RE: Conor McGregor vs Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr - BIG MONEY FIGHT
Honestly, I can't believe all of the people on TV that are actually trying to act like Conor should have something of a chance. Now don't get me wrong, I understand that when people are trying to hurt eachother, anything can happen.
Even people that often have respectable opinions are playing into the "Conor has a chance" talk. I get it, this is the highest paid combat fight ever.... EVER! But thats no different than thinking Michael Jordan was going to be the best baseball player ever when he tried out MLB.
Mayweather has beat the best of the best every single time. He has trained his whole life in one specific discipline, he has spent so much more time than Conor training in this specific skill. While Conor has divided up his time to make sure he is multi-skilled since he is in the mixed martial arts arena.
I watched Floyd fight many times, we all understand how defensive he is. It was dissapointing to me to hear Skip Bayless and Joe Rogan hyping this shit like Conor has a chance. His only real chance is to KO floyd in the first 4 rounds. They act like Conor is 15 lbs heavier than Floyd, that's not the case. Maybe he has broader shoulders, but that doesn't help to increase his boxing skills. This event is just so hyped up to try to justify the rediculous ticket/viewing prices. Conor has a lot more to gain than Floyd in my opinion, but who wouldn't risk their perfect record to gain 500 Million?
I think it will be long, I think Floyd is going to play extremely defensive, like he does. I think Conor will be cautious, he knows Floyd is unlikely to KO him but also knows that he is a very talented counter puncher, he will not be rushing at Floyd like a bull in a china shop. First couple rounds will go to Floyd in points and it will slowly go downhill from there. Conor will show that he is gassing much earlier than Floyd and once you see the fatigue, I believe the writing is on the wall. I think this fight is going to be no where near as exciting as watching him vs Pacquiao.
Oh yeah, and for those of you who don't want to pay $1,000,000 to watch it live. http://xn--frstrowsports-pjb.eu/ is a decent website that has most fights live streamed, although you do have to click through and close quite a few ads, if you find a decent quality version it's pretty nice. And MMAcore.com should have the fight the day after! Hope you guys enjoy!
McGregor will be lucky if he can land a clean punch in the fight.
