I think there's a decent chance at Malignaggi/McGregor after this is over.Quote:

This "fight" will probably end in some sort of foul or disqualification.
Unfortunately that pays about the same as a Mayweather win or K.O.
Mayweather thinks he might make up to $300 million for this fight.
McGregor might make up to $100 million.
None of them are worth that kind of money.
I hope very few people order this crap on pay-per-view.
Soon Conor McGregor can start his new career as an underwear model.

id love to know what insanely offensive tat he had to get covered up with that retarded gorilla head
My only observation is since when did grown men getting tattoos in the stomach to groin area become non homosexual in nature.
Also I will call this fight for Mayweather via TKO he won't knock him out but he gonna cut that fool open good over several rounds till it's stopped.
Is he a brawler, though? I didn't get that vibe from him, in the couple of fights I've seen him in. Seemed more like a counter puncher type, with not so great head movement.Quote:

I do agree though that this has all the makings of some kind of bullshit ending like a DQ. But I think it'll come because Conor just overreacts and does something stupid. Low blows, rabbit punches, something of that nature. I don't think he's head kicking or anything like that.
But if not, he's going to take a beating.
McGregor isn't a brawler or a counter puncher in MMA. He's almost always the guy moving forward but he picks his shots and he's accurate as hell. He's landed some nice counter shots for KO's and those got a lot of replays but he's never the guy backing up in MMA and I highly doubt he will be backing up vs Floyd (at least to start the fight).Quote:

conor uses positional pressure, incredibly accurate striking, and incredibly powerful striking with devastating effect.
when he faced diaz the second time, he landed a blow so hard that it damaged a nerve in one side of diaz' face. supposedly to this day diaz looks like he had a mild stroke.
that punch came out of nowhere; it wasnt a counter, it wasnt a combo. he was standing perfectly still in front of diaz and landed that shot. clean.
8 ounce gloves? marrrrronnne...
and not for nothing, Zab Judah knocked out Floyd sparring yesterday.*
*... according to TMT, who claim he was 'mimicking Conor's style'.
I don't buy it, they are trying to manipulate the betting lines more towards McGregor so Mayweather can lay a big bet on himself. If there was a legit sparring KO that shit wouldnt leak. Mayweather usually has everything in his camp on lockdown.

Sonatine, have you laid some money on Mayweather for this fight? You seem nervous as hell that McGregor will win it. I truly believe you can sit back and enjoy watching a top pro clown an amateur. I also believe Floyd's chin can hold up fine with 8oz gloves even to McGregor's biggest shots. Mayweather has been hit very hard by some big punchers in his career and he's proven to be very durable.
similar rumors surfaced in 2015 during the build up to the Pac fight

THE ORIGINAL SOURCE ON THE RECENT ZAB KO RUMOUR IS A KNOWN TWITTER TROLL ACCT. @MARIOVEGASPOST VEGAS POST DOESNT EXIST. SAME GUY STARTED THE NICK DIAZ KOING MCGREGOR CORNERMAN RUMOR OR W/E BACK AT 202.
I'm still positive it will be. The sports are so different that without getting into a gym and training it's hard to understand. The footwork, how you can defend, the distancing. There is just no fucking way in hell a guy coming from an MMA background has a hope vs one of the all time greats in boxing. Floyd is going to play with him.

i believe you, because im not stupid and these things seem obvious, but seriously people are writing about how confused conor is going to be getting because floyd establishes distance for his jab by tapping gloves, like soooo much of the 'conor is going to get murdered' narratives come from people who absolutely positively have never even watched an MMA fight.
thats why im so skittish.
With all the jokes being made inside boxing gyms, at Conors expense, if he does find a way to win, boxing will never recover.
Conor beat the brakes of Paulie, the same boxing gyms would have said Conor would have no shot against Paulie if asked before they sparred.Quote:

It is a bit bizarre to see all these boxers mocking McGregor. He could easily dismantle them all in a real fight and his skill is undeniable. You'd think they may have some interest in some of the movement drills he does. The head boxing trainer at my gym likes the shoulder movement drill Conor did and felt it made a lot of sense.
We saw a 15 second clip. The fuck are you talking about?Quote:

Whatever will generate the most money is what they will do.Quote:

Interesting angle, or fact? We saw a 15 second clip. You can 'Dana said' until you're blue in the face, but the truth won't come out until the tape is released.Quote:

Maybe Paulie did get fucked up. I couldn't give a shit less if he did or didn't. You drew a conclusion based on a clip, and Dana fucking White. The UFC version of Bob Arum.
I think that's exactly the reason Floyd asked for 8oz. Everyone thinks it's an advantage for Conor. Floyd obviously thinks the opposite.Quote:

Please give me your superexpert boxing opinion about conor vs paulie if asked 2 months ago, let me guess, no way conor wins

But on the other side, you have Paulie saying "release the full tape, unedited" so again, 2 sides to the story.
My superexpert boxing opinion 2 months ago, was that Paulie was old and shot, but his boxing mind could have been a huge benefit for Conor in training camp.
My superexpert boxing opinion is that if they were both given an equal amount of time to prepare, Paulie would probably out box Conor and win a decision.
Now, you tell me what Dana White would say, and we'll just consider that your "superexpert opinion."
Dana White won't be releasing the entire sparring session. I'd take a bet on that.
Do you really need an explanation on why they didnt release the full 12 rounds before the fight?Quote:

Im guessing Paulie has boxed as much as Conor in 2017 so he should be more than prepared to box someone who is 0-0 in boxing.
And last we might as well quote Dana, I learned a long time ago never to doubt Conor.
Bigger, stronger, younger, faster, this will not be pretty.

I'll bet you that they don't even release the unedited 12 rounds, $100 and escrow with druff? Give it a 1 year dead line?Quote:

I was actually unimpressed with McGregor's boxing skills in the short 20 seconds they released. He landed a stiff straight left but otherwise looked sloppy and like a typical amateur.
Of course Dana would lie about this, and so would Paulie. We have absolutely no fucking clue what went on in the sparring. Dana needs to sell the fight and part of the sales pitch is convincing the general public that McGregor can really box. That's his motivation to lie right there and Dana has a long history of being dishonest.
No clue what happend huh, I saw a paulie that got beat like a redheaded stepchild, but I guess it was a pushdown or the ever popular conor tripped himQuote:

way to miss the point. There is literally nothing Dana would not lie about in the promotion of a fight. THAT'S the point I was making. I have no interest at all in ever watching those sparring vids or who did what in them.Quote:

You're exactly the half witted fan Dana was gearing that 20 second clip for. You saw 20 seconds of their sparring. Why is this confusing for you. Dana needs to sell the fact that Conor can actually box to sell this fight. He has every motivation to lie. You can bet your ass Dana picked the very best 20 seconds of that 12 rounds and Conor still looked shitty in it. Other than the one stiff straight left he looked sloppy and it reminded me of a tough man fight.Quote:

Danas credibility is that of a saint compared to the alt reality PM is living in.
Get back to your boxing coach and drop some more knowledge on us how this fight will end.
Why won't you take a bet with me that Dana won't release the unedited 12 rounds? If Conor kicked his ass badly they will be happy to release the footage after the fight. It would clear up all the confusion and it would also make Conor look great. They won't release it because it won't fit the narrative Dana is putting out there. I also doubt it fits the bullshit Paulie has been saying either.
It sounds like you're either a big McGregor fan or a Mayweather hater. I'm cheering for McGregor in this fight, I want to see him win but he can't. It's boxing and he's going to get absolutely played with.
