Mix Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 So the best boxer of a generation and arguably of all time is going to fight in what is widely expected to be one of the most lucrative fights in history....against a man who has never fought in a boxing match they took my money before I could say "take my money" ;D the fight finalized today and I know people who have already bet stacks of cash on Mayweather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been rolling ever since this thing came about....we're gonna take a guy, basically the same size and age as Canelo Alvarez, but without any where near the same skill level, and say he has a chance because he's younger and bigger than Floyd :-\ ;D I guess they get a payday and we get some laughs....everybody walks away happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's boring but hey... i'm not the dude that's made millions boxing so more power to him. McGregor and Diaz were both tanked in the 4th and 5th round in their last fight. That being said maybe he'll take a different approach knowing the only way of attack is via punches. Anyone know the Vegas odds on this fight?

André Toulon Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I saw this today and I feel it was my post a few days ago about my hatred of this cat that put this little unicorn poop with sprinkles on my plate. Like my day just became so much better......The sky opened up and god himself kissed me square on my lips and slipped a pinkie in. My FB feed is full of people trying to factor Mayweathers age when really that's all experience. I'm not even sure McGregor will have the restraint not to try a kick when he finds out his hands game is bush league in a boxing ring. No doubt, Conan is gonna leave with a fucking airline carrier full of cash on this one.....I can't knock that, but unless Mayweather is fighting in handcuffs, this is gonna be the balls dipped in warm caramel that I deserve.

Skinko Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 It's funny, because I hear a lot of people saying shit like, "McGregor is gonna get knocked the fuck out!"

Taking punches isn't what you think it is and as far as professional fighters go, there's a spectrum...a wide one He may not get knocked out in 20 seconds, but it's unlikely he sees the whole 12 rounds....be lucky to see 6 guy was rocked by an out of shape Nate Diaz (who has middling level boxing and isn't even ranked in the top 10) Just a reminder, Conor is the same size as Canelo without the benefit of 50 boxing matches worth of expertise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPM Jr. Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'm perplexed, quite honestly. Why Dana White and Conor McGregor would agree to a boxing match is beyond me. I typically root for Irish MMA fighters since Ireland is my ancestral homeland, but Conor's antics have turned me off quite a bit. Now I've never been a big fan of Mayweather either, but he's considered one of the all-time greats for a reason. I mean look at his 50-0 record! The only person I can think of in any weight class that has retired on top like Mayweather has is heavyweight legend Rocky Marciano, whose record's eerily similar at 49-0, with 43 wins by way of knockout. I'd love to see an evenly-matched fight. Unfortunately, that just ain't gonna happen. McGregor's gonna get destroyed by Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
