Depends. If you steal someone's Cloud Song, interfere with Kiting, or run into the whelp caves, PLind and 2Real instantly appear and will proceed to tell you every bad move the Flyers have ever made.

Then rinaldo chimes in with his usual cross of intellect and spelling.

What's funny? The confirmed debunked knock out rumor? Or the fact Floyd hasn't knocked anyone out in years?

Never said anything about Mayweather getting a knockout. I said Mayweather will beat him up. McGregor is not a boxer.

Have you watched the sparring videos? it's pathetic.

now, if it were an MMA style fight, Mayweather wouldn't stand a chance.

McGregor has a boxing background, but obviously not the background/extent of a professional. I have seen the videos and I think they very well could be bait; Conor is no idiot. Neither is Floyd. Do I think Floyd will win? Yeah. Do I think Conor has a chance? I do. And I certainly think this fight will be far more legit/entertaining than people are saying/thinking. My bold (perhaps my most bold in all sports) prediction is Conor KOs Floyd in the 5th with a left uppercut. I just can't cheer for Floyd, too.

there certainly is that chance. Mcgregor has WAAAAY more power than Mayweather.

All he has to do is connect cleanly once with his left and that old man is crumbling. Having said that, it's been nearly impossible to land a clean punch on Floyd with that much power.

Yeah, but his power will be lessened by wearing 10oz gloves, compared to the 4oz gloves they wear in the UFC. I highly doubt that McGregor will hit Mayweather with any significant punch the entire fight. World class boxers who have been doing this all of their life don't touch Floyd.

This is why I feel like Mayweather will take the chance and try to punish McGregor for as long as he can. I say it's a chance because there is always that possibility he gets that one good shot in and hurts Mayweather.

My feeling is that Mayweather puts on a stick and move clinic. In and out jab and duck.....

McGregor will get frustrated and wild, and probably forget himself and go to his MMA instincts a few times.

It should be an interesting night lol.

I don't think Mayweather will knock McGregor out. I think he's got a legit chin. What will happen is Mayweather will just pepper his face all night and either the doctor will stop the fight, McGregors corner stops the fight, or the referee stops the fight.

It's built into the contract that if Mcgregor resorts to any MMA tactics, he forfeits his purse, and is subject to legal action. So that won't happen.

I haven't watched the UFC once since it went from no time/no weight class tournament styles to timed/weight class single bouts. But I'd like to see Mcgregor knock the dude out in 4 seconds.

It's hard not to! I think Joe Rogan said it best, "If Conor comes in and just drop-kicks Floyd, he'll be a godamn sports god/hero for life."

But bye-bye money if that happens.

Weight classes / cutting have become major issue in recent years. It seems every card someone has to drop out due to not cutting enough or just not being healthy enough from cutting too much, too soon. It sucks. Personally I haven't paid for a card that it's happened but man I'd be pissed! It's hard not to cheer for Conor to win. He's quite impressive.

The original intent, as I believed it, was to show that if two guys met in a match to the death, who would survive? Aside from biting, there were no rules, no gloves, no weight classes, and no time limits. It was very Thunderdome. That's what I loved. I understand that it had to evolve to prosper, and I know it's very enjoyable to some people. I just can't get into it.

Ill be honest, theres a real reason the betting lines have changed dramatically.

i think Floyd wins a decision, but this isnt as open and closed as a lot of people think.

Floyd has struggled the most with south paws... Conor is a south paw.

He has ZERO tape of Conor actually boxing.

Conor is the most unorthodox fighter in MMA, and most likely will be unorthodox in the ring. Floyd has had his fits with guys throwing punches from strange angles-- like the De La Hoya fight and the first Maidana fight.

Conor fights. He isnt going in there to win a decision. He is gonna push the pace and forget about trying to win on points... its impossible vs Mayweather.

Those few thngs are why the betting line has gone from 9/1 to 5/1.
