Teddy: Both Floyd and Conor are counter punchers. Will it be exciting?

[Mr. 29K]

Teddy knows what's up. 2 counter punchers in a ring.

Teddy: "In reality you are what you are."

Teddy @ 3:13: Conor is not the seek and destroy missile type. You look at his best fights. What did he do? He counter punched. He's smart, but he's not the guy that he's teeth are gonna come out and come at you. He's not that guy. All his best fights, he landed his left hand which is his southpaw power hand, but he did all in counters. He let the other guy walk-in. He set traps. In other words, he did what Floyd does. OMG, he thinks like Floyd. Is that a revelation? Is that a shock to the system of people to hear that? Well, look at the tapes if you don't believe it. So if he is consistent with that (counter punching) and he goes in there and he is going to be careful and thoughtful which he has shown in his biggest fights. Does that add up to something exciting to you? I ask you a question?


2 counter punchers = ultimate bore-fest of the century.

Awesome read, bro! Thanks. I still think Conor is gonna beat Floyd just like Manny did.

any chance of females being around??? I want sex after the KO of the century.

yes actually

[Reloaded]

Connor will catch Floyd when he throws a lot easier than people think with counter punches.

Connor throwing weird don't matter, Floyd is trained on the target spots, a weird shot is no different than a good fighter throwing a weird shot or a slow hook or a sloppy cross, or waits a fraction to long, its all the same for Floyd because the target is exposed and Floyd hits it without getting hit, Floyd sees the mistake and opening the nano second its happens.

Is Conor a counter puncher? I have only seen like 3 of his fights. The 2 Diaz fights live (drunk) and that Aldo fight which was like 3 seconds.

Yes he is. He pressures but doesnt really attack he walks his opponents down and baits them into pull counters

It's going to be very exciting. Floyd said he's going for the KO and on top of that I heard they might be wearing 8 ounce gloves.

Atlas is so dramatic. Why can't he just say Mayweather will box Conor's ears off because he is a vastly better boxer than Conor. Better, speed of hand and foot. Better timing. Better boxing fundamentals, Better combinations. More accurate with his punches. 100 times more knowledgeable and experienced about boxing. Better defense. Better chin. Much better stamina etc etc. It doesn't matter if Conor leads or not. He will receive a one sided ass whipping either way. I have never seen a boxer and his entire team as over confident as Conor and his team. They actually seem to believe this will be a very easy fight and Conor will just walk right through Mayweather and knock him out in a few rounds. They give Mayweather no chance to win or even be competitive. On August 26th they will get a harsh dose of reality and find out Conor was the one who never had a chance to win. A huge check should ease Conor's pain.

Let's say 8oz gloves wasn't approved will it still be exciting for you?

Floyd Snr. says it won't be a Knock out and will be a 12 round UD. How do you feel about it if it' goes the distance?

Not at all. 2 ounces is a huge difference when it comes to boxing gloves.

Floyd's showing his warrior spirit requesting 8 ounces. This is what legends do.

Sounds a lot like Canelo... He was the bigger fighter too

In recent memory the only fighter I remember attacking Floyd without giving a **** about counters was Maidana and he did a lot better than most people expected.

Don't get me wrong, he still lost the first fight it was like a 7-5 or 8-4 win for Mayweather. 6-6 at best if you gave every single close one to Maidana.

Maidana has an excellent jab and a really powerful and awkward looping right that's very hard to time. I don't see a boxing noob like McGregor being able to fight like him. Despite all the talking, I don't think Mcgregor has a mentality of not giving a **** like Maidana does. He's gonna get hit with some sharp punches like he's never seen before and will back off and go into survival mode until he quits on his stool.
