Prediction: This Floyd NYE fight will NOT be 100% boxing rules

[Jsmooth9876]

I can't see any scenario where Floyd fights anything but u see boxing rules.

It's possible they use smaller gloves but do you really expect him to let the guy kick and grapple and s H I t? No way......

I think you're out of your minds if you think Floyd is going to drag his 40 year old body around and get kicked or grappled. Even a 126 pound guy has a great shot of clowning him in those circumstances. Floyd may be a lot of things but he isn't dumb.

they just released the modified rules for mayweather-nagasaki

kickboxing is allowed without kicks

mma is allowed without submissions or takedowns

holding is allowed

so basically the same as every floyd fight

No chance Floyd would agree to anything but normal boxing rules. Unless this is a completely different Floyd Mayweather we're talking about here. He would never take that kind of risk.

mma rules but fight will be rigged to make floyd win. the japanese kid will somehow forget how to throw a kick properly and will look amateurish.

Floyd gatta even the playing field on surface to sell the fight. Him vs a 120lb kickboxer with strictly boxing rules ain't gonna cut it

Those mixed rules sound strange as hell. Almost like a game and not a real fight. A fighter can kick but only a limited number of kicks? Then if he loses he can say he would have won had he been allowed more kicks. One round boxing and then one round MMA rules. That's very strange. Mayweather should be able to KO this little guy in one boxing round. Even though he is smaller the MMA guy could beat Mayweather on the ground in an MMA rules round because of years of experience at ground fighting that Mayweather doesn't have. This could be a weird fight if they try to mix the rules of both sports.

Bolio as ridiculous as it sounds, when kick boxing first came out, they had an embarrassing situation. A bunch of mediocre boxers were coming in and lighting people up. So? they made a rule that a certain amount of kicks had to be used per a round, or risk a point deduction. What a ****** solution to a ****** problem...I wouldn't believe it if it had not happened.

Its the same logic as telling guys in an @55 kicking contest that a one legged contestant is entering so, they all have to kick some @55e5 with one leg tied to a pole.

Considering his opponent is 125 lbs, I'd guess he'll be allowed to use his feet. At that disadvantage he should be allowed to enter the ring with a can of pepper spray.

If he can use kicks, Mayweather will be murdered.
