Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Stops Conor McGregor in The Tenth

1. One snippet on a video proves nothing.

2. Are we going to go by what Paulie said now? Ok how about when Paulie said Conor was very rough and violent on the inside and he wants to let you know you're in a fight?

If we start taking Paulie's words seriously, then I guess that we should also believe that Conor not only has the stamina to go 12 rounds but also to come out and lay it on you late as well.

You ask for evidence, I give you evidence, you reject the evidence...

For some reason I was slightly interested in this fight for a very short period of time.

It's a complete joke, best remove my subscription to this thread.

I asked for evidence? Post my request.

1. Claiming other people's opinions are invalid because they are "unfounded"

Do you understand the argument I'm presenting here? It sure doesn't seem so by this response.

You stated he has no tank and will be gassed by round 5 or earlier citing his pace and stamina.

You stated this, and presented it, as a fact and not just your opinion.

What I'm saying is, it cannot be a fact. It cannot be anything other than your unfounded opinion.

Why is your opinion unfounded? Because you, me and anyone else has never seen McGregor box. Therefore, you saying that in a boxing match he has no tank and will be gassed by round 5 or earlier has precisely ZERO merit.

I hope this explains it for you and we stop going around in circles now.

To be honest, no. Inside fighting is the one area where I think Conor might have an advantage due to his MMA experience. Especially in the clinch. Floyd is going to tie up a 2 time MMA world champion and punish him on the inside? I don't think that's very likely.

Conor is bigger, stronger, younger and more experienced in that kind of scenario, possibly significantly so.

But that's why we're all going to watch the fight, right? To find out.

2. Evidence shown to support contrary opinions

1.
He's not experienced on the inside at all. Watch at 2:25, Conor has absolutely no idea what to do when someone is on the inside. Conor's best skill is as an outside counter puncher ala the Aldo fight.




2.
There's evidence that he will gas out because Paulie said he gassed out in sparring by the 6th round and Mcgregor claims he's going for a 4 round knockout. Why claim an early KO in the 4th and not claim a 1st rd or 2nd rd KO? The answer is because he's telling you his gas tank will only get him to the 4th.

Also he gassed against Nate and literally ran away because he was tired.

3. Denial of evidence.

You are simply repeating your completely unfounded opinion, claiming that it's better than the opinions of other people, and then ignoring any evidence to the contrary.

You are trying to misdirect the conversation.

1. That was a conversation I was having with Hamza and totally unrelated to what you replied to.

2. No evidence was shown that supports Conor is incompetent on the inside. A small snippet from a video isn't proof of anything.

3. There was no denial of evidence because no evidence was shown to begin with.

4. You took completely unrelated things and tried to roll them into one argument. Nice try but maybe someone else will fall for your nonsense, not me.

Floyd has fought bigger stronger guys his whole career, honestly you don't understand boxing and how skillful it really is with Mayweather, Floyd beats power every day of the week, the body work will kill Connor you wait and see.

I forgot more about boxing than you'll ever learn. No one in their right mind should think Conor is incompetent on the inside. He probably has THOUSANDS of hours of practice working on the inside and doing groundwork which is vital in MMA.

Conor is a dozen years younger, bigger, stronger and has the greatest reach Floyd ever faced. To suggest a 41 year old who is smaller, weaker, and a shorter reach is somehow going to dominate a 29 year old who is an absolute animal on the inside like Conor McGregor is just plain ignorant and down right disrespectful of Conor.

I guarantee you Floyd won't make the same assumptions as you and completely disrespects what Conor brings to the table and come unprepared. He's not that ******.

I understand you're a Floyd fan and a boxing fan. I get that, trust me. But to just act like McGregor is nothing is just plain disrespectful and not right.

Mayweather isn't 41. If you can't even get that simple fact correct there is no credibility to anything you say.

Especially since you have no concept of the differences between inside fighting in boxing and MMA.

McGregor will keep missing, get tired, get stopped.

I didn't say Connor was nothing, I said Floyd will beat his body like a drum, Connor is incompetent when referencing Floyd Mayweather, if you cant see the difference you forgot an awful lot about boxing.

The inside fighting with MMA and boxing is totally different, positioning to dig them in, balance and pivoting for power , you don't see the body punching in MMA like you see in boxing, not being able to grab Floyds hands or arms means Connor has to out balance Floyd , out maneuver Floyd, and then be able to punch as hard inside a six inch space, man Floyd will kill Connor on the inside.

Connors only chance is a haymaker that lands other than that he cant beat Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match.

Exactly.
I hope he gets hyped up and the odds narrow because this is an easy score, almost too easy to make $$$$ on.

The under at 9 1/2 looks like a juicy bet at -160 at my book.
