Possibly the most contrived match up ever!
Admire both in their specialist fields but this? Not for me. Just doesn't sit right!

Chris I just take it for what it is. These guys are all prize fighters at the end of the day, even Ali fought a wrestler once.

I remember that. A complete farce. The wrestler spent most of the fight on his back trying to kick Ali's legs, and I think Ali finally threw a punch half way through the fight. A complete non event, and they decided to call it a draw if my memory is right.

I think it's farce this, just stick to your sport.. might as well get Lydiate and Warburton in the Wales squad as our centre halves next.
As much of a farce this will be I will be watching it as it is being shown on the big screen in Creamfields but I would never a million years pay to watch this.

Boxing has become a joke, I can't wait for this fight lol.

When I used to train we would often call a session with no kicking allowed, when you train to fight with your legs it's so hard to fight and to not instinctively kick out. Will be interesting to see how McGregor gets on not kicking or grappling, your focusing a lot of your mind on not kicking so can often get caught out.

McCregor making his pro-debut against an all time great. He's got a great chance

How do you think McGregor would do with the all Ireland Amateur light middle weight champion ?
I guess he'd lose.

Mayweather on points for me.
The only chance mcgregor has is a shock knockout ( if he can catch him ).
The interesting part of this fight will be the stance mcgregor uses. If he decides to stick with his low knees bent ufc stance he will be very hard to hit. If he stands up in a orthodox boxing stance he has no chance.

Mayweather will jab for 12 round and Mcgregor will hit him twice

10/1 for mayweather to win by disqualification. My prediction is Mcgregor will go after Mayweather, Mayweather will dodge him and just jab, Mcgregor will lose his head, take him down and choke him out

Two horrible human beings but Mayweather will destroy him

Jack, like me you're a big fan and knowledgeable of of both sports, so I can see where you're coming from and respect that
I'm just disappointed that the big winners will be the TV companies and worry where the already contrived future of sport is going with the influence they have
Don't remember the Ali thing though

Its not worth a tenner because it's in conors contract that he looses his purse if he deviates from boxing. Plus, he wouldn't anyway, he's a martial artists and true martial artists fight with honor.

Will be interesting to see if Mayweather's legs have gone. If he doesn't have the stamina and McGregor catches him you never know.
Fri Jun 16, 2017 11:25 pm
A joke. Why is this happening? For one reason only to make McGregor, Mayweather and Dana White a shed load of millions. All they need is the gullible to purchase it. It's like Cardiff City team taking on the British lions at Rugby and convincing everyone they stand a chance of beating them.
It's a freak show and it will overshadow every legitimate UFC and Boxing match until McGregor and Floyd walk out to clown music and looking at all the gullible people they have conned. If you buy then don't bitch like a woman when you have realised you have been had.

McGregors going to get sparked out fast. Theres a video on youtube of him sparring and hes getting caught all the time.
Mon Jun 19, 2017 10:48 am
Kudos to Connor.... he has set himself and his children up for life.
Fight is a promo dream come true and a spectacle.
But even in retirement Floydd aint gonna jeopardise shit to his 0 on his record. Talented yes but he has always waited for the right time to face dangerous opponents.
Shut Out.......

Plus Conor was a good amateur boxer from 8 years old until he became interested in MMA when he was around 15 years old. Once he started MMA he didn't look back hence why he's one of the best strikers in the UFC.
I wouldn't underestimate him. Saying that, he's fighting one of the greatest boxers of our generation, that's why I can't wait to see it personally.
