8 ounce gloves being requested by Floyd/McGregor: rules say 10 ounce!

[GaMo]

Floyd will wait and tire Conor out and slowly take him apart. Even Olympic boxers who have trained for years do not start their boxing career with a 12 round contest and they are super fit. What chance has someone who has never boxed before? None. It is absurd.

Floyd should be ashamed of himself.

I can't blame Floyd because he never asked for it.
Conor called him out and gave him the chance to make a lot of money
If I was in Floyd's shoes I'd take an easy payday (who wouldn't)

Lomoanchko started with a 12 round fight didn't he?
I think Katsidis went 12 rounds in his second fight
I don't think the distance will be a problem.

His problem is he's not used to getting hit
And he'll get hit a lot in this fight. His defence isn't great
And Floyd is one of the most accurate punchers in Boxing.

If anyone is cheating the fans it's Conor
But I'm sure he'll take a mighty fine beating for it.

[Primo Carnera]

For some strange reason McGregor thinks with smaller gloves it will halve the time he sparkos Floyd.

Yeah, he said he'll do it in four in 10oz gloves
And it'll only take two if he's wearing 8oz gloves
Apparently 2oz equal two rounds in Conor's world.

He actually believes he's going to shock the world
And show us all something new. I thought he was here to get paid
But he actually believes what he says (I think) and that's worse.

I saw him working the heavybag and it was fucking embarrasing
He had his hands low and his head high and he was dancing around the bag
I don't think he expects to get hit back and he's in for a shock.

How many punches has he actually taken in his career?
Wonder how he'll respond to getting hit 40 times per round
This fight is not going the distance!

Why? for taking a shit load of cash for an easy night's work. you would do the same. YOU should be ashamed of yourself taking this shit seriously.

I would never cheat the fans and would never take the money.

Easy to say when you've never been there.
I bet You're one of those Football fans who says about the Owner of the team you support "he should go out and spend a few million!" Easy when it's not you're dough. 😏

Owners run it as a business and do not go into buying clubs because of the goodness of their hearts.

Yeah, so why do they need an opinion from you? have you given them advice on any of their other businesses?

[powerpuncher]

I'm wondering what floyds game is with this. Does he think it increases his chance of a KO? Because if he doesn't knockout mcgregor then he will be getting a lot of hate. Or maybe he is just trying to show that he is willing to give into some of mcgregors demands. I don't know.

It gives him a slim chance that he can land the big knockout punch but if Corley, Zab, and Manny could not do it then Conor will certainly not either.

[GaMo]

He doesn't want to hear Conor's excuses after the fight
And Floyd likes fighting in small gloves anyway
It was Oscar and Cotto who demanded 10oz gloves against him.

[imp]

If Floyd does not KO CM within 12 rounds then we know for sure all he really cares about is the money.

He must KO CM.

[El Kabong]

we know for sure all Floyd really cares about is the money.

Fixed it for you

[GaMo]

Floyd hasn't scored a knockout since 2011
And he's he's gone the distance 10 times in his last 11 fights
He hasn't actually scored a knockdown since 2011
But you'd fancy he could hit Conor enough to force a stoppage
I reckon the corner will stop it or he'll quit on his stool.

Yes, it should be a Gatti type stoppage and victory.

My thoughts exactly. That's the fight it will most likely resemble.
