True, he looked crap, this is going to be farcical but I hope and pray he turns this into an mma/UFC type fight when he is losing and gets himself disqualified.Quote:

Showbusiness with blood, simple as, pathetically sad spectacle, hope nobody PPV's it
I'd be amazed if macgregor doesnt get himself disqualified he is still the face of the ufc seeing as rousey buggered up so badly, so I cant seem him signing up to be jabbed in the face for 12 rounds, floyd hasnt knocked anyone out for 6 years and is smaller than macgregor so I think the most likely is that floyd does what he does and will win a fairly boring decision.... But I dont see macgregor being ok with this, i think he throws him to the ground in a semi staged event and gets dq'd, floyd gets to say he easily outboxed him and macgregor gets to say he could beat floyd in a real fight, both get rich and macgregor can go back to the ufc looking like a hero :S..Quote:

dq odds are like 10/1 so i am putting ten canadian quids on that.
also i am not offended by this fight, it is silly but there is no world titles on the line or anything like that, so let em go for it, enough faded boxing guys have gone over to mma and got made fun off, if floyd does what is expected then it will be nice to have a laugh at the mma guy instead this time.
3000$ for nosebleed tickets. A sucker is born every day is a terrible expression. It should be nearly every person born every day is a sucker.
Why not have a joint sticky with this thread being in the MMA and Boxing section?
The MMA section is a bit quiet to say the least
Anyway back to serious predictions from people who actually do the job :-X

The thread was unstickied for some reason.
Knowing your legendary, raging hard on for Mayweather, I'm sure you'll have this thread re-stickied in no time @Master.Quote:

It's official. Conner has landed harder shots on that stage than he will in the ring ;D. And wtf is up with these two dressing up like comic book heroes and walking out of the house?
Here is my main problem. If this were a real fight, this build up and trash talk would be super exciting. I would be all over it. The thing is that we know that Conor knows that he has no shot at winning and is talking trash purely to build the fight. After the fight, he can just say that boxing isn't his sport and that he lost to a great fighter.
I'll watch the fight, but the theatrics are already annoying me.
this build up tho it does get you thinking, does he actually have a chance, can he land the punch
its like when audley fought haye, by the end of it I thought he might even have a chance
In the time I have known you I can say that you are very gullible.Quote:

But trash talk at its core is about messing with the persons head. And Conor has been made angry at each conference. Especially the last(which was worst)
I suppose since this fight isn't real all that matters is entertainment so in that sense Conor wins all day.
There's no way this Connor fella believes this is a joke fight. I didn't know hardly anything about him before but the fucker is fearless, quick witted and a great showman. Floyd shit himself when he got told he'll be killed right now on the stage if he disrespects the Irish flag.
Plus a man that fights for a living wearing knuckle dusters that gets kicked, elbowed, kneed and Chinese burned is clearly not scared of getting pot shotted for 12 rounds by a naturally smaller man with "pillows".
The only way the UFC loses is if he gets knocked unconscious. He goes the distance they go home with the moral of holding their own with the "worlds greatest ever boxer"
Come on Guys! I'm trying not to post on this shit, but surely you can see it , can't you?
I don't know much about this MMA bollocks , except that it's crap! so I just saw some footage on youtube of when McGregor first became World champion with that mythical 13 second ko! he fucking slapped the guy, hit him a couple of times on the floor, and then went running round the Octagon with the Commentators calling him the new World Champion, all within about 3 seconds of hitting his opponent , and the Guy was trying to get up!! the referee was holding him down.
This laughable , and it Stinks. THE GUY WAS TRYING TO GET UP! NO COUNT ,NO NOTHING!
IT'S A FUCKING FIX, THE WHOLE FUCKING LOT OF IT! please tell me you can see it.
normally it would be laughable, but with the money involved and so many people believing it is legit, this is at best immoral and at worst Fraudulent and illegal!
It is a sham. If quality southpaws like Judah, fit, young and aggressive fighters like Hatton, taller fighters like Oscar, biggers fighters Canelo, lost to Floyd how the hell is a 0 fight novice going to win?
Not happening and neither should this fight be. It is priced at $100.
It is live on sky now.
That freak circus is the biggest win-win episode e-v-e-rQuote:

If Connor loses, he can either retire very rich or go back to UFC with his legacy untarnished.
If he wins, well, he just writes another page of history (that part is super unlikely though).
Honestly, MacGregor has like 5% chances of winning, no more, and that's if he somehow manages to knock out Floyd in the first 3 rounds. He has the power and timing to do so, but there is so much more playing against him in that fight that it would be foolish to really see some competition here.
Personally, I won't be paying a dime to watch that, I am not even curious. The only way I'd watch it is if my buddies from the gym rent it somewhere as it would be solely an excuse to hang out with them.
It's as interesting as if Mayweather would challenge Rubben "Cobrinha" in a jiu jitsu "superfight" or if Mayweather would challenge MacGregor in a Mma fight.
If people want to see a real boxing contest watch GGG v Canelo. That is a real fight.
You are giving Conor a 5% chance at winning? Wow. You are very generous. Also, if he had a 5% chance at winning then this fight becomes much more interesting. Most interest is lost because he has about a 0.001% chance of winning.Quote:

Let's say Conor somehow catches Floyd. He has been hit many times during his career. No way does Conor hit anywhere near as hard as his previous opponents. He is also much slower. Conor winning would be far and away the biggest upset in sports history. It wouldn't even be close. It would be like Kentucky basketball beating the Warriors in a playoff series. It just wouldn't happen.
McGregor has never fought 12 rounds before, olympic champions take years to adjust to the professional game and 12 rounds. How is he going to do it in 8 weeks?
The circus leading up to this farce is more entertaining than the fight itself will be.

I get the argument there are better fights but why do people keep pointing to this as an example? Canelo hid out between weights because he was afraid of fighters up or down. So how is this so great? The MW champion against one of the 4 best Jr MWs possibly, we don't know because he hid at Caneloweight. Yippee. The MW Champ will fight another former WW, one who lost every round to a guy who started at 130. Every round. GGG vs Canelo should not be our example of a real fight. It's a payday. If boxing fans believe this is the best the sport has to offer I'm saddened. Chastising one con while buying another con hook line and sinker. Let them fool the casuals but let's not be dupes along side them.Quote:

Gotta say, I'm more interested in Broner v Garcia as a fight.
Odds for mayweather win are now 1/5.5 with Paddy power... Am I crazy to think if it goes to 1/4 I'll put on a couple of grand? I can't believe the odds for this fight
The fight is made eventually and it is the best fight in the division. It is a real fight.Quote:

Yeah, I know, I am being generous, but considering that Connor has a great timing and tremendous power, I thought that albeit a bit generous, 5% was still fair. I wouldn't argue against anybody like you telling me I should see with a reductive correction my ratio ;)Quote:
