Floyd wins whenever and however he wants. I'd say watch his fight with Gatti on you tube and then imagine Gatti being way slower and less skilled.

Floyd will probably fight him the same way he fought Zab; high guard, straight rights to the head and body, emphasis on body work. I'm thinking a corner stoppage for Floyd around round 9 or so.
Yeah. I was thinking his approach would be some variation between how he fought Zab and Ortiz.

correct about everything
i don't know anything about boxing, or fisticuffs in general, so what is the significance of the whole 8oz gloves thing?
in general for boxing, i mean. even an ignoramus like me knows it won't change anything as far as this fight is concerned.

Can you pay to stream the fight if you don't have cable?

You answered your own question, it changes nothing. If anything it gives CM one less excuse when he gets his ass kicked.
I thought this moment from the first Embedded was interesting. McGregor previews how he's planning to work Floyd's high-guard stance.
Slightly increases the chance of a knockout.
There was an unscientific decision made to raise the glove oz limit above 147 because they believe it makes it safer for the fighters. I don't think it does but they should do some intensive research on the matter.

If he can convince Floyd to do his best Artem Lobov impersonation, he might land some shots that way.

The thing is Floyd isn't going to just be standing still in front of Conor letting him unload, let alone unanswered by Floyd himself.

That's what Conor is baiting, and then BAM - Jolt Counter
Also that gif is more about that nice car in the background than anything else.

This fight won't end well for Conor.
By doing a standard combo that's just tapping at his gloves before following with a body shot? I'm gonna wager that Mayweather has encountered that before...

At least my man Cotto is fighting that night too in case this is the sideshow we know it's going to be.

Floyd doesn't hold his gloves like that in high guard.

As soon as Conor tries to go to the midsection, Floyd is left hooking or left jabbing.

This is an amazing article about how Floyd fights southpaws.
Depends what you think a good ass fight is. You expecting a brawl and you're going to be extremely disappointed. Come in expecting what could be 12 rounds of boxing master class more about skill and strategy then you'll probably have a decent chance of that unless Conor totally drops the balls in the ring.

Great article! Didn't know about Miguel Diaz theory about lack of calcium being the reason for the brittle hands...intresting. The breakdown of the stances is great also. Especially for these casuals...lol

If I bet $20 on a Conor win... And somehow he wins, how much could I make
Is Paulie still commentating the fight???

Never been a fan of Mayweather though I can't dispute his talent but after watching the build up I just want McGregor to get schooled.
The fight is a farce anyway but McGregor looks so shit as a boxer, he slaps and moves far too so slow. Diaz fucked him up and that was some basic boxing and he isn't going to be able to hold.
Still more interested in it than most fights in a while though.

The undercard should be more interesting than the 'main event' not even a Mayweather fan but he wins inside 3.
What a dumbass.

T-Rex status.
Paulie's like "yo I got next"
What's wrong with this guy

He does have short arms but this is shopped.

Does he have short arms, or is his body just really big?
lol Do you even know what the fuck an MMA is?
Conor worked Nate's ass in the rematch.

if you consider Nate losing 48/47 48/47 and 47/47 as Nate getting his ass worked maybe someone should question if you know what the fuck mma is.

the gatti fight was so depressing.
gatti wouldv'e never challenged floid at any point in his career, but he was totally washed up leading up to their fight.

Floyd has fought with 8oz gloves in 46 of his 49 fights.
I would absolutely love to see them fight in the cage

This is from ESPN sports science. Given that one person usually weights 170 in his fights versus someone that is about 147 on average on fight night, this doesn't bode well for Conor at all. Floyd has been in the ring with people that hit much harder than this. This calls into question the chins of the people that Conor's been fighting. Just a few more days, can't wait.

I thought I was looking at an optical illusion...
