Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Says He'd Need Only 2 Rounds To Knock Out McGregor In Boxing Match

[Bunch Pag]

No MMA fighter, a whiteboy at that, lasts long with any former Mexican fighter.

Maybe not but the articles about McGregor fighting an American...

I would pay to see odlh fight macgregor

[Smash]

i doubt it somehow, i think gregor would last longer than that, he can punch decent for 3 rounds and is ok until he gasses out badly

Here is the difference between Oscar and Floyd. Floyd could have ended the fight at any moment if he wanted to. Floyd chose to make it look like Connor had a chance. This way MMA fighters and fans continue to think that they have a real chance against a boxer and they can make more crossover fights that will generate a ton of money.

Floyd is all business. That being said I would back Oscar to beat Connor in a boxing match. Maybe not that early unless he was in his prime.

"Any"?

You sure about that?

I thought boxers fighting MMA fighters was a disgrace and needed to be boycotted huh Oscar? He’s such a hypocrite and is ridiculously jealous of Floyd. He needs to get over it.

That's not true at all. Floyd never gets hit in the face for anyone. And he took out that Japanese(?) Kick boxer very fast in the fight he had afterwards. The truth is Conor is fast and is a good striker - he just has no power or stamina and his speed comes because he arm-punches. That uppercut he landed on Floyd in the first round was genius. Floyd didn't even see it coming. It was a pure reaction shot

Floyd would have taken Conor out as fast as he could because he knows if Conor had fought Paulie after - their performances would be compared.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that McGregor beats and probably even stops him at this point. Only because Oscar has been out the ring 12 years and the way he’s been acting in recent years leaves me with serious concerns about his mental health and questions about his drinking/drug abuse.

That is a interesting fight, If the fight is made.

Oscar as a great boxer he is, can pull this off, If he train smart. Train smart, because is not healthy to train very intense with his age and also is more prone to get injuries that can become chronic injury. Training smart and he have the chance to do this.

Oscar never was at his best vs a southpaw stance or guys with weird style.
So you would think Oscar being old, that fight would be competitive.

Oscar still probably has a vicious left hook despite being in old man shape, would not be that surprised if he ices McGregor.

That would be a fun fight, Connor would just verbally abuse Oscar in press conf with fishnets stuff ect...

It would do decent numbers tbh

Yea I'd expect Oscar to get to him eventually even at his age, but 2 rds is some Mike Tyson sh^t. I just wouldn't be shocked if he got a decision either.

And lol. Yea McGregor would "win" the pressers for damn sure with all the wacky ass news Oscar has been involved in. Just the potential usage of the phrase "kitchen utensils" would have me amped for those pressers.
