People should be betting on how many punches he will land a round, anything else is a fantasy.

Floyd has taken big shots from much harder punchers and still won.

This is a sports forum.

Below 1% no Rocky shit in real life.

This.

Hell, even Rocky was a journeyman boxer. Journeymen can, on rare occasions, upset the champ. Conner has had LITERALLY 0 boxing matches,amateur or pro.

Why do we even talk about this? It's literally only a scam to make hundreds of millions of $ disguised as sports. Don't pay for view.

People who have been boxing their whole lives have failed to beat Mayweather. A guy who has never boxed even as an amateur is not going to get any lucky shots.

Conor round 3 KO. Floyd is old and slow and has literally two broken wrists so he can't KO Conor.

Insider info has Conor calling out round 3 as the money round.

>insider info
>conor "I WILL KNOCK HIM OUT INSIDE FOUR ROUNDS MARK MY WORDS" mcgregor

this is a pr stunt by the industry, not a real fight. One of them isn't really even a boxer. How brazen can you get?

You're right, he never has because he neutralizes the offense of whoever he faces.

Mayweather may be an illiterate, wifebeating, egotistical asshole and his fights are boring to watch but if you don't understand that he's the best defensive boxer of his day, maybe the best ever, you don't understand boxing.

He ate flush shots from Judah, Mosley and Maidana and recovered

>everything I know about boxing is based on recent memes

how much are you bitches betting on this shit? hunned on micky g

So all the hype for this fight is based on the hope that mayweather finally loses and to an mma fighter no less, right?

YEEEAAAAAAH

>yfw Conor KOs him ironically

yes normies hate mayweather and are desperate to see him lose so they delude themselves into thinking it's going to happen before every one of his fights

I don't see why McGregor wouldn't win, he's in his prime while Mayweather is an old an who haven't fought in years.

>BECAUSE HE DOESN'T BOX BRO

He can't go for the legs.

Who was Chuck Wepner?

>Conner has had LITERALLY 0 boxing matches,amateur
that's false actually

Has a lucky punch ever won a huge boxing match for an underdog?

Yeah, Tyson made an entire career out of that.

Julian Jackson v Herol Graham is probably the best example

youtube.com/watch?v=c_EEeixw5yA

only happens if you have unreal power like Jackson did

A professional boxer who had already fought 41 opponents by the time he faced Ali, including multiple former world titleholders and legends like Liston and Foreman.
(you)
Paulie Maggliani already made it clear that Connors punching power was solid but nothing special, which pretty much eliminates any hope of some big meme one punch knockout, seeing as Floyd has a solid chin.

>muh lucky punch

fucking christ fuck off with this shit. the best boxers in the world couldn't get a "lucky punch' what makes you think this stupid mick will

>Floyd has a solid chin
How would you fucking know?
He has literally never been punched in the face.

Oh, Italy.
You're so funny.

MFW

Please tell me this is real

Floyd is an old man who hit his peak seven years ago.
McGregor is still in his prime.
It's almost unfair.

Why is there a freemason symbol on the poster

Floyd is going to win and maybe even knock out Conor. It doesn't take a big punch to knock a man out, all you need to do is accumulate damage with precise hits and he'll wobble. Just look at the first Mcgregor vs Diaz fight.

With all that being said, I will be rooting for Conor. Imagine the shitposing throughout the world if he wins. Conor will literally ascend to being the most famous athlete the world has ever seen if he pulls it off. Plus, i have a friend who's a complete boxing purist and is annoying af when he praises Floyd and thrashes Conor at every chance he gets.

Regardless of the outcome, it will be a kek worthy match. I would imagine Conor will try to pull some slick shit over Floyd. He already taunted him with his Capoeira in a face off and he's been practicing his Superman Punch in sparring.

He recovered and made Mosley look like an amateur later on.

Mayweather is not only the ultimate defensive wizard, but he is thought too. His will to win goes beyond his small frame.

If he even takes one. Hatton basically embodied McGregor as a boxer and couldn't land anything on him.

Obviously not you fucking retard

Gave me giggle, Pablocito mate.

Malignaggi wasn't too impressed with his power.

Shane Mosley certainly hit a lot harder than McGregor, but Floyd's older now.

It's boxing so Floyd may even rupture his achilles.

Hatton was a mauling body puncher with T-Rex arms, he's like the total opposite of Conor

Wepner was pretty shit.
Still better than inexperienced McGregor.

No need to have unreal power like Jackson, though it certainly helps.
And it also helped that Graham was going for the KO even though he didn't need to.

Have you ever seen his fights?

But both early round KO aggressors with the endurance to take constant beatings. I see this fight going a similar way to Hatton's, Conor will last much longer than people think.

McGregor is more of an aggressive counter puncher than a true aggressive fighter.

True but I can't see him approaching this fight like that. Against arguably the most intelligent boxer of all time trying to counter is futile, his best shot is going for it.

>Compared to Mayweather [Mcgregor's] grappling is great. We know Mcgregor has high end grappling. He has far greater training, strength and versatility in the clinch grappling so he may be able use that extra skill to find some ways to take advantage of that clinch.
>Having a good clinch in boxing is very different from a world class MMA fighter who trains with world class grapplers every day.

I'm not a boxing fan/expert. Can anyone knowledgable about the sport tell me why it will be such a one sided farce?

Is it basically because of Floyds defence and experience? Will the age gap with McGregor being in his prime have any bearing on things?

I want to see Connor BTFO. Shame he'll be earning $100m for the privilege though

>Can anyone knowledgable about the sport tell me why it will be such a one sided farce?

Floyd Mayweather is probably the best boxer of the last 20-30 years

Connor McGregor is LITERALLY not a professional boxer.

Fans of MMA saying McGregor is dangerous because Mayweather is used to people with boxing styles is like saying that the second best squash player in the world has a chance to beat Roger Federer in a tennis match, except the latter opinion would see you laughed out of town, while the former opinion seems to be acceptable

McGregor has a punchers chance though, right?

He's in peak condition whilst Floyd admitted he's not the same boxer he was even 2 years ago. If the fight progresses into the later rounds, who will it favour?

floyd is a very good extremely defensive boxer, which reduces the chances of a 'lucky punch' to nearly 0%. Not even world class boxers have been able to land a lucky punch on him

but mcgregor has a very unortodox style and no prior boxing fights floyd can study, which imo raises the chances of a 'lucky punch' or some kind of accident happening to 1%

>Not even world class boxers have been able to land a lucky punch on him

Mosley, and he is undoubtedly a harder puncher than McGregor.

>McGregor has a punchers chance though

Perhaps, but Mayweather has a proven chin of granite, having taken very very big shots from the likes of Shane Mosely and Marcos Maidana without going down.

>He's in peak condition whilst Floyd admitted he's not the same boxer he was even 2 years ago

Floyd Mayweather is here to make a big payday. He will say whatever it takes to sell the fight. Literally on record saying that to sell fights, someone has to be the bad guy. To quote Mayweather 'For everyone that's ever purchased a Floyd Mayweather fight, whether you paid to see me win or you paid to see me lose, I'm the smart one at the end of the day, because you paid to see me.'

true, and castillo and others, I should have specified I meant a 'lucky punch' finish

> paid to see me lose

And this is why Roy Jones was never a big PPV draw.

With Floyd, people believed he could lose.
When he broke his hands, fights got tough.

But not with Roy.

Roy beat Hopkins with just his left hand.
Roy went into the Telesco fight with a documented fractured wrist, proceeded to dominate and win all 12 rounds.

Thomas Tate had taken the very best shots of Julian Jackson (The P4P puncher), it only took Roy a single left hook to stop him.

Prime Roy was crazy

>If the fight progresses into the later rounds, who will it favour?

mayweather has already won at that point. his defensive long game is the reason he's 49-0

it's either the "lucky punch" or nothing

woah...is this... non fiction?

short answer: no
long answer: yes

agreed, though I think if Floyd KOs Conor it'll be at the 11th and the contrary would happen within the first 3 rounds.

I want to root for Conor and even place some free bet if the bookie sites give some.
Anyways the shitposting, damage control (muh octogon vs muh ageing) and memes will probably be legendary regardless of the winner, cheers user!

also what's with the superman punch? i don't get it

>Superman punch

Only works because it's a feigned kick. No kicks in a boxing match, no Superman punch

...

Longer answer: maybe

Who cares? I just hope Conor wins so it shuts all these 'boxing experts' up, all they do is repeat whatever they hear some old faggot on TV say. Why are all you faggots pretending you know who hits harder than who? None of you losers have ever even been in a fight, let alone in a professional match with any of the people you talk about. You all sound stupid as fuck predicting outcomes. Bet some money on it if it's such a mismatch.

Also
Who are these semen demons?

but you can feign a kick in a boxing match can't you?

If pro fucking fighters with decades of experience and training couldn't knock out Mayweather what makes you think Conor will?

That's actually brilliant.
What if Conor spent each round trying to fake out Floyd?
Keep him paranoid of a surprise MMA attack.

>What if he gets a lucky punch?
plausible, but unlikely.

that's imo one of his only chances, get into Floyd's head as a total madman who might go full MMA any second, play cool for the first 2/3 rounds then fake a kick and hit Floyd.

that's why the psychological approach will be decisive

how do I get into boxing? no bully please

Considering McGregor got outboxed by Nate Diaz, he has zero chance of winning.

...

Now post the one where he's running in circles, desperately waiting for the bell

might chuck a 50 on the nigger winning on points, pays 3 to 1 on sportsbet

>None of you losers have ever even been in a fight, let alone in a professional match with any of the people you talk about

All ex-professional boxers are saying the exact same thing.

>Paulie Maggliani already made it clear that Connors punching power was solid but nothing special, which pretty much eliminates any hope of some big meme one punch knockout, seeing as Floyd has a solid chin.

It's not power with McGregor but accuracy. He doesn't need to rely on raw power knocking someone out when his punches land flush on the chin.

I think mcGregor,gets a flash knockdown,and wakes mayweather up,and stops paddy with body shots in round 4.

both wrong
he's taken shots that would knock most people out cold

you are going to eat your words while conor eats leather padraig

mcgregors accuracy, timing and speed is bad compared to pro boxers and laughable compared to floyd

This whole fight is scripted like wwe minus the actual match probably

anybody who has ever been in a boxing gym knows this 'fight' is retarded and 'conor' will not land a shot.

o shit sup! MMA NEWS your channel is biased shit

thats literally what all the casuals say mcnugget is a different animal

Any boxer Mayweather has ever faced has more striking power than McGregor.

this fight is such a stinker with such a predictable outcome that there are still plenty of seats left:

espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/20193294/recent-check-reveals-hundreds-seats-available-floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-fight

It would be like a rugby team going against the New England Patriots in NFL rules and officiating. Mayweather is the best boxer of his generation, Conor is a mixed martial artist. Completely different sports. Floyd is so technically excellent and knowledgeable about boxing, he's a specialist. And the best specialist. Conor is a generalist, the most successful MMA fighter, but he's a generalist going into a specialist's world.

McGregor going the distance with Floyd is terrible bet value at 3-1. Floyd by stoppage is free money. McGregor is more likely to be TKOed by exhaustion than go 12 with Mayweather.

Do they plan on avoiding those shots, or have they made a mutual agreement to not dodge and just see who gets knocked out first?

>Trump wins election
>patriots win Superbowl
>conor knocks out maynigger [YOU ARE HERE]

Blacks are done for

he ran 60 seconds in total, out of a 25 minute fight.

it's not that bad considering diaz is known for his endurance capabilities

i think this reboot sucks.

you guys should watch the original one of the greatest underrated movies ever

Lol nice one, Texas

what are you on about
