Comments Thread For: How Hatton Set Blueprint For How Mayweather Will KO McGregor

[americanlegend]

With MMA gloves. Boxing gloves are bigger and wind resistance alone causes shots to miss or land odd. Conor will be slapping without pronating his punches. They sent Paulie to teach Conor the Alphas and Omegas and what does he do? He thottles the teacher. He'll pay for that.

also conor will be 170 pounds with 8oz gloves.... that can always change things in a hurry if the right punch lands

[americanlegend]

the over/under for # of shots landed by mcgregor is 30. That's for the whole fight.

No one knows mcgregor's boxing style. We know he is normally aggressive. We know floyd is most likely the best counter-puncher ever seen in a boxing ring. Will mcgregor jump in recklessly and get ko'd like hatton? Or will he get hit and fear for his safety, clamming up and giving away the fight like pac? Or will he try and outbox floyd and receive a lesson like canelo? Or will he just give up like ortiz? Or will he land the biggest upset in history?

Those who see this as a mis-match and can't understand why people are going to pay $100 to watch it, haven't paid attention to the media the last decade. They said floyd was scared of hatton and ducking him. They said he was ducking mosley and was scared and would lose if he fought him. They said canelo was a beast in a young prime and ready to dethrone floyd. And most telling, the media told everyone for 7 or 8 years that someone with considerable disadvantages in reach and height, who lunged in with his shots, who had not had a ko in 7 years, and had not beat any top ww at the ww limit, was this dream match-up, the media said this midget with no power would beat floyd for seven years straight.

Tonight's fight is a mismatch. Fans don't believe it, because "boxing experts and fans" did not pay attention to anything they had seen in the ring and just sold this story as pac as some killer. Most of those crying about tonight helped feed the hysteria for pac. Pac had even less of a chance against floyd. He had absolutely no power, no defensive skills, and was considerably smaller than floyd. Mcgregor has at least some power, and is the bigger man. However, he has little to no boxing skill at all. Its like the boy who cried wolf. They said pac was a beast and then people saw he was too scared to even throw a punch. Now when the same people say mcgregor has no chance, casual fans don't believe them because ******s lied to them over and over and over again.

Tonight is a mismatch and a joke. And floyd is guaranteed $100 million because of all the haters who lied repeatedly about floyd and his opponents. Suck it up and enjoy all the attention boxing is getting.

it felt like canelo and marquez also landed about 30 to 50 shots on floyd in their fights lol

"YOU going out on your FACE or your BACK" Pick ONE!

Nah...this will be May vs Gatti part deux

My thoughts exactly. Dana and conor said they will make this a fight by hitting floyd everywhere they can. Conors defense is almost nonexistent and he is often too far of balance when he sits down on his punches. He is wide open for floyds sharp counters. I think conor will take a sustained beating that will have him looking for a way out. Floyd by ko.

Conor will ultimately get knocked out by the left hook. Either the lead or the check depending on how aggressive Conor is.

My thoughts exactly!

[supremeboxer]

floyds been working on a devestating left hook to the body.
he will stay close to conor and apply pressure,he wont let him think in there.

[mrjoeblive]

just from those short sparring clips he looks like a sharper puncher than guerrero or berto every were.... His punches are a lot straighter than them also..

No he doesn't and no he don't. Have you saw a conor ufc fight? His hooks are wide and he telegraphs his punches. No way are his punches sharper than the ghost or berto. You are lying to yourself.

Connor swings wide. Look at Indongo, when you swing widely you can be countered INSIDE OF YOUR PUNCH. He's getting fucking stopped man. He's got 8 rounds before it's done.

The only win Hatton had at 147 was Collazo and that was questionable. Ricky was a good 140 pound fighter but he was another one of those non welters Floyd loved to fight at 147.
