Comments Thread For: McGregor: With 8-Ounce Gloves - Mayweather Lasts Two Rounds!

[iamboxing]

He thinks he'll be fighting rock em sock em robots UFC style. At best he'll land 3-6 solid blows, and that's being generous.

[Reloaded]

they messed up with this media event..they lost some sales from boxing fans..ill be damned if i order this ****

Yeah but they ****** in a load of casuals and MMA fans. Some of the moves Connor does is like a cartoon, and in a weird way that's his best chance, he gotta be weird if he is conventional boxer, he gets murdered so his bullet is to be as weird as hell and he lands the money shot, once Connors bull strength tactics have run there race and he slows, Floyd will eat him up.

I heard Floyd is very sharp, one sparring partner said he was sharper now than pre- Manny fight and the layoff didn't hurt him, I laughed when the guy said Connor doesn't know what he talked his way into, said Floyd definitely going to stop him.

They gunna make a boat load of money out of this fight, dam mind boggling as I work out my next weeks budget lol.

Smaller gloves would give McGregor more advantage for himself or chance of hurting Mayweather bc he fights with SMALLER gloves and he is the puncher. Really few ppl probably don't know the that 2 oz can be much different.

Would it change the fight? Probably not,but it would decrease the odds and maybe shift the likelihood of McGregor shocking the world.Which is still slim. As I stated before McGregor MAYBE could k.o Pauilie...but hes not Mayweather.

it will be easier for Mayweather to keep him honest

they will benefit the precise accurate guy who is landing

It would benefit the guy who is used to fighting with smaller glofes . Mayweather is more defensive ,McGregor is going on the offensive moreso here so chances are slimmer Mayweather blocks all of them with less padding to cushion shots .

oh ****

That's what **** I said.

the casuals will believe this

Mayweather will slice and dice Mac with 8oz gloves

Who's the last 3 guys Floyd has sliced & diced with 8oz gloves?

I think some reasonable people here got some insane opinions about how bad McGregor is that will ONLY let them down when this fight is over. And I'm a cat who thinks this is gonna end bad for McGregor, but its not gonna end THAT bad for him & I think he's capable of having a moment or two that will = a L for boxing & boxing fans cuz of how deluded some fans are about a 40 year old boxer who's not fought in 2 years.

If this was an active Floyd, a 35 year old or younger Floyd, a Floyd at one of his weights were he was destroying mfers & ending them then okay I understand, but Floyd is 40, hasn't fought in 2 years, will be at his highest weight division he's competed in & who's got 3KO's in his 15 fights at or above 147 & hasn't legit KO'd anyone in a decade.

And I say the above as a Floyd fan who's been a fan & aware of him well before the 96 Olympics as I watched him win Michigan Golden Glove championships. But lets not go to crazytown with what Floyd can do & lets not act like there shouldn't be some questions about a 40 year old cat who's not fought in 2 years.

Just in, NSAC denied the 8 oz glove request. Citing No reason to add a element of unnecessary risk.

Isn't the meeting on the 16th?

Although I expect it to get denied as they already look circus-y for sanctioning the fight so idk that they can't break more of their supposed requirements. Although I guess if there is any point to try to push what you can get away with this would be the time.
