Anyone seen the footage of Conor McGregor sparring?

[Pray_4_War]

I'd love to see him KO Floyd Mayweather but it doesn't look possible.  Everyone knows Floyd would get merked in an MMA fight but McGregor doesn't look like he has any business in a boxing ring.  Am I wrong?

McGregor is obviously going to take him into the later rounds, where he dominates.

mcgregor is learning to dodge the punches and guard up.

I wish that was true but I just don't see it.

The only wildcard is if Floyd comes in and is just washed.  Just an old man that has totally lost his skill and desire.  I don't see it.

I pray that's true.  I want to see him go in there and fucking conquer Floyd.

To me he looks slow and sloppy.  Not a difficult target to hit at all.

[oldschoolfan]

no way in hell he will even be remotely  able  to win this fight  floyd will ko him and make him look silly


p.s i fucking hate floyd, but now way a mma fighter is going to box with a elite boxer under boxing rules.

you could see the other guy piss taking, if the other guy was up against a pro boxer he could be a lot more cautious. probably conor needs to speed up his fast twitch muscle fibres and tendons for the impact of hitting.

Most one sided fight in history taking advantage of people's gullibility and lack of boxing knowledge so two athletes obsessed with making money can con the public and make even more money. I love boxing, it's by far my favorite sport but I will not watch it on principle.

I don't blame Conor, the UFC is a fucking rip off.  They pay their fighters shit.

Unless Mayweather takes a dive Conor won't land a single punch. He's not even good enough to win a European title in any weight class as a boxer let alone beat one of the best fighters of all time!

I don't blame Conor, the UFC is a fucking rip off.  They pay their fighters shit.

Yeah, I agree but lets not pretend it's a competitive fight and is about anything other than them making money. If it was an actual fight with different rules I'd be slightly interested but straight boxing, no chance!

Yes

I think most sane people already know that Floyd wins a boxing match decisively and Conor dominates in an MMA match.  some people will pay anyway just for the star power.

This fight is just taking money from suckers.

I'd so love to see Floyd get choked unconscious but he's too smart to let that happen.  He wouldn't go within 500 years of the octagon.

[Skeletor]

Would using MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves be a significant disadvantage to Mayweather?

[epic2]

you answered your own question,  by the way no fight between them will ever take place.  if you believe it will then i guess pro  wratslin is still real to you also

[oldschoolfan]

i dont think so his punching skill is way ahead of  mcgregors,  probably would be even worst

[Nick Danger]

...And after the fight, The Golden State Warriors are going to play the New England Patriots.

[Europe]

Lomachenko toying/light sparring with TJ Dillashaw who is considered one of the best standup in UFC..

starts at 0.44min

[BB]

Any journeyman level boxer would beat the balls off McGregor. Judging from those sparring sessions, there are even legit tomato cans that would look like Sugar Ray Leonard against him.

Id laugh my ass off if McNugget sucker punches and knoxks out PrettyBoy Featherglover whilenhes complaining about a headbutt

[oldschoolfan]

the only way this fight would be remotely competetive is if they allowed leg kicks and elbow strikes and even then i am not sure if mcanal would win.    hes going to get schooled so bad boxing , it will damage mma's brand

[Master Blaster]

What if he swings some wild haymakers and gets a lucky shot? 

[tres_taco_combo]

tmt all the way

This. I can't believe people are disrespecting the sweet sport of boxing and think that the greatest counterpuncher of all time would lose to McGregor. Straight up disrespect toward Floyd and boxing.

[HockeyFightFan]

I'm no boxing expert, but people who know the sport say Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the best defensive boxer of all time.
