i agree.i wont pay for this "fight" myself.its all about the ppv ratings.not to say im not interested to see what happens.mma fighters who are getting outboxed generally try and take their opponents to the mat.this not being allowed i'm curious to see how CM is going to react to a world class boxer.i see cm trotting around the ring a lot
theres going to be a lot of "fools"from ireland buying this card as well,homie

Duevto.pride maybe Irish people will watch, but lets be honest whats the point of this fight?? competition? belt? money?? ohhh yesš money, somebody will pay to watch some big mouth being beaten in the ring... IF ITS PURE BOXING MATCH,HE DOESNT HAVE A CHANCE..but if there were just few moddification on clasicc boxing match, maybe then he would have a chance,and it would be more interesting to watch..

Interesting, watching McGregor Diaz 2, I'm wondering where all that supernatural KO power is, McGregor doesn't hit all that much harder than some of the best boxers, if he even hits as hard considering. In his prime I'd even venture to say Mayweather might have hit harder, go watch him TKO Gatti, or bounce Hatton off the corner ropes.
It's a huge difference, not only power wise but also punches getting threw the guard.
If you covered up like that with mma gloves you'd be separated from your consciousness for it. It also makes it hard to see what's coming, but it's only a left or right hand in boxing so you can get away with it more.
If they would allow one of these minor changes either mma gloves, leg kicks, or clinching/dirty boxing it would completely change the outcome.
I think Mcgregor is going to do better than people think. I'm curious to see the distance he keeps, if he switches back and forth south paw/orthodox, and his hand positioning. In mma your hands are usually held lower to defend take downs and catch kicks. I'm curious to see how it plays out, not curious enough to pay for it though.
I'm not a huge fan of either guy but I'm hoping McGregor pulls it off some how. I can't cheer for a guy that beats up women in front of his kids.

I'm not woman beater but Sometimes you got to put B'+++ in her place...
I'm with you on how CM has a chance.This is what i have been talkin with the coworkers for weeks.CM needs to figure out how to get in and wear FM down with some solid punches.He's going to have to hurt FM to take away the defense of FM.As you said CM HAS to smother FM because i just can't see it happening in the middle of the ring.It's gonna have to happen on the ropes or in the corner.I feel if this happens enough he WILL get his knockout later into the rounds.
Conner again has made his prediction.....inside 4 rounds.Wouldn't that be something!?!?

tbh the more pressers I watch the more I'm starting to think mcgregor can pull it off, he's damn confident and that's huge. In sure mayweather won't get a ko on him if he wins it's gonna be by decision and that gives mcgregor a lot of time to wear him down, I'm kinda think he's got more of a chance then everyone tinks, sorry, thinks...and if he does pull it off that's pretty much the death of boxing

Tell that to Gaethje..

This is precisely the point of the pressers
Prior to LA, I give McGregor 1% chance...
Now he has like 10%
Keep in mind, any opponent Floyd has beaten could have brought this same kind of fire to a presser and in the end did it matter? All that fire on stage doesn't mean shit in the ring, but it does impact the ppv buys.
People forget that Floyd knocked out the best at that time.. Gatti was supposed to maul Floyd and ended up throwing in the towel. Hatton was supposed to mutilate Mayweather and his head was bouncing off of posts as he went out... Cotto, he's a fucking beast, go look at his face after their fight... on and on and on.. people act like Floyd doesn't hit hard.
I'd be willing to put up money for psi Floyd vs McGregor in their prime straight left vs straight right, Floyd hit just as hard.
Gaethje won't know how to tie his shoe's in 5 years. His fight against Johnson was seconds away from being stopped according to the ref.

Yeah, that's him. The one on a medical suspension until 2018 sometime from winninghim?

You cannot conveniently omit the handful of other fighters who received the same (potential) suspension (lacking med clearance for earlier return) as if Gaethje's style warranted the suspension, it's routine. He'll be cleared and fight this year.
I was talking about the the effectiveness of covering up with boxing or mma gloves and why it would be a bad idea for Mayweather to accept anything other than boxing gloves. He couldn't use 4oz MMA gloves the same way he uses 10oz boxing gloves defensively, you said tell that to Gaethje. That's why I only mentioned him. He won the fight but took more damage than the guy he beat. He was unconscious albeit briefly and he recovered quick that doesn't change the damage done. He has the longest suspension of any winning fighter on the card, with the exception of the guy's who broke hands or feet.

@KryptoBud I was only offering that it did work for Gaethje like a smartass. I believe there were 6 fighters total that share the same pending/tentative suspension/return date as Gaethje.

Johnson should have fucked him up, to bad he got into a pissing match with gaethje. Shoulda kept your distance, you dumb fuck.
