I'm curious for your opinions. Only a few days left until the big fight, who you got?

Conor gets a KO in the first round - Floyd isn't taking this fight seriously at all!

It won't be a fight at all. Floyd is going to embarrass McGregor.

The real boxing fight to look forward to is the Triple G / Alvarez fight.

You're one of those few who always believe when Floyd says "my opponent cannot be underestimated. I am no longer as good as before. He could beat me."

He's selling the fight obviously, so is showing that he does these extra activities just to make people believe that he's not taking this seriously that he will be defeated, so you would watch the fight and expect him to be beaten.

I've been a loyal mma fan since UFC 1 so I'm rooting for Conor but I have Floyd by decision. Conor's only chance is to knock him out early but chances are he'll get schooled and will be lucky to win 1 round. That straight left of Conor's though, I think he might be able to get a couple through.

I don't give Conor much of a chance but I think it will actually be a fairly entertaining fight. I think MW wants to mix it up more than usual and not let it go the distance.

Agree on this. Mayweather himself said that its a lose for boxing when this fight goes the distance.

These two athletes don't even compete in the same sport, but I will watch for the circus. Mayweather wins easily as Conor would in his sport. He'll get it via lopsided decision or body shot.

It must be nice being Floyd mayweather. Dude can't read, so he's Twitter proof.

As a boxing fan I think it's a joke, Floyd should win by knockout but I can see him also toying with him for 12 rounds ultimately I don't care

Brain says:

Fight starts with Conor charging at Floyd
Conor looks surprisingly good for 3-5 rounds.. catches Mayweather once or twice. Max Kellerman is wrong. They more or less split those rounds.
Round 5-9 Floyd starts showing up as the tactician he is with a lot of **** talk. Rounds 10-11 get very testy and ref has to keep pulling them a part.
Round 12 is a lot of Conor swing for the fences, fans are hyped.

Floyd wins by decision. You guys can quote me on that.


Heart wants:

Conor embarrasses Floyd in the 5 round via knockout.

Seriously? Floyd Mayweather is a piece of **** who has been charged numerous times for assaulting women.

Conor McGregor is a bit of a show pony and certainly arrogant, but he has never been convicted of any serious charges.

I wouldn't even call McGregor arrogant to be honest. When he lost to Diaz, he lost with class. He wasn't a sore loser at all.

He talks a ton of trash, but that's part of the game. It doesn't make him arrogant. He knows he's great and he lets his opponents know. Nothing wrong with that.

Exactly. Even when he knocked out Jose Aldo in 9 seconds he was a gracious winner. But the Diaz loss is what I loved the most. He gave credit where credit was due and suffering immense disappointment he presented himself for the post fight conference. Purely a huge mouth before the fight but a terrific winner and loser.

If it's not fixed and Floyd does not want to sell a rematch, it should be an easy TKO under 8 rounds. But, this is boxing. So you can never know.

I've got Connor by KO/TKO. It seems obvious Floyd does not respect Connor's ability in the RING, and will try hard to go for the KO, which can leave him exposed for Connor to get his own big shots in. I also think Floyd no longer has the hands for a KO, but his pride will force him to go for it anyway. And with the slightly lighter than usual gloves, that has to help Connor's chances. I realiseFloyd has also fought his fair share with the 8oz gloves, so not really a DISAVANTAGE to him, but still helps Connor's chances. Also I'm just barracking for Connor, as I respect him more as a person.
