OT- Another Mayweather / McGregor thread - Who ya got??

50 cent "followed up by challenging Mayweather to read one page of a Harry Potter book—with no screwups—in exchange for a $750,000 donation to charity in an ALS/ESL (correction: he actually said ASL/ELS) Challenge'"

Anyone who thinks Mayweather cant hurt or seriously bloody and bruise a novice boxer like Mcgregor doesnt follow much boxing. Mayweather hasnt accumulated many stoppages later in his career as when he was 25 blowing guys like Corrales and Gatti away, but he has hurt and stunned the likes of Oscar, Cotto, and Garcia. He also KO'd Hatton and dropped Marquez.

 

I wouldnt be surprised if Mcgregors corner throws in the towel from the accumulation of damage Mcgregor is going to take, not to mention the fact Mcgregor has never fought a 12 round fight before.

 

 

I'll be buying the fight with a group of friends and will be the only one cheering for Mayweather. I'm thinking it's going to distance with McGregor getting lucky and winning 1 round.

I enjoy MMA. I've seen some of McGregor's fights, and he's a legitimate champion. The Nate Diaz fights were classics - some of the best the sport has to offer. And he has nothing to lose here, because it's on Mayweather's turf. I was wondering why Mayweather would take the fight, but the IRS story explains that. I'll be rooting for McGregor, in major part because of Mayweather's history of violence toward women - not just the one incident he served time for. It's a testimony to what boxing is today that he's still worth PPV money. I won't add one cent to that total, even though I am interested in the fight. That said, it's a ridiculous fight. I'd watch, just for the 1-in-100 chance McGregor has in landing a wild shot cleanly. The guy can throw a punch, though it remains to be seen whether he can generate the necessary power to hurt Mayweather. But Mayweather is maybe the best ever at not getting hit. I think that works in McGregor's favor in that he will fly around at angles no professional boxer will try. In terms of style matchup, it's not a bad one for him. But Mayweather will have no trouble landing decent shots and McGregor will wear down quickly. He has to know his best strategy is to come out like a maniac. And I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the first round or two. My guess is Mayweather by decision in a fight that will get really boring after the second or third round. Or Mayweather will get confident enough as McGregor wears down to unleash enough to put him away in the fourth or fifth. This is not a criticism of McGregor's cardio. He's an amazing athlete. He just doesn't know how or particularly want to preserve himself.

I will eat 5 lemons, an orange, two bananas, and a whole watermelon if Floyd loses.

This fight is nothing but a gimmick. 

McGregor can't last 12 rounds. He's gone 15 minutes max, right? Alot of those minutes are spent on the ground in a hold and not in an aerobic capacity. I don't see how he lasts, he needs to get to Floyd early or it's over.
