if Conor doesn't TKO/KO Mayweather by Round 3, he loses. I'm completely uncultured to boxing but I've seen Mayweather fights and that dude just floats. Conor can't touch that.

I wanna see Conor win and become the world's greatest draw, just to run the UFC into bankruptcy by upping his asking price to insane levels.

Has Floyd ever let anyone get under his skin in the ring? All the comments here indicate he's exceedingly disciplined.

except when it comes to women, yeah he's an icon of self reservation.

Some guy at work is convinced McG will win. I could probably get him to bet on it, but he's kind of dumb so idk if its ethical.

if he's dumb and rich: totally ethical, encouraged.
if he's dumb and poor: completely unethical, don't do it.

Who was the celebrity boxer that faked a heart attack and then sucker punched a win by TKO? Conor should watch that and learn something.

McGregor's KO strength has been in his opponent's headmovements. He'll put his fist path right on a dead on intercept course.

I expect Mayweather to wear McGregor out with feinting head movements. Should take around 3-4 rounds based on the Diaz fights(apples and oranges I know but in terms of gastank expenditures roughly equivalent).

Also, based on the Diaz fights, McGregor has a very limited response for when a fight plan collapses. The first fight after the left uppercut failed to finish, he got lost and became reactive. Being reactive to a Diaz is pretty much the end. Being reactive to Mayweather will pretty much lead it going to the judges. If Conor's got the gilded luck of the irish applied properly, he might win. But he's fighting against the promoter and the state that benefits financially from said promoter so yeah.

Mayweather always bounces around and avoids getting into trouble, so Conor is probably going to just mock him for not standing and banging as Mayweather wins a long boring decision and then hopefully fucks off forever. If mcgregor does a lot of the type of thing in that picture, at least he's got a narrative when he inevitably loses. That little fookin bitch was runnin scared.

Yeah if this is a complete work(and its shaping up to be), Conor loses this one, takes the rubber match and the freakshow mma fight goes to a draw when they provoke a riot.

the way I see it:

10% Conor Wins by ref stoppage
10% Mayweather wins by ref stoppage
40% Conor by Decision
40% Mayweather by decision

but hey, Mayweather's promotion is running the show so they get a little edge in the reffing

5% Conor by stoppage
15% Mayweather by stoppage
40% Conor by decision
40% Mayweather by decision

oh wait, Mayweather bought off the judges because its boxing and this poo poo works more than dollar day hooker
5% Conor by stoppage
15% Mayweather by stoppage
20% Conor by decision
60% Mayweather by decision

even worse, Mayweather's not normal in that ring. he moves hella fast and is hard to lock down
5% Conor by stoppage
20% Mayweather by stoppage
10% Conor by decision
65% Mayweather by decision
