    I think Floyd may knock him out by accident

    He should be on his way to the hospital by the end of the 3rd round.

    Mayweather will hit this lad for fun. Saying that, I really wish it was against a Shawn Porter or an Alvarez. Someone who would seriously bash him up so bad he never wants to set foot inside a boxing ring again.

    That's the big risk. Also, will McGregor's punches hurt Floyd? I guess, we'll see what happens if McGregor lands, but I have a feeling that Floyd is most vulnerable behind the head, where I think McGregor will throw some shots.

    I think this is a stupid fight. Never before have I been worried for Floyd because I always knew that his opponent would most likely lose and doubted that Floyd would take any punishment in return. This time, I worry. I really think there is an opportunity for a huge upset because of McGregor's size and power.

    I don't know if Floyd has enough power. If Floyd comes through and does what he's supposed to do, I will respect the hell out of him like never before. I hope he schools McGregor, but don't get this twisted, McGregor is not a boxer, but he's also not an average MMA fighter either.

    Floyd deserves a lot of credit for this win.

    Nate Diaz is one of the toughest people I have ever seen in my life. And when he gets the upper hand, he finishes you. He was on his way to finishing McGregor even in the second fight, after everything McGregor landed on him, which trust me, was a lot.

    So either McGregor's power is overrated or Diaz is just a warrior. I don't know. Actually, I do know Diaz is a warrior and that still doesn't mean his power is overrated, so what I said is proven to be a fallacy.

    I'm just saying, this guy is a real threat. Being at the top of MMA is a hard position to hold as well. McGregor is not at the same caliber as Floyd was in boxing, but he's still at the top of the weight classes he operates in. That's a tough position to be when your opponent is going to try to do everything he can thinks of that might work in order to beat you.

    Malignaggi apparently made him whimper with body shots....Malignaggi, a man who couldn't knock a toddler over. I appreciate he could well have been talking out of his backside but we all know that he does have skills and I believe that he would have put him through it.

    I don't know if I believe Malinaggi because his story doesn't add up. First Malinaggi says that McGregor is better than advertised, then he goes back, maybe takes some serious shots, and then goes on social media to talk about it to save face.

    Because he says he beat McGregor's ass, but then all of a sudden he turns around and says that McGregor won a lot more rounds than Malinaggi and finished real strong in the final rounds, and the entire scenario was like a fight. Well, maybe it was more like a fight to Malinaggi than it was to McGregor. Afterall, Malinaggi can't really punch, and McGregor is a lot bigger than him.

    I guess we'll see when we finally see the video. Apparently, McGregor's team is going to release some clips this weekend. I'm sure it will be edited to show McGregor beating up Malinaggi, but maybe they will include the "knockdown" that ends up actually being a knockdown.

    If that video does come out and shows Malinaggi getting the hell beat outta him, it's going to be hard as hell for him to be in the booth. That much, I do know.

    McGregor's sparring partner said Malinaggi was digging himself into a hole. That indicates to me that we're going to see Malinaggi getting knocked down.

    All talk? Maybe, but they're about to release a video, so it would be hard for them to allude to that without actually having evidence.

    We'll see.

    I've always wondered why people think that mayweather cant punch. He doesnt knock out people because he doesnt let his hands go, specially his right hand, not because he cant punch.

    The element deciding if conor lives or dies is... mayweather's hands. If his hands are ok, connor will sleep a long long dream on the canvas. If his hands hurt or he feels that he can break them, mcgregor will be completely humilliated but he will end the fight standing.

    Malignaggi is an errand boy for Mayweather sent out to hype the fight. Despite what Mayweather says ticket sales are slow. If ticket sales are slow then ppv view numbers will not be what they are hoping for. The best bet for this fight is '' will the ppv record of 4.6 mil be broken?'' No @ 3/1.

    I think McGregor looks good on the bag and I have big ass ego and never give people credit. I'm saying, he looks a lot better than you would think and actually does come at angles that you may not expect.

    This kid has a chance. Look at what Cortez said about him. The fight is sold regardless. People are just going to tune in, no matter what the newest hype is, but he does look like he knows what he's doing.

    I feel like few people paying attention to this kid, but he switches stances seamlessly. He can throw with both hands. I'm telling you, there are going to be some things that he does, that people just don't do anymore. This kid is special. I can see it now. Don't get it twisted.

    When, Malinaggi didn't know what McGregor was doing, he was referring to this. McGregor was switching it up on him, and Malinaggi had no idea what to do and then he got the **** beat outta him. I'm telling you, I can just look at him hit the bag and put it together.

    I think Floyd might have ****ed up. I think he's too small.
