto. cotto rode him like a diaper. he was the only fighter in floyds second career that made him work & forced him to stay on point the entire fight.

Mayweather easily won the 1st 4 rounds and the last 4. Cotto made the middle 4 competitive.

There was a period of the fight were it appeared that May was on the verge of a stoppage and may have gotten it had he stepped on the pedal...but his unwillingness to step on it was probably due the 4 rounds in which Cotto made it competitive....he proved that at the very least he was a dangerous dog despite losing a somewhat lopsided decision.

Sorry you are wrong. He wrote that manny fought oscar and cotto at 145. No he only fought cotto at 145 while the oscar fight was at 147.
