I saw Ice Cube the other day on TV promoting his new 3v3 basketball league, so I'm pretty sure that he's not going to allow the fight to happen.

Man I think I've really been underestimating the chance of Floyd losing by DQ

Skip My Posts posted:i read somewhere floyd was worried conor would do something crazy and get disqualified so they wrote something into the contract that severely punishes him if that happens Speaking of *crazy* things Conor may or may not do, my hot take is that I'm honestly kinda surprised that we've managed to almost make it through June without Conor saying anything racist yet. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I'm wondering if they have some agreement on how the fight can be promoted/a timeline of when they're releasing statements, etc. etc., because back when Conor was prepping for UFC fights it usually like he was belligerently calling out his opponent every time he had a microphone in his face and I'm not really getting those vibes in the leadup of this fight so far.

Wouldn't surprise me, Conor has been in MMA for a long time and muscle memory is a thing. Training is one thing, but when he is in the ring he might fall back on old habits without thinking about it.

I dont think it will be an issue. He nearly attacked and likely would have killed "big" john mccarthy using only muscle memory but luckily he was able to restrain himself at the last moment.

I dont know if you heard player but this is a 3v3 basketball town... Guess I could talk to some people... ease their minds. Make sure your little boxing match happens. For a price...

Being racist against a black american isn't something mcgregor would be stupid enough to do. Everybody in Dublin is hilariously racist against Brazillians though.

How does a pull counter like that work against a south paw? Seems like it would be harder to pull off since the other fighter should have their left hand in the way. edit: nm saw some examples in this video of him vs southpaws JaySB posted:You mean this whole video?

I've been finding that the estimated chance of success that I give to Conor is directly proportional to the amount of time since I last watched any Mayweather footage. He literally has no chance. He'd have no chance against anyone who Mayweather clowns in any of those vids.

It's Ricky hatton, both for his style and trappings, that makes me feel like we've already seen a technically better version of this fight. Watch out for those check hooks conner...

How much can you get away with feints that would be illegal strikes if they landed? Like faking a teep or knee.

freud mayweather posted:no one has any idea what conor boxes like outside of "poorly." The guy who has spent his entire MMA career punishing dudes from the outside with his long left hand and looking for counter opportunities probably isn't going to turn into a mauler like Hatton who spend most of his career trying to get right on top of the guys he fought. Ricky Hatton has shorter arms than Frankie Edgar.

Ricky Hatton has shorter arms than Frankie Edgar. In the ring with Mayweather, Conor will be extremely tentative as soon as Floyd lands a counter. Floyd will be able to land at will after that. He won't fight like a boxer mostly because he won't be able to generate offense that Floyd needs to care about.
