Placid Report post Posted June 15, 2017 Nothing would make me happier than to see Floyd "Suckerpunch" Mayweather knocked out cold. If Connor connects he will definitely have problems, but I fear it will be another dodge-dodge-poke fight. If Conor wins though it will be a huge boost for MMA, which is likely the reason Dana allows it. That and $$$ ofc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Placid Report post Posted June 15, 2017 Here's Conor boxing - http://www.mmamania.com/2017/6/15/15808758...sick-mayweather Lol, I really hope he adapts his style more than this to boxing, fighting like that does not work when kicks, takedowns, elbows, knees and running backwards 30 feet is out of the equation. He will need to land a KO in the first couple of rounds, or see himself jabbed to bits like Diaz did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
escobar Report post Posted June 15, 2017 Am I the only one that thinks McGregor has a chance? He is bigger, longer, stronger......one flush connection and it could be a bad day for Mayweather. Mayweather's got a chin. Boxing is a different sport than MMA and the guys train for years taking shots to the head. No ground game, no kicks, no wrestling, nothing. Just straight punches to the body and head. All that aside, so many upsets these past 2 years. I wouldn't be surprised if McGregor wins it. Edit - just watched the video Porter posted. Yikes.. if he's not sandbagging, that's amateur level bad. Edit 2 - That video is also from 2016.. hopefully McGregor got better.

Full - Do boxers really train taking punches to the head? I mean won't that cause brain damage pretty quickly? I always thought boxers trained to deal with getting punched at the head, but don't actually take shots to the head. What amazes me is how many MMA fighters have such lousy cardio when the fights are only three rounds. Boxers can go for twelve rounds, so an MMA fighter ought to be able to handle three.

WheelsRCool Report post Posted June 15, 2017 Its a joke that someone who hasn't boxed even as an amateur can challenge a champion. Hundreds of hungry fighters who have trained for years don't get the chance.. then some loud mouth douche gets a chance? Its a circus show. Connor is a tough cunt when he is utilizing an arsenal of tactics for MMA. His boxing is decent for an MMA guy but NOWHERE compared to a guy who trains strictly boxing. Whole thing is a farce, and they are both colossal douchebags. The only people who lose in this are the ppv and ticket holders. Also MMA fighters. Guys train for years in that as well, and then this guy is going to get $100 million...!? Hell I'd get in the ring with Mike Tyson in his prime if I was being paid $100 million to do it. Any physical injuries I'd be able to pay for Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
szabo_martin Report post Posted June 15, 2017 Haha minus dying... the cardio thing... MMA is VERY strenuous cardio wise... u expend HUGE amounts of energy where as boxing is more paced... but keeping your hands up for 12 rounds is something you need to train Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Boy Report post Posted June 16, 2017 Another nail in the coffin for boxing. Not sure about that. Those of us who are watching for the silly drama know what's up.

RyanRo24 Report post Posted June 17, 2017 Win or lose Conor has already won IMO. This fight came about just from him running his mouth on social media. He made this happen from nothing and his payday will easily be the largest ever in his career. If he loses everyone kind of already expected it. If he somehow gets lucky and wins it'll be huge. Win/win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestShoot Report post Posted June 17, 2017 It's boxing, not fighting. FM is a master at boxing and moving. Connor will grab and grind and be a sloppy boxer. He'll get warned trying to break his old habits. If this was a fight, Connor would mutilate FM, he'd grab mister "hide behind my gloves" and open him up like a date rape.

FikseSTS Report post Posted June 18, 2017 I sure hope Mayweather gets beat, sucks it all has to be on Mayweather's terms, etc... boxing is dead for a reason, it's boring.. MMA is hot because it's more "real"... if they are such badasses, let them fight it out for real... betting will be nutz, you can even bet on the over/under number of PPV orders for the fight!

Castor Troy Report post Posted June 20, 2017 FACT: You have a guy with 0 boxing experience, 0 wins and 0 knockouts fighting a guy with 20+ years experience, 49 wins, 29 KOs and 0 losses. I'm not paying a dime to watch this garbage. Either Connor will last 30 seconds or Mayweather will run from him for 12 rounds. Neither are worth paying money to watch. This is just a money grab.
