OT- Another Mayweather / McGregor thread - Who ya got??
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/martin-rogers/2017/07/1…
I am inching my way over to the McGregor camp everytime Floyd opens his mouth. In his press conference he pulled out a check from the 2015 Pacqiou fight.......But at the same time is telling the IRS he cant pay his tax bill until he gets paid from this fight.
I hope for Floyds sake that the check doesn't "void after 90 days" /s
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.
The hardest I've ever been hit in my life was by a professional boxer who weighed no more than 165 lbs. I've been hit by many larger and none of them had the technique to do what that one punch did. No matter the sport, the athlete works their entire career, amateur and professional at perfecting a certain art. Curry, Miller, Bird, Mullins, et. al., became shooting gods on the court. Woods, Nicklaus, Mickelson, etc., perfected the golf swing. Brady, Manning, Namath, the same in throwing the football. Boxers work years attempting to land a punch that will cause the most damage. Even those known as "light hitters" possess twice the punching power of those that are not at the professional level. In a fight pitting a professional boxer vs. a non-professional, listed as a boxing match, I have no idea why anyone would think Mayweather will not destroy him. Those of you who have been hit by even an amateur boxing champion are fully aware of this.
This fight is nothing but a gimmick.
Mayweather by decision. It'll be 12 rounds of block, block jab. Block, block jab. Half the crowd will be asleep and the other half will be booing. Hey look, it's Mayweather vs Pacquio all over again.
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.
