Genuinely scared for Floyd in this fight...

It wont be strikes in the real sense where you can use and hit with many body parts, just the gloves which curtails it down to just punches with gloves to legal areas and nullifies the full strike definition.A-yes, he is allowed to strike with his fists.
B-Connor is wearing 10 oz gloves. This is 154.
C-I agree after about 3-4 rounds his power will be faded. I'm not even sure Connor is a bigger puncher than Mosely, Canelo, Pacquiao, Oscar, Corrales, etc etc.....People act like Floyd has never fought punchers. lol
Connor may make it awkward due to his rhythm being different than a boxer's, but after a few rounds (once Floyd belts off the rust and finds a groove) Mayweather will show the difference.
When they first discussed it, it would be 8oz gloves but 10oz will favor Floyd even more.
I'm going to watch a stream of the fight....even if it is a sizzling undercard which I doubt, it is not even worth $19.99.Last edited by richardt; 07-15-2017, 02:09 AM.Comment

Striking is striking....but I understand what you mean...as in no elbow, spinning back fists, forearms, hammerfists ,etc....something tells me that Connor will do something to make Floyd second guess him...(eg: feignt a leg kick to throw Floyd off).It wont be strikes in the real sense where you can use and hit with many body parts, just the gloves which curtails it down to just punches with gloves to legal areas and nullifies the full strike definition.

10 oz gloves are mandatory for any fight over the welterweight limit....they can discuss this until they are blue in the face, but it is always 10 oz.
I'm streaming this circus...no way would I pay for this-lol.....GGG/ Canelo on the other hand is worth a ppv tag.Last edited by damned1974; 07-15-2017, 02:37 AM.Comment

In defense of Floyd he rarely has fought people with longer reach but I'm sure Floyd could deal with longer reach, just Floyd never took risks if he could help it.
So I'm not sure Connors longer reach will help. But if the spirit of Bruce Lee is in Connor, Floyd's in troubleComment

You're doing exactly what Conor planned for you to do, and that's to believe he has a chance. Good job, you fell for it.Comment

Floyd could've strategically drained himself like McGregor's initial division campaigning and fool UFC fans. Meaning Floyd could've drained himself to 135-140 for years and quit years ago, but he ain't no bîtch like McGrgeor.In defense of Floyd he rarely has fought people with longer reach but I'm sure Floyd could deal with longer reach, just Floyd never took risks if he could help it.
