FLOYD MAYWEATHER's bold claim he's willing to box Conor McGregor with 8oz gloves is nothing more than an 'idle threat', according to the Irishman's striking coach Owen Roddy.

What is a striking coach?? Does McGregor even have a proper boxing coach?

[LaBéstia]

They really have no clue what difference 2oz make?
"He doesn't care, he is used to fighting with 4oz" hahaha when he is using 10oz gloves and wonders were his power went... maybe he'll learn

This is about keeping this in the news people. Doesn't have anything to do with a real discussion or offer. The commission won't let you even wear whatever gloves you want at 154. I believe they'd need to fight at 147 to go down to 8oz gloves.

Gotta keep the fight in the news & this is one of the ways to do that. Fight is still 22 days away. There is gonna be about 5-7 more stories like this people & maybe 2-3 the week of the fight specifically.

Its this cat named Owen Roddy. He's 34, 35. He was 11-4 in MMA (4KO's, 6 submission wins). Retired about 5 years ago. Not aware of him having any high level boxing experience with a actual boxing guy & my assumption would be his boxing coach when he was active was some MMA guy.

Nope for his first real boxing match he didn't hire a boxing trainer why hire the best boxing trainer out there when you can keep same coach

[bronx7]

This fight is more and more becoming a soap opera. I knew it was going to be a circus but now its just ridiculous. Everyday something new. What does it say about the consumer...?
