It took me a lot of watching around and talking to boxers/martial artists to get some ideas on how he could even pull this off. Straight up, it's not easy to predict. My short version; fight long and try to get Floyd to do the leaping hook he likes to throw so that Conor can time a straight left (ie: Zab Judah vs Floyd first five rounds)...Left straight feint to a lead uppercut between Floyd's shell (not the most reliable method I admit but Conor's lead uppercut is slick)...Hard pivots out of corner situations to try and catch an awkward angle punch while Mayweather sits on counters (this is me trying to find something Floyd hasn't seen from typical boxers).

The amount it's being talked about and the fact that the press conferences are packing arenas makes me think this really could overtake Pacman vs PBF as the biggest selling fight ever.

Edit: Random side note, but outside of Conor last night, these dudes have been rocking massive heels to try and look taller at these things. Mind games and perception ploys are going on for days. Yall are watching the best two players of the mental aspect of combat sports go head to head.

I'm literally saying the opposite fam. He crossed the line and people should totally hold it against him. I've held a grudge with a fighter over his disrespect of my personal heritage and have no problem admitting that even though I realize it was marketing, it didn't make it okay.

Not once has Conor been hit harder than Floyd can and will hit him. MMA fighters don't throw sharp punches and their aim is way worse. That's why its way more common to see someone knocked loopy off one punch in boxing matches than MMA fights.


i am also doubting this statement. mma fighters just dont get an 8 second breake to gather themselves, thats why you dont see it

Floyd has precision and accuracy but no power to do damage. Like I said, he scores points that way but he doesn't hurt his opponents. He's not going to hurt Conor, no matter how many clean strikes he lands.

This is accurate for like 95% of fighters (maybe more). There are a few crisp strikers but it's rare. Cody Garbrandt is who I point boxing fans to because most MMA striking looks so damned sloppy compared to Muay Thai, Boxing and Kick Boxing. I don't think Floyd hits for power often because of his old hand injuries though, he can probably still pop but rarely does.

He might be able to catch him with a jab walking back when Floyd attempts to go for his body shot. Conor has a powerful straight jab even when his body is moving backwards so he could land a clean one there

I see how you coulda gotten that. I wanted to mention that angle specifically because a lot of fight fans use that to give a pass. Before the monkeys one, I was pretty dismissive myself but that comment was indefensible and pretty eye opening. Just disgraceful and embarrassing for me as an MMA fan watching someone represent the sport to a larger audience.

Good call! I'm probably gonna add that to my breakdown because that's an opening I didn't really consider. Definitely a "how did I miss that" post.

Stop all this sensitivity. Mayweather has a history of beating women and saying plenty of racist comments.

Where is the outrage?

Floyd is deadly accurate and a world class counter puncher. It's why he doesn't really need to load up power on his shots. And why he likes fighting aggressive stalkers. It doesn't take a whole lot of force to ring a guys bell when it's on the button and they're coming forward. A lot of people have said after fighting Floyd that he hits harder than you think.

To me the most interesting thing in this fight is going to be seeing if Connor can restrain himself from his instincts. Kicks. Elbows. Knees. Foot stomps. Etc. Especially during intense flurries in close. I imagine he'll become frustrated, tired, hurt, at some point. And that's usually when you're surviving on pure instinct. To me it's incredibly difficult to temporarily unlearn things you've trained for your entire life. Especially if you find yourself in a situation where those things are necessary for survival and you're not really in your right mind for a moment.

I've seen pro boxers resort to illegal tactics in desperate situations and almost immediately after be surprised by their own actions. Even in UFC we've seen guys go after refs when hurt just off pure instinct. So I believe that this is going to be much more difficult for Connor than people are expecting.

That's why my wild card outcome is disqualification. Especially for such a gimmicky fight like this. Really reminds me of the tail end of Tysons career. Where it was more about seeing if Tyson would do something crazy. Like try to break a guys arm or bite him. Again.

When boxers get rattled they don't get a break to gather themselves what are you talking about? Usually they get pressed and are out of the rest of the round unless they can land a nice counter. In the MMA the punches don't hit as sharp, the form isn't as good, the aim isn't as precise, and we see people dazed way less often as a result. I mean they can't even throw jabs.

Floyd has more than enough power to take down someone that's never been hit by a pro boxer. Floyd might hold back a lot but we saw vs Ortiz he can knock out a defenseless fighter pretty easily and Donor will be defenseless and he doesn't have the jaw Ortiz has (if he did he would box instead of making chump change in the UFC).

Garbrant is one of the few guys ringing bells in the UFC. But I don't think Floyd needs to even get him with a bunch of power shots. He'll get him with enough potshots that by the 6th round when Conor is winded and beat even a regular punch would take him out.

You already know Floyd is going to try to bait him into something like that. Whether it be pulling his head down, forearm strikes to the face, arm locking, etc. All those little tricks Floyd does to piss off his opponents. He could cause Conor to lose his cool and get DQ'd wouldn't be shocked by it

Let's just dismiss every racist statement Floyd has said because it's the past!

I'm having trouble with your logic here.

Look at what he said about Manny Pacquiao : "I'm on vacation for about a year, about a year," Mayweather said. "As soon as we come off vacation, we're going to cook that little yellow chump. We ain't worried about that. So they ain't gotta worry about me fighting the midget. Once I kick the midget ass, I don't want you all to jump on my d---. So you all better get on the bandwagon now. ... Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that mother f----- make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."

How about the racist comments he said towards or beloved Jeremy Lin? :"Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise," Mayweather wrote on his Twitter account on Monday afternoon.

You don't have the moral ground here, you can't attack Conor for being racist when Floyd has said many racist statements in the past. Deal with it.

Watching live, it felt like that's all that matters to these cats. They're selling the fight, running on fumes and doing whatever they can to pump up the spectacle. I'm embracing the hell out of it, the boxers I know are too. The only rule for admission should be "know what you're getting into." You're watching a power puncher chase Floyd and try to land a big one which is not unlike a ton of other Floyd fights and will almost guaranteed be more entertaining than the god awful Canelo/Chavez Jr fight. The presser yesterday was terrible, bad audio, celebrities stalling for time and the fighters were out of gas; but the fans were incredible and the energy in the building was FUN.


You were there! I heard that there was a two hour wait. Yikes.

I've been trying to do my research and watch a bunch of videos on youtube from fighters and analysts on both sides. Given that both fighters are counterpunchers, how much do you think that'll affect the fight? Also, I thought it was interesting that Conor said he would come at Floyd from many different martial arts stances. That could make things interesting.

Such a silly fight. My stepson wanted to waste money on this and I advised against it. Unless Mayweather is really careless McGregor has no shot in this. Mayweather is never careless in the ring though. Say what you want about Mayweather outside the ring the dude handles his business training wise and in the ring.
