I like that angle....McGreggor comes out bat ****, gets lost in adrenaline and does an illegal move. DQ. Fans go crazy, instant talk for rematch at post fight interview
It's already written in the contract that if McGregor does anything illegal or DQ's he loses a large portion of his purse if not all of it.
This is nothing more than a money ploy, McGregor is going to come out aggressive for the first 4 rounds then get tired because he doesn't have the stamina & endurance to keep up for 12 rounds.
Mayweather is going to run laps around the ring keeping McG tired, he's literally gonna run a marathon on him, then just jab his life away.
Death by a thousand paper cuts, another boring fight for Mayweather, another $300mill & retiring 50-0 against an amateur that has never even had a professional Boxing match in his entire life.
This. Anyone who has watched McG come up the ranks in MMA knows that he has a mediocre gas tank. He's over-hyped in MMA and he's way out of his depth here. McG is very hittable and I wouldn't be surprised if Mayweather lands enough clean counter shot right hands to wobble and finish McG in the later rounds.
The biggest disadvantage McG has, and I hinted on it in an earlier post, is that defense is not valued and scored in MMA the same as it is in boxing, so it's not practiced the same way. So many MMA guys have their hands way too far apart, they don't keep their feet under them to maintain a proper base--this kills balance as well as renders a proper punch **** near impossible, their foot work is horrible--often coming straight ahead and retreating straight back instead of creating angles to punch from without putting yourself in danger, and they lead with their **** face.
Give me a good boxer, a technically sound guy in his prime, and he'll make a fool of any MMA fighter in a remotely similar weight division. Let alone one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of gloves. Floyd is older, shorter, lighter, and has a shorter reach. And he is going to humiliate Connor.
