Comments Thread For: McGregor Turns Up The Verbal Jabs as Mayweather Tour Nears

[Scipio2009]

I'm going to say this and I hate to even have to say this...

Floyd has 0 chance of even scoring a knock down against Conor with 10 ounce gloves... Conor gets hit with 4 oz gloves and has never been dropped in a MMA fight.. He's been stung, but never been dropped and he was hurt by a guy who weighed like 190 at the time.

Fans on here thinking Floyd is going to stop Conor is actually funny... Floyd will fight the same defensive way he fought vs. Pac - he'll be less aggressive against Conor than he was even against Canelo...

Think Floyd vs. Baldomir... except Conor will take a few more risks, especially early on...

-Conor has clear stamina issues.
-Boxers are far sharper with placement of their shots than MMA fighters.
-Floyd hits hard enough to even prevent guys like Canelo from simply rushing him (Alvarez was likely in the ring on fight night at 170lbs when he fought Floyd).
-Floyd spars guys bigger than Conor, over marathon rounds, and keeps sharp.
-Nate Diaz is a 155lb fighter who fought Conor on 10 days notice; to now try and make him this utter giant is laughable.

Floyd will make Conor pay for every mistake that he makes in the ring, will keep the intelligent pressure on him for the entire fight, and Conor's ability to deal with the receipts will want as he starts to tire.

Floyd will see what Conor's weapons are by the first 1-2 rounds, will have the plan fleshed all the way out by round 4, and then we're going to see how well McGregor's stamina holds up from the fifth round on (15 minutes of ring time); if Conor's stamina starts to fade at any point from then on, McGregor gets done in like Floyd did Ricky Hatton (fatal mistake with exhaustion not really giving him a chance to recover, as the ref/corner saves him on the way down/out).

I'm getting tired of people saying "press conference is going to be better than the fight"

I'd rather watch a boring fight then a ****** conference any day of the week. Conor is going to make some cheesy jokes and that's it.

Did I miss something?

Ha! They got you to click! Me too :/

you know you lying lol. When Sunday morning comes around and you realize your cable bill is 100 dollars higher than it usually is and you realize it's because of the widely predictable underwhelming fight you will be saying a different tune.

Nate weighed 190 pounds? have you checked yourself at the doctor to make sure all your chromosomes are in place?

[MrFynest]

The build up to this fight and the press conference should cost 100 dollars... the actual fight I don't think so.

Come Sunday morning there is going to be a lot of buyers remorse.

Agree 100%! Real boxing fans will Pay their money to watch the Canelo vs GGG fight.

!2 Rounds might be Fraud's edge...

Brittle Hands might keep the contest close...

Can't imagine the Mick going the 12!

You may be overestimating Conor's stamina, chin, and ability to see every punch that Floyd is going to throw. I recall people saying the same thing about Kovalev before he was stropped by Ward. Kovalev did not hit the deck, but going into the fight, nobody believed Ward could stop him.
