Title: Boxing v MMA Post by: Wobbly Bob on Saturday, August 26, 2017, 19:46:46 Ok, so who is bothering with this tonight.
It's 20 quid down the pan for me for what will probably be a massive anti climax as Mayweather takes it on points, and more importantly for him becomes $100 million better off. McGregor fascinates me. Probably uses more words in a day than I do in a year. Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: Batch on Saturday, August 26, 2017, 20:11:00 can't take it seriously. no interest whatsoever
Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: Red Frog on Saturday, August 26, 2017, 20:34:33 McGregor fascinates me. Probably uses more words in a day than I do in a year. Don't beat yourself up. Most of his are repetition. Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: Super Hans on Saturday, August 26, 2017, 21:06:07 Expect McGregor to come out firing but landing little to nothing on Mayweather before being stopped in rounds 4-8 once he slows and Mayweather does what he's always done and works him out.
Part of me wants to believe it could be a competitive fight but realistically its unlikely to happen. Look at the elite level boxers Mayweather has beaten. Only a handful have ever had him in a bit of bother and he's only been knocked down once, 16 years ago. McGregor has the power to knock him out but I don't see him having the skills to get anywhere near achieving it unless he manages to rush out and catch Floyd off guard at the start of a round. Yet there is still intrigue for me, mainly because McGregor isn't your average bloke and he makes you believe he actually has a shot. Won't be buying it but may set an alarm because I've been drawn in by the hype.

Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: Quagmire on Saturday, August 26, 2017, 21:48:54 The best defensive boxer of all time against a mixed martial artist. McGregor will do well to even land a clean shot.
Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: 4D on Saturday, August 26, 2017, 22:08:17 Mma rules and Mcgregor should win. Perhaps they should have two fights to be fair.

Edit: Just seen that the fight isn't until around 4am, so I'll give the live action a miss. Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: Nemo on Sunday, August 27, 2017, 03:26:28 4am? If it starts before 5:30 I'll be surprised. Especially with Davis dicking around rather than trying to finish his fight early.
Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: RobertT on Sunday, August 27, 2017, 04:52:34 Boxing person beats non boxing person in boxing match shocker.
Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: herthab on Sunday, August 27, 2017, 05:35:49 Was a non match. People who paid to watch it must have more money than sense! Mayweather cruised through the fight and was never really in any danger.
McGregor won't give a fuck though, how many millions did he get? Title: Re: Boxing v MMA Post by: mystical_goat on Sunday, August 27, 2017, 21:38:38 McGregor won't give a fuck though, how many millions did he get? Guaranteed $30m, ten times his largest grossing UFC fight. Estimated to be up to around $75m when all the sponsorship and ticketing trickles in. |
