I can see McGregor starting to lose, not knowing what he's doing then puts a nice kick in ?

But im going to say McGregor to win

Yes, then got to stay up till 2am Sunday to watch Season finale of GoT

McGregor hasn't got any defence according to Steve Collins junior, which means Mayweather will pick up the early rounds on points quite easily.

I've put a fiver on round six for Mayweather at 12-1 but I wouldn't be surprised if it went the distance with a Unanimous decision to Mayweather and McGregor calling for a rematch.

I think it says "early reports claim he was shot in his jeep" not actually shot in his jeep, the bench picture could just be for the shock factor as there was 2 people shot and only one on the park bench

No-one was shot it's bull , the photo was of a victim of the Washington sniper in 2012

Look at the other stories on the original site linked it's full of conspiracy rubbish

I'll shoot myself.... if MacGregor wins. 

lol

Mcgregors got this in the bag, who has took a shot from Mcgregor and said he cant punch? Alvarez said himself, he was in front of Mcgregor, next second he was looking up at him from the ground, thinking wtf was that. Mayweather will suffer the same fate, he wont see it coming, then it will be all over.

I don't know much about MMA.

Seen a few fight's it looks explosive to watch. But to me I cannot see how the MMA training will translate into boxing.

MacGregor is obviously a skilled and talented cage fighter but a whole new approach and skill set will be needed in the boxing ring.

I'm biased anyway towards this as I do boxing.

Connor gunna get smashed.?

Boxing is only one discipline of MMA, Taking away the 6 other limbs, wrestling and grappling side of things, the 5 minute rounds with only 1 minute of rest, instead 1 minute rest every 3 minutes. The extra disciplines of MMA make it an exhausting sport physically and mentally, Mcgregor not having to worry about anything but Mayweathers 2 hands is a benefit Mcgregor and in his own words, "only half a fight". Hopefully Mayweather isnt dismissing Mcgregors boxing like everyone else for his own sake.

Boxing or fighting!!!! don't get confused.

Watch the video k-man posted. 

MacGregor will go out to fight that's the only way he has chance.

It's not like Mayweather hasn't faced people that can punch before though is it ?  He's been facing the best boxers for twenty years . The only thing McGregor has got that could worry Mayweather is unpredictability . Of course he's got a punchers chance like you get in every fight but he's never faced anyone with the defensive skills of Mayweather .

They are completely different disciplines , to me boxing is far more tactical . Hitting and not getting hit , wearing your opponent down .it's not like the explosive fights you see in MMA. Landing that big punch will be so much harder in boxing than in MMA .

Let's see McGregor put on a few pounds and fight GGG a man in his prime , he would batter the **** out of McGregor

Agree on predicability and GGG.

A skilled boxer will always school a fighter, unless he gets drawn into toe to toe.. then it's down to power and stamina.?

That's because what's safe in boxing isn't safe in the real world 

A safe place to put your head in boxing could be ducking into a kick or knee

How you position yourself could leave you open to an easy takedown

"Let's see McGregor put on a few pounds and fight GGG a man in his prime , he would batter the **** out of McGregor"

Conor vs smaller technical boxers with pillow fists = possible win

Conor vs same size power puncher = disaster

He would destroy them all in the Octagon though

McGreggor to be disqualified in round 6 or 7,   Mayweather comprehensively outscores McGreggor on points for 5 rounds, McGreggor knees Mayweather in the groin - "sorry about that I forgot where I was".  Mayweather wins on a disqualification leaving a big money rematch a possibility.

I'm thinking about the same but I think it will be a stray elbow and will cut him and be call off.    Buzzing for it 

[Kman]

I never bet so forgive me being a bit dumb.. 

I just signed up with BetSafe for £10

As a new customer they let you bet £1 on Conor to win @ 49-1

They also double your initial deposit so I have £19 left

I can bet the £19 on Floyd to win By KO TKO Or Disqualification, 7/10, if he does I will win £32.30

I can't see it going 12 rounds and to a decision, I don't think Conor will have the cardio for it

If Conor wins £40, or Floyd wins by stopping him 22 ish

6 other limbs? the mind boggles

I assume you've discounted the fists?

[Jay2]

I hope it ends in 6 seconds like an abridged episode of One Punch Man.

My backup hope is that it goes on and on and fecking on, a full-on yawn-fest of dodging which ends with a lot of sweaty knackered hugging until they give up.

And so we never see another hyped non-fight like this ever again. Unless there are sharks involved.  LMAO

Conor's defence and stamina aren't good enough for it to be boring

He will either KO Floyd early or end up getting schooled

in combat, elbows and knees are considered limbs, so taking away elbows, knees and kicks yes lol

[sovereignsteve]

I see where you're coming from although thinking of a knee and foot as two separate limbs is kinda weird

I feel that turned out pretty accurate

Conor lost to exhaustion as much as anything Floyd did, just has cardio issues for whatever reason

 

[daz]

Don't know about that , @Kman in the later rounds all the quality was coming from Mayweather .
