Do you believe Floyd will go to McGregor?

[GGGoodBoy]

We have heard this all before, various times. But does anyone actually believe that Floyd will take the fight to McGregor in any way or will he be on his bike as usual?

[_original_]

He'll probably sit in the pocket mid range once he has McSlappys awkward and goofy style computerized in his head.

All night? I don't see it going down like that. I think Conor is strong & he will likely foul his way into move forward aggression sometime during this fight.

At various points in the fight? Definitely.

Conor is a guy who doesn't deal well with pressure. Putting pressure on him by moving him back will wear him down quicker + likely f#ck up his confidence & ultimately make this an easier W for Floyd. I think Conor will give away this win more than Floyd will take it with how it ends. Could see Conor quitting in the corner or his corner throwing in the towel or Conor just not reacting like he wants to keep fighting after a KD or something like that.

[DJ OxXx]

yes he will. conor needs distance to get his shots off. Floyd will get inside, work his body then finish him off once he gasses.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Yes! Conor Mcgregor will be most dangerous from mid-long range! From what i have seen? His short punching ability on the inside is not really that good! Floyd Mayweather's plan should be to extinguish Conor Mcgregor's long range shots!

Mcgregor's movement looks quite decent though...

[djtmal]

why not? floyd will be an unsolvable riddle to this dude standing right in front of him...

[Larry the boss]

Yes, he will literally walk Connor down and make him fight on the inside..Connor has the reach and has 0 inside fighting skills

[kingstip9]

Nope
He will circle and move, outbox him
Conor to save face will then try and get floyd to the cage for a "real fight" but floyd won't

The end

You don't understand fighting. It's advantageous for Floyd to use his distance and range against shorter, stockier and more explosive opponents because they are at a reach disadvantage. A shorter opponents best way of landing punches on a taller and longer opponent is to close distance very quickly and get on the inside. By using movement and range Floyd is able to avoid getting hit by guys with less reach than him.

Conor is a taller and more rangy opponent so Floyd has to close distance on him to make things happen. Floyd won't run but he'll have to use a lot of head movement to avoid being hit by Conor's counters.
