    Indongo (9-1) is a bigger underdog against Crawford than McGregor (4-1) against Floyd.

    Indongo is a unified champion. McGregor isn't even a boxer....LOL

          its not? is conor better than indongo? obv not so it must be what they think of their opponents....they think crawford is amazng since he is. smart betters saw floyd struggle mightily with maidana and pac land almost all the clean shots in their fight. they know floyd is on the slide and has been getting by on reputation lately.

            He's not better, but he's more famous than Indongo. And that's what this fight and the odds on it are about.

              Its crazy, I have noticed a lot of people who when the fight was initial made gave McGreggor no chance but after all the propaganda have had a change of heart and have him favorite, totally insane but utterly fascinating.

                I am expecting Mayweather to deliver a one sided beat down ending in a KO victory. I base that a lot on the Conor vs Diaz fight which was about 90% boxing. Diaz was a sloppy mediocre boxer and yet he hurt Conor. He had no trouble hitting and hurting Conor with wide, slow looping punches that any world class boxer would easily have avoided and not be hurt by even if they did land. On the other hand where was Conor's incredible punching power when he failed to KO Diaz with the 4 ounce gloves? When it comes to boxing under boxing rules the only way I can see Conor winning is if the fight is fixed to secure another block buster rematch. Conor keeps talking about an easy KO of Mayweather because of Mayweather's small head. Mayweather has never been knocked down or KOed in his career and he has fought champion pro boxers who punch much harder and with far greater volume and accuracy than Conor. People who pick Conor to win just don't know boxing.

                  Agreed, though I'm not sure about the KO. I'm kinda shocked that there are people who think McGregor has a chance to win. I'd be impressed if he went the 12 rounds.

                      Have you seen any of Conor's MMA fights?

                      He's not got the greatest defense (there is barely defense at all in MMA so thats hardly surprising he'll be lacking defensively in the ring) or stamina which is gonna be hell vs Floyd. Either Floyd isn't Floyd anymore (& stranger things have happened to 40 year olds who haven't fought in 2 years) & Conor shocks the world early with his early front runner style or Conor is gonna fall apart before 36 minutes go by.
