They agreed on 8 oz gloves... I dont think Mayweather realizes just how hard Conor hits...lol
McGregor has made a career of proving people wrong, and I may be the only guy in the world, I believe he will knock Mayweather out with a flurry, beginning with body punches.
His karate, muay thai style the way he closes distance is going to be unlike any boxer mayweather has ever seen.
Everyone asks what Conor can show him 49 professional boxers haven't been able to.... just watch past fights with boxers, they all try to jab their way in, typical boxer bob n weaving, and Conor does not close distances like that.
Mayweather is a pro at the shoulder roll, but watch fights with pro boxers, they throw 2-3 punches, then stand back to watch what mayweather does...
McGregor wont do that. Anyone who has watched fighting for many many years like I have knows one very important thing about punching.
It is the punch that you DONT SEE, the punch that you DONT SHOULDER ROLL is the one that turns your lights out.
Mayweather is the best defensive boxer we've seen however, defense will not be enough in this fight.
Conor is a master of cutting off the ring and hunting down his opponents. They either turn to a wrestler after he punches them, or they turn defensive, playing right into HIS traps.
TO get McGregor off of you you have to KNOCK him off of you. Mayweather hasn't knocked ANYONE out since Sep 17, 2011.... with six DECISION wins since then...
Reason I say that, McGregor is used to fighting guys with 4 oz gloves trying ot take his head off... Mayweather poses virtually no threat of knocking Conor out...
Conor has three losses in UFC...ALL ARE BY SUBMISSION... Floyd has NO CHANCE of submitting Conor...which is the ONLY way he has ever lost.
So, having said that, Conors record is Total 24 fights, 21 WINS
18 Knockouts, 3 submission losses, Conors knock out percentage is
86% of people he fought he KO'd
People saying Conor has no boxing experience? He's been boxing since he was 12 yrs old, he has fought MANY boxers in MMA, and while i have to say none are floyd mayweather, any boxer he's faced, NONE beat him...only submission fighters have beaten him.
Floyd doesnt nor can he submit Conor, his only hopes are to back up and try to avoid punches, or hold on... because he poses no real threat with his handfs as far as KO'ing Conor, could it happen? Sure...
People saying Conor wont hit Floyd... COme one now, show me ONE fighter than didnt land a single punch on Floyd..one...
So back to what I said back there, everyone turns defensive with Conor when he pops them on the jaw, they either go to their wrestling or they start being defensive...
So, knowing all of that Conor will not point fight Mayweather, he is coming to FIGHT
He will throw more than a couple punches then stand back and watch like boxers do..
No doubt floyd will shoulder roll 1, 2, 3 punches, but believe me when I tell you, Conor will step in with 4, 5, 6 punches,... back to what I originally said, the punches you see and avoid arent the ones you need to watch out for, its the one you DONT see, the 4,5,6 punch that catches you, and THAT is how I predict this to go...
A KO or TKO by McGregor after setting it up with a huge body punch... my .02 how I see this...
