Dont think Maywether has fought anyone with the unique type movement McGregor shows...who knows???
He has knockout power with those little gloves on. Doubt he'll carry the same with boxing gloves on.
Like a MMA style movement? That's maybe because floyd fights boxers.Dont think Maywether has fought anyone with the unique type movement McGregor shows...who knows???
I can't see why anyone would side with a woman beating, sucker-punching, fake-gangster who is literally one of the dullest PPV draws in the history of combat sports over McGregor. But hey, each to their own.

Im wondering how CMG will not use his elbows legs or knees , also wondering if he gets caught how the survival instinct & years of grappling & locking up etc wont just kick in automatically ..
UFC fighters come to fight , one of the reasons its getting so popular . FM wont come to fight , he will come to win a fight his way
Curious how it will pan out ,two of the great showmen . wouldnt pay for it tho
:rofl:
Illegal elbow knockout would be soooo awesome.
It'll be in Conor's contract that if he elbows, kicks, chokes Floyd he'll lose his purse. Won't happen, as much as it'd be hilarious. In a real fight it'd be embarrassing for Floyd.
Huh? Also, no counter to the Sport Science video? Thought Conor would lose his KO power with the bigger gloves?
Also, saw this earlier, Conor talks some trash and can be a bit flash, but there's no doubt in my mind that he's a sound guy. Can't say the same for Mr Mayweather.

I love how people think he has no boxing experience...
While he has made his name as a mixed martial artist, McGregor was once a promising young boxer. He walked into the Crumlin Boxing Club in Dublin at the age of 12 and his first trainer, Phil Sutcliffe, spoke to Boxing News about what McGregor was like in those developmental stages.
“He was just like any other kid who walked into the gym wanting to join a boxing club, he had to get his parents’ permission first,†he said.
“He trained very, very hard, he was one of the kids you never had to shout at, he was very focused. He wanted to be a good boxer and he was getting good, he was progressing well. He won a few novice titles [he won the Dublin Novice championships at age 16] and boxed on plenty of shows to learn his trade but before he became a Junior he found another love and packed it in"
Not saying he will beat Maywether but he has some limited boxing experience. His movement will be key in the fight.
Haven't looked forward to a fight for years as much as this one. Couldn't care less if people think its for the money (which it is lol).

Maybe won't lose much power but boxing gloves are going to feel awkward and cumbersome on his hands in comparison with MMA gloves? Feel slower, Different weight, will also give him a different range, he will have to wear wraps under them, his fingers won't be individual like he's used to. All of which will feel strange to him.
Granted all very small differences but at the top of the tree it's very small margins that separate winner and loser, just another thing he will have to contend with that will be second nature to mayweather and he wont even be thinking about it.
He's worn boxing gloves before. He boxed as an amateur before moving into MMA. When he's boxing sparring in camp for his MMA fights he'll wear boxing gloves. It's not going to feel uncomfortable for him.
