So guys..smart to bet on Mayweather winning within the first 6 rounds?
Also, is Unibet a safe place to bet?

All 12 I think, floyd will only go for the ko if the opportunity is there. Kind of like ricky hatton.
Damn I wanna punch this kid.

To be honest, I'm expecting millennials to ruin yet another thing.
Hmm... Interesting.
Nearly 8 years ago.

My prediction has been Floyd TKO Rd 8 but I'm starting to wonder if this goes all 12
This is what I'm thinking. I just have no idea how McG will fight so it's hard to predict
I can see that is McG is a bit too aggressive and tries to play his own style rather than match Floyd. Don't know much about McG but the dude seems wild and crazy.

I like McG but I don't see him going 12. Will be too exhausted to stop being KO'd.
Pretty much the only way he can win this fight at all.

It's been said a bunch but the main thing Floyd needs to watch out for is that straight left. Was just watching some more videos on it and Conor does have insane timing / accuracy with that punch
Recipe for disaster against Floyd.
True, but he won't outbox him either, so what should he try then?

He wasn't alone.
I rolled all the twenty sided dice and the results are McG win by ko in rounds 4≥6.
He should go out there, get clowned, and collect his $100m.

Conor is a counter puncher. He paces and times his shots. Nothing about him is wild or crazy.

This seems like some sort of monetary prayer, but I like it.

And speed. I remember Eddie saying he (literally) didn't know what hit him for the first knockdown in their fight. He thought it might have been a kick.
Ah interesting. Isn't that similar to Floyd?
Apparently the odds for over 8.5 rounds is at 160..I think I'm going to have to jump in

will it go to points or will Floyd knock him out? its not like floyd knocks people out a lot since he's a boring cunt.

Boring to those who know nothing about boxing, the sport is not rocky.

Exactly!
Conor has picked the right opponent because Floyd has become a master point fighter. Canelo or GGG may have hurt him pretty badly. Floyd is not going to.

but conor has irish spirit
I always like the "defensive boxing = boring" meme.
Are you telling me that real life boxers try not to let their opponents land a bunch of haymakers to the face?

Going by his MMA fights and training stuff it looks like he will fight similar to a swarmer as he has a good chin and appears to slap a lot which is suited to that, however he ain't no Calzaghe so will likely come in for short bursts hoping he can unbalance Mayweather and be out sticking around the edges. He can't box like he does at distance in the MMA as it requires no guard and never holds his hands high for sustained periods either, he wont have mastered multiple guards to play a counter puncher so can't allow Mayweather to walk him down (though I don't think Mayweather would do that anyway as it would be very unusual). His neo-footwork isn't going to bring much to the boxing game as its nothing new and only the best who are very good out-boxer have been successful with it and McGregor is no out-boxer.

Bet 5 bitcoins on Conor by knockout. So much cocaine if I win. 🕶
The compelling thing about him in this fight is the same thing that's made him compelling in every fight. He has a proprietary unorthodoxy. He has a quality that is hard to account for.

Ordered on Sky Box Office on NowTV, but boy do I wish I was watching with Mauro Ranallo's commentary. :'(
You got money to burn I guess.
What do you mean by 160 ?
Most bookies I'm seeing are offering around 10/11 for the fight to go over 8 rounds

Floyd will bet his entire net worth a minute before the fight on him to lose
Floyd wins infinite money at the odds

McGregor should keep Floyd in the corners and on the ropes as much as possible using his size and cutting off his escapes and punish his body as hard and as quick as possible. Floyd thrives on being able to move around and stay out of situations he can't control. Trying to stop Floyd's movement and containing him should be Conor's priority. Standing toe to toe in the center of the ring fighting Floyd's fight at Floyd's rhythm means it's over before it's started.
Conor isn't going to out box or out move Floyd so he needs to level the playing field. He should be trying to chop Floyd down from the mid section instead of head hunting right off the bat. Hurt his guts over and over so bad that he starts to slow down and get sore then start trying to clean his clock.

Jesus guys, Diaz touched him up with his basic boxing.
I don't know that Conor could beat Nate in a 12 round boxing match. Conor won't have anything for Mayweather.
