Cabbit posted:So, like, is McGregor allowed to like takedown and punch the poo poo out of Floyd from a mount or whatever? I'm not a boxing or MMA guy but I would think taking a MMA guy and making him only box would be a serious disadvantage in most cases, and vice-versa for a boxer but moreso. No, and yes.

That Rumble in the Jungle vid above made me notice for the first time how marked up Foreman was getting even by the 5th or 6th.

Mr. Nice! posted: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. 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.

Bluedeanie posted:All of that is true and none of that tells us anything about how he will look in boxing rules. He's had enormous top-level success in sports that have significant overlap with his new sport. He's been preparing for this opportunity for three years at least. He's an elite athlete, and he has an elite athlete's drive and focus. On top of that he's significantly younger than his opponent, who in recent years hasn't been fighting the best competition anyway. All of this will easily balance out the 0-0 professional record and the experience disparity. But enough about Aaron Pico.

I didn't see the presser but CNN just showed a clip from it. In Taiwan.

threeagainstfour posted:If this is wolf tickets, good on whoever had this idea because it's way more interesting than the press tour. Wolf tickets are the best tickets. What odds is Ladbrokes giving on "Conor brings in a pro boxer for sparring and gets savagely KOd nine days before the fight with a broken orbital and the fight gets cancelled"?

Lomachenko should fight 6x per year and just chew through underprepared and overmatched challengers to give us a ridiculous highlight reel. "You are mandatory challenger for WBC? I want fight two months. Oh, you want six to train? I will book two more fight before, in Japan and in Ukraine. Is ok."

Rigel posted:People betting on Conor give no fucks about odds and now the sportsbooks are praying for a Mayweather victory. Kevin Iole article posted:Traditionally, we take about 90 percent of the money in the last 36 hours.” They probably paid it out as a publicity stunt knowing that it's a minor payout on 10% of the total money that will come down.
