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

[JK1700]

Might not knock him out cold but he's definitely got to stop him/make him quit.

What the **** is this bull**** i keep seeing about Mcgregor throwing shots Mayweather isnt used to seeing?

The fights ive seen Mcgregor he is basically a normal, basic southpaw as far as punching goes.

Hardly Manny Pacquiao is he?

Mayweather never fought the dangerous version of Pacquiao. So how has he seen that before?

Connor is like Clubber Lang and Mayweather is Rocky after he had been fed bums for the last few years of his career. Let's just say things didn't go well for Rocky in that fight...

Unless Floyd's on the go go juice he's not gonna knock out ****, just from the wrestling, ju ju, taekwondo, boxing, kickboxing, muay Thai McGregor will be stronger than any boxers Floyd's facedhis body is conditioned differently don't be surprised if come round 6 Floyd is a ***in bloody mess I wouldn't count McGregor out til the ref counts him out

This is true.

There's that segment in every MMA fight where they put on boxing gloves, move to a ring, and start using the Marquess of Queensberry rules.

Nope but you can use every boxing punches, tricks in an MMA fight...the opposite is not possible except when it comes to Andre Ward lol

Duh, most of those were in the lower weight classes. 130,135,140

Besides no jaw Ortiz and small Ricky Hatton everything else is a UD.

Particularly his fights since 2011.

Don't worry you'll get the K.O. you want come Aug. 26.

Quoting Jim Lampley: "Listen it's Floyd Mayweather right, 12 round Unanimous decision, write it down. You ever seen anything else."

Me myself, not 100% sure how Floyd will win exactly. Thinking his 2 year layoff, being 40 yrs old, fighting at 154, may be leaning towards UD win.

McGregor may tire. If Floyd knocks him out cool, I'll be happy that boxing beat MMA. KO or Decision I'm good. I was having fun quoting Lampley. McGregor is not a name that is going to enhance Floyd's legacy. It will enhance his pockets that's for sure, but not his legacy.

I laugh at how MMA types still brag about beating Toney, who didn't train for the fight outside of a few cameos for the cameras, was just there to get the nice paycheck from Dana White, and who was TOTALLY SHOT IN HIS OWN PROFESSION when he fought Couture. It's not like Couture beat a relevant heavyweight.

Had he beaten a then current champ, like Vitali Klitschko, who was also a world champion kickboxer, maybe I'd be impressed.

But Toney? He could barely speak even back at that point. Broke and desperate, unable to get any decent fights in his own sport, he engineered a sham rip-off fight with an MMA guy.

Give Toney credit for finding a way to get an easy night's work -- tapping out quickly, picking up his paycheck, and going home unscathed.

Hardly anything for Couture to brag about.

I'm calling a stoppage: K.O., TKO, Ref. stops it or the corner throws the towel. Conor has a 10% chance to K.O. Floyd, it's his only way to win that fight.

It's doesn't mean accumulation of punches won't get the fight stopped. Floyd hurt Cotto at 154, buzzed Oscar with 2 right hooks at 154, and ju s t plainly beat the **** out of canelo at 154, I'd like someone to tell me what makes everyone so sure Floyd cannot stop a guy with no pro fights. Honestly, it will be worse for McGregor if it goes 12, he won't be the same after the amount of punches he will take.

I think so because "McConner" is big and strong and Floyd isn't knocking anyone out regardless of how bad he beats them. Hurting or buzzing Cotto Oscar or Canelo isn't the same as almost stopping them and he didn't come close to stopping any of them.. It's more so about Floyd's style of winning fights at this point in his career, than whatever Conner is capable of doing. "Pretty Boy Floyd" wanted to fight aggressively and try and KO fighters but "Money May" fights intelligently and makes sure he stays on the defense, even when he's on offense and will not take the necessary risk to KO a bigger fighter.. Maybe he'll go all out knowing this is really his last fight and stop Conner, but I'm not sure about that.
