    I've never seen Floyd look uncomfortable like that. He kept his hands down and kept trying to not push Conner everytime conner got too close. You could see Floyd's hands gently touching Conner as if Floyd was nervous not to push him too hard and set Conner off. And just Floyd's body language, he looked awkward. Not that any of this really matters when you're facing a guy you have 1000x more skill then.

    Only because McGregory is a cage fighter.

    I'm stumped. Vegas fears the decision more than the stoppage.

    A true 'KO' is always a stupid bet. A TKO isn't just a ref stopping it without a knockdown or a corner retirement. If a guy's concussed with one punch and the ref stops it immediately rather than counting to 10 it's a TKO, not a KO.

    Depends on how punishment he takes before being stopped and if Floyd fights on the front foot he`s more likely to get the KO compared to a lot of his fights where he was on the backfoot, if he gets hit with the shot that knocked Hatton out which Mayweather set up very smartly then I think that would be unfair, plus Floyd trained on having more power for the Pac fight and Manny was very wary because of the power in the counter right, I don`t know if Floyd has worked on power for this so if he KO`S Conner maybe there`s a case he has a glass jaw but what does that say about MMA punches because although he`s been stung a couple of times people say he has a great jaw.

    I did love the mocking motion Floyd gave conner as he walked away though. I actually thought that was funny. Floyd reminded me of one of the kids off cartoon Fat Albert.

    Come on, back up your boy BY KNOCKOUT. Pretty close to even money. McGregor won't land a punch, and after a couple rounds Floyd will be TEARING UP McGregor on the inside. I'm thinking Floyd badly hurts him with a body shot.

    That's a good way to bet it. Floyd straight is insane value, and by stoppage will be a cherry on top for you.

    That's one hell of a buddy you got there, one of the best I've heard tale of. Best hold onto that one with both hands, you got yourself a keeper :Laie_22mini:

    Let's be honest, we're all expecting Mayweather to win this fight. McGregor has a slim chance of winning because of his power, size and unconventional technique. Here's what I think McGregor has that can surprise Mayweather.

    - His ability to cover distance when throwing his left hand. It's not a conventional boxing technique, and boxing trainer don't train fighters to throw this way. McGregor can throw a left hand from what may seem out of range and still land on the target. That's what Mayweather could possibility get caught with.

    - McGregor's version of the pull counter. McGregor loves to counter the right hand, no doubt that punch that Mayweather will throw since he's fighting a southpaw. McGregor usually slips the right hand and counters with his straight left.

    - His lead left hand. Pacquiao throws it the same way, but Pacquaio's got short arms, while McGregor has long arms.

    - McGregor's uppercuts. He throws lead uppercuts with his left hand, something that most boxers don't do. If Floyd ducks to this right, he better watch out for Conor's left uppercut. I've also seen him throw lead right uppercuts, and a right uppercut, left hand combination.

    - His movement. People want to compare McGregor to Gatti, but Gatti has cement feet. McGregor can move around with ease and use his footwork for offense and defense.

    Those are great odds. I would bet Conor between 1-3 rounds and Floyd between 4-6 rounds

    i fully expect quick and violent fight.

    Just curious,what are the odds for Conor by decision?i mean that would be some santaclaus unicorn **** right there

    Virgil Hunter said re Conor that he doesn't have a boxers trunk and actually likened his body to a woman's waist,maybe he's an illuminati tranny lol,whatever I don't reckon his body will hold up if Floyd gets in there with 8oz gloves

    Gentleman! The Romans were maybe the finest people to ever walk this Earth and they sold out the Colosseum 80k seats every night for 400+yrs to see entertaining slaughters and witness the occasional massive upset!

    Let's just stop pretending Floyd isn't 40 yrs old and hasn't competed in 2yrs. Let's also stop pretending to be holier than thou and act like he's fighting Ronald McDonald.

    McGregor is a professional fighter, professional striker and a world champion cage fighter. He's also a world class athlete. Purely as a physical specimen he's much more impressive than Canelo, Pac, Cotto, Berto or Marcos F'ucking Maidana. He's ready to fight a f'ucking bear. He's also just incredibly awkward and can punch with power.

    Is he as crazy as he pretends to be? Does he have balls like UFC fans tell us he does? Cause if he does he'll go in there like a kamikaze and that'll be worth the cost of pitching in for a fight party. Floyd will be forced to punch him off and that's how broken hands happen (which i believe is his only real shot)

    If he lays down like a ***** though i'll never let my UFC friends forget it. Not ever.

    If Floyd looks blazing fast and masterful as he boxes McGregor ears off....boxing could potentially pick up some new fans and curiosity will build for the real fight on Sep 16th.

    Boxing only stands to benefit if this fight is at least a little exciting and ends in a knockout.

    why are people even talking about this? This is Floyd ripping people off for money... It is ridiculous. Colin has one way to fight. Go crazy and swing and throw 150 punches a round.. I don't know that is all. take a chance in round one and go crazy.... See what happened.. uppercuts maybe. I don't know..
