>McGregor dropped the glove weight down to 8oz from 10oz
Is he an idiot? Floyds punches will now be faster, and he already signed up to go 12 rounds. Also dummy said he's going to weigh in at 154lbs and show up to the match at 170lbs.
Is he trying to get his face caved in?
Why is an MMA fighter fighting a boxing match anyway? They should do an MMA match too at least.
no he's trying to participate in a match that'll net him a few million just for losing
Why agree to that? He probably could have agreed to have a celebrity match that wouldnt end in a humiliation that could have net just as much money. Like agreeing to fight Lindsay Lohan or some other crackhead that'd agree to terms that put him on top for money.
What he's agreed to do with Floyd is ridiculous. Videos have shown McGregor's cardio is shit when hitting the heavy bag, he's planning to show up to the fight heavy with like 15 extra pounds of water or fat from weigh ins, and he agreed to drop the weight on the gloves.
Dumbass might as well just ask that they go bare knuckle and start the match by holding his chin on a dinner plate.
just the opposite.
It favors McGregor, who has heavier hands and no chance of win by decision. The only way mac can win this fight is by ko in the first 5 rounds.
Floyd is older, has a pillow fist and win mostly by points, this glove size drop was a big mistake.
Those hand become less like pillow hand in lower weight gloves and they come flying a lot faster, dude. That also means Floyds reactions are going to be sped up too. I don't think this was a smart call for McGregor. At all.
yay
free monies
>not going bare-knuckle
PUSSAAAAYS
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAH!
Is there a full nude of this pic?
Lighter gloves favours the mma fighter dipshit.
And no, he is not an idiot he makes like 10x what he normally does to dance instead of fight. Sure he'll look like an idiot. But would you rather be kicked kneed, elbowed, choked, held for $10 million, or miss punches with pillows on your hand while some guy dances around and hugs you for $100million
>lighter gloves favor the mma fighter
Just like how lighter weights favor the weaker lifter in a powerlifting competition I'm sure.
m8 you are so fucking stupid
conor vs lohan doesnt net him 150M dollars
i think you are mentally disabled
conor regularly fights with 4oz gloves. less padding means the off chance he actually connects with floyd the pillow fist may actually hurt him
Floyd has serious wrist problems. It's absolutely in Connor's favor to do this.
>asking for a full nude of a gender swapped emoji
This must be a low point for you m8
Floyd might die if they did MMA
How sad is your life?
This could've been me. Glad its not.
lmao compare the reaction this guy got to this
>floyd punching
hahahahahah fuck off casuals
No dipshit floyds power is the weakest part of his boxing. Agreeing to lighter gloves was in no way in his favor. Mcgregor called him a pussy and Floyd took the bait
>losing mass increases floyds power
Maybe it'll help him slip more jabs in, but it will detract from his ability to do damage per punch simply by the laws of physics. This has been proven using science.
>floyd punches faster because the gloves are lighter
...and so does conor.. and conor can actually throw with power. conor rehydrating to a higher weight just means even more power. by all accounts probably the largest fighter floyd will have fought by muscle mass, and not like that skinnyfat fag canelo who was no legs and is only labelled a power puncher to sell fights
imagine mike tyson was an mma star and said he'd do boxing.. same talent and power, he'd still find success even without years of ins and outs of boxing, conor is similar... a born fighter. ridiculous reach, power, eeflexes and fight iq
tl;dr this isn't a silly money fight, it is an interesting match up of two great fighters stop talking shit
YEEEAAAAHHHH YEEEEEAAAAAAHHH YEEEAAAHH
>Why agree to that?
Because he's getting legacy money for this shit. His fucking grandkids aren't going to have to work after this is all said and done.
are you a fucking idiot OP? theres different type of 8oz gloves. You have the everlast mx gloves(foam with horsehair) cleto reyes gloves(horse hair) and the 8oz everlast power lock gloves(alot of foam too protect hands).
No way pussy as floyd lets connor use those mexican gloves. Those are use for power punchers. Floyd was so scared of Maidanas power he payed him 1 million dollar extra not to were the 8oz everlast mx gloves.
Why is Mayweather such a coward?
xd
>Floyd was so scared of Maidanas power he payed him 1 million dollar extra not to were the 8oz everlast mx gloves
i wonder why?
>Saying that you'll have 25+ lbs on your opponent in the ring
Isn't it basically saying that you're picking a fight with a smaller man? No pride in this tbqh and a double shame if you lose. But I suppose Conor built a career of this.
Likewise it means Floyds ha ds are moving faster and that his faster hits come harder.
That's not an advantage at all when he's the slower moving guy. He should want Floyd wearing heavy gloves that move slower so he can have a punchers chance against him.
Stop acting like this is anything but a cashgrab hypejob from both sides. I mean it's an absolute win win for McGregor, he earns an obnoxious amount of money from fighting in a sport that is not his own, retains his legacy in the UFC (whether he comes back and defends his belts and retires is another story also to do with money though) and can potentially set up more huge money fights in boxing if it goes semi-decent. He can accrue more fame and wealth which he fucking loves, god he's just as bad as Floyd in flaunting it all, but he isn't grandiose levels like Mayweather. He'll also eventually move onto other things like appearing in Fast & Furious 13 as a shittalking bad guy and his fanboys will still bust a nut.
>a few
well, 85 millions guaranteed is a bit more than a few
