McGregor Vs Mayweather Official

[Blown 89]

That's an interview from ufc 118...Toney was calling out Chuck since around ufc 108... All i'm saying is why didn't Dana just give Toney the guy he initially called out. It seems like Dana didn't want to give him Chuck and was trying to jedi mind trick him into fighting someone else by throwing other names out there in order for him to forget about Chuck. Toney is a great boxer but not the brightest bulb.

Here's that same quote from before UFC 108. Sorry dude, he called out the entire ufc roster. Boxing fans like to claim it was just Chuck but that wasn't the entire truth.

That fight also took place at heavyweight. Liddell isn't a heavyweight.

Just last week a UFC ref stopped a fight where the guy didn't even tap.

There isn't any controversy to that IMO. His hands fell limp and he stopped defending the choke for a moment. He was out and he would have continued to be if the ref didn't stop it. Blood chokes suck in that sometimes you bounce right back after the arteries start pumping again with no recollection of the event. I've had opponents lose consciousness and argue it when I could have drawn a dick on their forehead and exchanged phone numbers with their mothers while they were out. He lost that fight plain and simple. The only thing the ref did wrong was not let it go on longer so everyone else understood that but then again, when that happens mma fans coming that he didn't stop it in time.

I completely agree with the fact that he was done after Lee sunk in that choke BUT did you the uproar it created? Even Dana said it was BS. This isn't the first time a ref stopped a fight without a fighter tapping. I can't remember the names but i remember a ref stopping a fight after he thought one of the guys went out from a choke. The guy thought the ref was standing them up but the ref waved his hands signaling the fight was over. I pretty sure it was a UFC card held in Brazil...

Dana white says a lot of stupid things. Mistakes happen and that call wasnt one. The rules state that you need to defend yourself at all times... Dropping your hands limp like you're unconscious isn't defending yourself. That was the right call..quick but it was the right call.

This thread is dying.. Fight is a week from this Saturday.

This guy is pretty catchy.

 

[gimmie11s]

i cant friggin wait. I'll be in Vegas.

Going to be a massive shit show for sure!

 

[tones_RS3]

I'm not really following any of this and I don't really care whom wins, but I think Mayweather is going to knock him out.
I say this because it's a boxing match, not a free for all, like a MMA event. Just my opinion.

Can someone tell me if a spinning backfist is legal? If it is/isn't...

What I picture is, Connor always starts his fights with some kind of gimmick. I picture him, in the first seconds, crawling around on the ground, or something distracting, then out of nowhere, just clocks Floyd with a spinning back fist or a, never-before-seen by Floyd, martial art punch (hammerfist) that would never be thrown in a more "traditional" boxing fight. I mean, CM could roll out in three somersaults, spring up, spin in the air, connect with a spinning back fist. Would that be illegal? Is there anything illegal about acting like a clown and running around the ring? That's kind of what I'm expecting.

Another tactic, fighting dirty, especially on the ropes, or in the corners. CM could just bum rush FM, push him into the corner, and just go nuts. Can you push in boxing? Can you just "stand your ground", and physically block someone from leaving the corner?

Less extremely, I see Connor stepping on FM's toes, maybe some unseen subtle elbows to the ribcage/nose, when the ref isn't looking, grabbing a wrist/slash blocking FM's lead LH, and hitting with his free hand. CM will push the limits of the rules, and use techniques that have never been seen before, in a traditional boxing match. and in a controversial, but legal, way and win.

Don't forget it's a 29 year old vs. a retired 40 year old. It's also not going 12 rounds.

It could be over in 10s. I don't think CM will bite Floyd's ear off though...CM FTW by first round KO!

 

[gimmie11s]

Totally agree. He is going to outweigh Floyd by 15 pounds tonight.

Connor is absolutely not afraid to get punched by this guy as opposed to every single boxer Floyd has fought up to this point in his career.

I think we are in for a heck of a show.

lol, this isn't Apollo vs Drago. I do agree that CM will resort to drastic measures to keep Floyd on his feet but unless he gets him quickly and early, Floyd will adapt. The only winners tonight are the boxers, whoever is hosting the event , and Vegas anyway.

I don't like either fighter but would rather see CM take the win but has everyone forgotten that Diaz out boxed CM

Diaz had his moments for sure. The punch that hurt CM in their first fight was the jab-straight by Diaz; guess what punch Floyd likes to throw, and well, the jab-straight and the hook-straight.

He also has a damn good check left hook that is going to surprise CM.

 

[gimmie11s]

^^ great point except Nate is 6 foot tall and walks around at 175-180 lbs. I cant imagine a straight jab from Floyd will stun Connor.

I honestly don't think anything FM has is going to hurt or stun CM. Could be wrong but this just seems like the youth, power, accuracy, and weight advantage are too much in CM's favor.

We shall see!

Hopefully it is a good fight.

We will see for sure. I think CM as well, as many people, are going to be surprised by Floyd's power. I'm not saying he has big power, but I've heard people talk about Floyd like he has pillow fists... he will surprise CM when he starts tagging him at will and those "soft" punches and starts to do damage.

I'm off to a bar to watch the fight. We'll meet here to discuss the results manana haha

For a second I thought the GIF in your sig was part of your post lol. It's so fitting as a response to what you posted.

 

[MG0h3]

Pretty predictable in my opinion. Mayweather is a shell of his former self, but McGregor was tough and wouldn't be denied. Fatigue took over and Mayweather gained control. It almost seemed scripted so both fighters could save face.

 

[IllCobra]

I think Floyd has a very good chance of TKO'ing Conner. Someone in Conner's corner will throw in the towel or the ref will step in and stop the one-sided beat down ( can someone say Floyd-Gatti).

I'm more excited for GGG-Canelo in September. I'll watch the Conner-Floyd fight at a sports bar.

Dammit, before the fight started i had a feeling May was going to tko him the 10th too lol if i knew my password by heart i would have signed in on my phone and posted it
CM did do better than i expected. But you don't get to Floyd's level and not have respectable power. And the much bigger Conor found that out the hard way.
