Comments Thread For: Randy Couture: Mayweather Will NOT Knock McGregor Out

[lopetego]

That's not what you think will happen. That's what you hope happens.

That's exactly what I think will happen

McGregor seems to have a good chin and Floyd is pillowfisted. He wont be able to KO Connor, specially if Connor fights to survive.

the other possibility is McGregor quitting in the latter rounds or trying to get himself DQ'd out of frustration

anyway, the fight will be dissapointing af and everybody will leave the arena with a sour taste

people will feel the full weight of the scam and curse both Connor and Floyd and all the clowns who hyped the farce of the century

[GhostofDempsey]

Nah, this match will be like Canelo-Chavez imo

after a couple rounds of getting schooled and countered silly, McGregor will stop trying and fight to last the distance, maybe ocasionally trying to land a hail mary here and there and failing miserably.

Floyd won't press for the KO because he'd need to take risks, and he doesn't have the balls to do it, even against an outmatched or totally gassed opponent (points at Marquez or Cotto's fights)


tremendous booing will ensue, ofc

I can actually see this happening. Floyd will take his usual safety-first approach, and if Conor survives the early rounds of counter-punches and decides his ego won't allow him to get KO'd, he may also go on the defensive, which would make this the most boring fight in history if it goes 12 rounds. Wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of boos to go around, but suckers who pay for this shyt thinking it will be competitive get what they deserve.

If Floyd said this is my last fight F the hands if he went all out he could tko mcgregor

Yep, I think the same. It is literally on floyd's hands. If his hands are ok, connor will sleep, if floyd's hands are hurting or he's afraid of breaking them, connor will be just humiliated but will end the fight standing. It will be floyd the one deciding, and his hands will be the most important thing in that decision imho.

It's Floyd Mayweather right, 12 round Unanimous decision, write it down. Have you ever seen anything else?

That would be a verybad look for jr if that happens. Because if it were the other way around conor would probably embarass and then take jr out in first rd. And yeah with a fight like this style points count big time

48 year old Ray Mercer knocks out former 2-time UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia in 9 seconds.



34 year old Holly Holm knocks out the greatest female MMA fighter of all-time, Ronda Rousey.



Show me an MMA fighter of any age doing that to a world champion boxer in a boxing ring.

Well, MMA is called MIXED martial art.

Everybody is coming from a fight sport, Braz Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai or Boxing.

Boxing is a part of MMA, MMA isn't a part of boxing.

Ronda Rousey is coming from Judo, she didn't pick MMA first, she won a medal in the olympic as a judoka if I remember well.

Holy had MMA some experience, used kicks to beat Ronda.
She didn't beat Ronda as a boxer with only boxing skills.


So your comparison is sht.

Floyd can drop any fighter under 154 with the right punch, it obviously include Mc.

Toney was 147 yrs old with captioned interviews when they rassled. Toney was a bad man in his day.

Toney fought under MMA rules just like all the others, which included Ali, who fought MMA fighters. Floyd will always have the advantage. As usual.

lol.

She was getting beat and got hurt by boxing the whole fight, she didn't need the kick at all to win.

ummmm yea...26 times

[Floyd is TBE]

Floyd isn't pillow fisted. Shane and Angel Manfredy have said Floyd hits incredibly hard. He hits as hard as Canelo according to Shane. The reason he doesn't stop people is because he doesn't throw that many punches. Low punch output won't be an issue vs Connor, he can punch Connor at will and not worry about being hit back.
