Comments Thread For: Former Sparring Partner Admits McGregor Was Not Hard To Hit

CONOR WILL EAT FLOYDS BEST SHOTS CLEAN, run thru them and KO him. Mark my words. EASY FIGHT for Conor. He will truck right thru Floyd.

I wish you were right but it's not that easy to hit Floyd. The problem against Mayweather is that by the time he gets tired enough to start getting hit, Conor is going to be gassed and getting tagged at will.

FMJ by ko/tko. Easy work. Extremely easy for him.

I'll put $1 on Conor knocking Floyd out cold within 10 seconds of the first round. $1.

I'll take the bet that no punch is even thrown in the first 10 seconds lol

And if Floyd really comes to Conor and tries to back him up, even though he's extremely inexperienced, he's truly lost the mind game battle with McGregor.

Floyd better not get over confident and leave himself open like Anderson Silva did once against Chris Weidman lol... Floyd should have a fairly easy evening but if he makes a costly mistake and Connor catches him with a good night punch, it could ruin the way boxing is viewed and casual fans will then see mma as a better option for combat sports and boxing will be doomed!!!!!!

here's the thing; floyd fought for damn near 20 years at the pinnacle of the sport against professional boxers who were not making their debut, including several hall of famers and big punchers, and that didn't happen.

No McGregor being easy to hit is the point. His fans never mention his defensive abilities because they basically don't exist -- and even if they do they don't translate over to boxing. His missing / amateur defence will be his downfall in this one. Doesn't help him he's fighting the very person he modelled his idea of precision and timing on.

They don't mention them because they aren't his main characteristic - His offensive abilities and his timing and precision are. Every person he has knocked out has never made it past two rounds at the most, many of them not even one.

He's not a defensive wizard or anything, but he does have good defense, he's not the easiest guy to hit. I'm sure he will be for Floyd, but the question is whether Mayweather can put Conor away (or coast to a boring UD) before McGregor can find his chin.

Life (especially sports) is very often counter intuitive, bruh. This could be one of those moments.

Eating punches is what REAL MEN DO. We supposed to be tough. Nothing manly about being dodging and avoiding getting hit.

Its part of boxing avoiding to get hit. Evrn GGG is avoiding hits, well at least for the most part.

[HarvardBlue]

And he'll be even easier to hit after a few rounds when he starts to gas.

[Larry the boss]

ummmm yea...thats pretty obvious, he is no defensive master and lacks stamina..He is just collecting his retirement check

Floyd's gonna get hurt in this it will not be fun for him
