Mcgregor needs to talk about the beat woman failed relationships bad father thing lolol

ya i said that earlier. I don't want to see Conor do that, that's some horrible shit.. but, if he did, the woman-beating angle could end up getting under Floyd's skin. Don't think there's anything Conor could say, other than that, to get Mayweather to lose his composure out of the ring. Don't think there's anything he could say to get Floyd to lose his composure inside the ring.

Yeah I hope he doesn't go that route either. I don't see him doing it though. He has the crowd right now and they'd turn on him.

I don't think he'll do it either.. he knows that's just going too low.

But......... the crowd wouldn't turn on him :/ IMHO there's some Trump effect going on here.. Some of the very same reasons people hate Mayweather Jr, they love about Conor :/

Conor is a disrespectful punk most of the time. He's said some really foul shit to most of his opponents. People who hate those qualities in other fighters, love that with him.

I mean, dude, he knocked Floyd's ability to read.. and everyone loved it. That's disgusting... I understand it's for show, but how do you cheer that, as a fan? I mean when you really think about it, that's so disgusting. He clearly had a wrecked upbringing and dedicated his life to boxing. I mean his mom was a crack addict and his dad was a pro boxer, drug dealer, violence, beat Floyd Jr, everything. He didn't grow up "easy".

good read.

It's funny how all this world tour is pure entertainment just to lure more viewers to buy the fight even though the chance's remain the same for connor to win at 1%, which is the punchers chance.

I enjoyed watching it but my opinion is the same that mcgregor has no chance. he has 0 boxing iq and mma movement and boxing movement is different, he will find it hard to get around the ring that floyd will be the one chasing while mcgregor on the backfoot but will fail and get beat up badly.

yup.

we'll find out aug 26 tho. can't wait to not order it but find out the result! LMAO!

In the astronomically unlikely chance that Floyd loses or gets KO'd, i'll GLADLY rejoice with all of the people who want/think Conor to win.. In the likely chance that Conor gets TKO'd or the towel is thrown in late in the fight, i'll just laugh.

If Conor truly brings it, i'll get back to being a fan of his. His luster faded, for me, when he got owned by Nate in the first fight. Floyd keeps talking about Conor quitting with the tap, but he started quitting on himself before that, when he got caught with some good shots by Nate. So took him from "next level" to "above ordinary who is a master weight cutter" for me.

In terms of stimulants, im going to switch to nicotine patches or lozenges from ecigarrette vaporizers. Ecigs are destroys lungs, similar to real smoke.

I don't think ECIGS are anywhere near as bad as real smoke, but not of it is optimal. Are you gonna try get off the nicotine completely one day?

Yes indeed.

good luck man

Brilliant explanation adarqui about the boxing gloves with the 4 oz. v 10 oz. scenario.

hah thanks! the analogy felt good at the time & still does.

This is the reason why I love this forum so much!

haha awesome. <3

The UFC is a marketing machine and they do an excellent job at hyping their fighters. Remember a couple of years ago when they were talking up Ronda Rousey and saying she'd beat up male fighters and kick Mayweather's ass haha. I've said this on facebook when people have been saying Conor has a chance but in reality it'll be 12 rounds of Mayweather running circles around Conor and making him look stupid. I'd even go as far as to say that there's more chance Conor will get DQ'd than actually winning this fight or knocking  out Mayweather.

yea I remember the Rousey talk.. I guess we are fortunate that we have Conor vs Floyd rather than Rousey vs Floyd 

They are using straight up Wrestlemania tactics to promote this fight & get people to buy into the idea that Floyd is in for the fight of his life.

49-0 against boxers who have spent decades training and perfecting their art and being the best of the best. This is just his swan song for going to 50-0 and having a final payout. Understandably in the boxing fraternity people are understandably angry that Conor has even been given this opportunity as everyone else has had to earn their way to the top and earn their way to fight Mayweather. Conor has just come in and it's a circus. Talk is cheap.

yup. and on the topic of talk:

It's very hard for anyone to try and stay atop the world while talking massive amounts of shit. Everyone who tries to mimic Floyd for example, eventually gets wrecked. He's basically created the blueprint on how to make more $$ by playing the villain. It seems easy to talk yourself up so much that now you are feeling more pressure than you normally would have. When talkers lose, they are never the same. Rousey is probably the best recent example - she talked herself into a grave. Conor when he took on Nate, Sonnen when he had Silva beat but then gave it away & was never the same, Aldo when he tried to match Conor's trash & stepped out of his game rushing in like Pacquiao vs Marquez and getting KO'd in 5 seconds, Broner when he was dominating lesser fighters and then gets humped by Maidana & completely embarrassed, Roy Jones Jr when Tarver KO'd him, James Toney getting dropped by Roy.

IMHO, it seems tough to be a talker.. It's extra added pressure, and when you lose, everyone is laughing.

Floyd is unique in that respect.. Talks bigger & more shit than most anyone (except maybe Conor), and doesn't have a 0 in his L column.. He knows people are just fiending for him to catch an L, every fight he's in. With him though, he always seems to stay within his true limits.. He doesn't talk "extra shit" and step out of his game plan. I think that's where everyone else I listed, fails. As Coges said, "get under the skin". With Floyd, it seems that when it comes time for the fight, he knows how to separate "what he wants" from "what he needs to do". He doesn't let his emotions get the best of him, practically never.

Again a great example is Rousey & her camp/coach talking so much shit, talking herself up to be a striker, when she isn't. She should have just been diving for legs trying to get people down and armbar them. Instead, she talked herself into game plans that she could never win. If talking shit makes you delusional, then it becomes a weapon against you.

Notice how Floyd said, "first round will be a chess match probably", "but if Conor wants to go to war, we can do that" ... sure... When it's time for business, Floyd will go back to being surgical.

straight up WWE x 100.

he hit em` with the "you can't even read line".

floyd says I read numbers

floyd says "bet your whole check"

conor says "no fucking problem, send me the contract"

now see.. if someone could make that happen.. either of them betting their entire check, that would take this to another level. Then, I would order the PPV.
