giraldi02 470 Posted July 25, 2017 I agree with Tyson. But I think McGregor will not lose, he will be disqualified. McGregor isn't that stupid. The contract they signed explicitly states his purse is lessened if he gets DQ'd. Not to mention the fact that Mayweather could sue him for breach of contract.

Not to mention the fact that Mayweather could sue him for breach of contract. Just sayin that if McGregor tries to stand and box he'll be slaughtered, which I am pretty sure he knows already. He'll try to get close, which could lead to a headbutt or other infraction. The guy is not a boxer and he is facing perhaps the GOAT. It will be miracle if he doesn't do something worth at least a warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted July 25, 2017 They should have made at least a LITTLE bit even. Not all tailored to the dipsh1t who can't read. At least allow kicking but no take downs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iam90sbaby 2,122 Posted July 25, 2017 Ha that would be funny...just goes for takedown right out of that gait. YOLO!! Right when the bell rings just run up and knee the motherfocker in the face, knock him out and just start acting like an animal. Would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted July 26, 2017 Best case scenario... after one round mcgregor goes mma on him and kicks him to the canvas and unloads on him knocking him sensless with elbows before the refs jump in. Then stands up and screams... never hit a woman again, then coming out as a transgender woman and planting a huge kiss on caitlyn Jenner!!! Or he could bite his ear.

the s is ilent 69 Posted July 27, 2017 McGregor did box as an amateur with 4 losses. Losses to 4 ams is not in Mayweathers league. It won't be close. My prediction: McGregor tires after 5 rds and Floyd goes to work. The ref stops the contest with Conor taking to many unanswered punches. Keys to victory: Mayweather-show up and box Mcgregor-Sweep the leg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giraldi02 470 Posted July 27, 2017 If I'm McGregor, I base my strategy off the guy that just beat Pacquaio. Lock up Mayweather early and often. Try to get a cheap headbutt that causes a gash. Even if you get docked a point, it might be an effective way to even the fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keys to victory: Mayweather-show up and box Mcgregor-Sweep the leg Interesting about the amateur fights. Good prediction, 5 may even be too many with floyds counterpunching skills. Also watch the headbutts, it could be ruled no contest. Which could even be the plan for a rematch considering how shady these promotions are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 816 Posted July 27, 2017 The guy is not a boxer and he is facing perhaps the GOAT. "McGregor has a puncher's chance." Yeah, and so did 49 PROFESSIONAL boxers before him. It'd be ridiculous for McGregor to fight any professional boxer, let alone the GOAT. This is the most ridiculous sporting event ever. My prediction is McGregor gets DQ'd round 5-6 on purpose..... eats into his purse, but sets up another MONSTER PAYDAY rematch. How else can it go? McGregor gets schooled for 12 rounds and everyone feels stupid for even watching? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skanker 0 Posted July 27, 2017 Agree that he will lose. But I think he will land a couple of shots and won't go down as easily as people think. I think he'll do enough to warrant talk of a rematch in the Octagon. Floyd loves money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewbieJr 540 Posted July 27, 2017 The only way this could be fair, would be a best of 3 Boxing MMA Deathmatch MMA wouldn't be fair. McGregor boxes as part of his skillset. In fact, punching is the most effective part of his arsenal. Mayweather couldn't beat a high school wrestler in wrestling. Or some small town brown belt if they were allowed to kick. I like your deathmatch idea though. Give them both guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
