because it's boxing, not UFC and Floyd will get standing 8 counts, etc (correct me if I'm wrong) so even if Connor gets a lucky shot, he'd have to actually knock Floyd out cold. I can understand a fluke shot, one hit wonder type thing, but the chances of that shot knocking Floyd out to where he can't continue would have to be ridiculously low. Conor repeatedly connecting with shots that send Floyd to the canvas, I can't see it.

Floyd isn't gonna be leaping in like MMA fighters, who have to maintain and close distance in different ways due to takedowns and leg kicks and shit.

Conor is going to have to bring some other unorthodox shit, and even then it better land, because once Floyd sees it that chance is gone. Nothing is impossible, but the odds are hella slim.

i based it on what i knew of both people and those things manifested SOMEWHAT for each fighter.

what i didn't count on was Conor not being able to build 12 round stamina in whatever amount of time he had to train.

that said, Conor proved himself to be a way better boxer than i initially gave him credit for.

gave Connor 4 rounds and walked him down like he was Cotto for fun. he was messing around out there and could've finished this earlier. your prediction was retarded, sorry

i wasn't heavily invested in the outcome.

i still honestly thought Conor was going to win if he did certain things.

problem was, Conor didn't do what i expected he could do to make that happen.

had he done those things would he have won? who knows.

he lost though. *Ye shrug*

regardless of the theatrics - it's a spectacle and something that's never been done before.

That said - I think the actual product will underwhelm considerably (assuming there are no fixed shenanigans).

Here is the conversation I've heard a few times so far "I can't remember the last actual boxing match I've seen..."

THIS?!?

This is like saying "I heard a rap song before...by Blondie, I think..."

Most people know this is a sideshow and are treating it as such.

fight party, drinks, food, betting pool, people chipping in a few bucks.

As long as it's not over in the first 6 rounds & has some action, I'm happy.

"though time has passed, im still the future" (c) black thought

a fix for mcgregor would be a big payout and justify the other losses around it. everyone from ticket brokers to whore houses is taking a beating on this so far, not sure about the actual money players involved though.

obviously sans funny business floyd wins this easily.

floyd was on kimmel talking about he's guaranteed $350 million - but likely is sycing.

He will walk away with $100+ mill though - Conor will make more in this fight than he has in all his previous fights combined. The PPV output could very well exceed May-Pac. Insane how much $ this is generating.

Because of that - I think there's a good possibility that there's controversy or theatrics to try and push for a rematch.

I'm calling conspiracy on this one.

I don't think Floyd fucks w/his 50-0 record. If it winds up being a no-contest, i'll jump on the 'spiracy bandwagon, but I think Floyd is happy to show up for some easy work and collect $250MM or more.

might flop though, so far this seems like something that is being seen through widely.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Been overhearing people talk like Connor has a chance in this fight for months. I'm thinking of watching this thing at UFC gym just to see the reactions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ8M1Z7CDTo

Conor about to use a karate stance against Floyd and get in a good shot. He needs to put his hands behind his back like did against Paulie.

I'm pulling for Floyd due to experience and this being Conor's first fight against an elite boxer. I expect shenanigans galore from Conor a lot of dirty shots, some rabid punching, and a few pushdowns.

Vex what are your predictions?

When that bell rings you can't tell me your heart won't be pounding

Fuck a sig, my presence is enough.

If nothing else I want to watch this fight because I want to see Floyd work. Its always a pleasure seeing how good FLoyd is. This is his last fight against an opponent with a different style. Im looking fwd to watching his brilliance show the world how GOAT he is, and how a true Pros vs Joes look. As strange as it sounds, sometimes its hard to see how great the greats are when theyre dominating good guys. Put them in against mortals and you really see how they are Gods in their realm. I get to see this when I watch my instructor Marcelo Garcia roll against lower belts like me.


Now in terms of promotion,
I know Floyd has Gervonta and Jack on the card, but when this was announced I thought it was a great opportunity --with some creative promotion for boxing to put some really exciting undercards/fights on the card.

Theres always the risk of putting another fight that could sell itself on this card and selling yourself short. But imagine ( i know its a different promotional team) but a fight like Canelo/GGG on an undercard. Im not saying this is the actual fight to put on here ---but what about if Ward/Kovalev 2 or 3 or Lomanchenko v Rigondeaux was on the card? Youd pretty much guarantee everyone who is boycotting today would want to buy the card--because you added real boxing legitimacy to it. Youve already jacked up the price to double on the PPV.
Again i realize the cross-promotional thing would always be an issue. But hell if I was an HBO/Golden Boy, Id buy some rights to get a good fight on this card instead of trying to hate on the card.

Boxing isnt dead, but it isnt growing anymore. This was a prime opp for boxing guys to not be shortsighted and greedy and say--maybe we can win some fans and grow the sport. On the UFC side, it wouldve also been interesting to put an exciting fight/fighters on the card (this is also hard because---its a ring and not an octagon). But for the fight fans who wouldve turned in who hate UFC and think its boring or not technical, this couldve been a nice opportunity to win some of those guys.

May not be by the actual boxing tho

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

hes never seen a Mayweather fight and start strutting and gloating about him "running"

by the second or third round Conor will just be grabbing Mayweather every chance he gets

I expect some shenanigans when they are disengaging from the perpetual hugging, probably resulting some controversy


overall, Mayweather by a UD snoozer

but conner looks like he's starting to really struggle.

i thought beginning of rd 9 was semblance of the 1st time ive ever seen floyd hurt

Then he was just like enough of this shit

"though time has passed, im still the future" (c) black thought

he put the actual game plan into effect


from that point on it wasnt close IMO

and he was like fuck this shit.

Connor just looked awkward as shit in there. Soft ass punches no head movement whatsoever. I mean he lasted until the 10th but he I dont think he looked good at all in there.

November 8th, 2005 The greatest night in the history of GD!

Boxing is a com0letely different animal from punching. Conor can punch but he had no chance in boxing.


Floyd would have less of a chance in the octogon

and went down to (I heard) -400 for him at fight time.

People are some fucking idiots

maybe the late money on floyd moved the line back from -400, i didnt watch that closely

the sucker's bet was +400 mcgregor KO, i bet a lot of people took that and vegas gladly took their guap
