Being half Irish myself I can comfortably say that I have never heard so much bullshit come out of a human beings mouth as I have Connors.

He's accused his opponent of having poor "in and out" technique lol.

Arguably the best tactical boxer to ever live hahaha

as a 40 year boxing aficionado,there is only 1 outcome to this fight,under boxing rules Connor will get himself knocked out or Disqualified
the octagon is a different world to the boxing ring

Think most people would like to see Conor win though, just for the pure shock value. However, it's not going to happen.

Personally i wont be watching it,its a disgrace to Rocky Marciano's record that a boxer is fighting a cage fighter to beat his 49-0, it wont be pretty boy's last fight either,the way he spends money he will have to keep fighting

Tactical slow destruction is what will happen. With a probably knockout. Conner will be lucky to hit him. I've done a bit of boxing and flicked 10,000+ jabs and this guy will have flicked 1,000,000 jabs. The speed and power and movement reflexes he will have developed will eclipse conners much more varied fighting repertoire.

Conner's the better all round fighter no doubt. But this is like a rally car against a formula 1 on a formula 1 racking track. No chance.

Agree to an extent. But lucky to hit him? I wouldn't be so sure about that comment. This guy acts like a show pony and a bit of a lout, but he's a skilled fighter and I'm sure it'll be better than expected. I can't imagine he'd rest easy with embarrassing himself. I expect he's been training hard and is taking it seriously.

Saying that, still expect Floyd to win.

floyd in recent fights has never been tested,when he was a bit younger had a couple of dubious decisions go his way,bottom line is that mayweather is the naturally bigger man,and has 30 years boxing under his belt
be a massive upset if he lost

Slight exaggeration perhaps but I'll stand by the fact I think Conner will connect 2 or 3 good punches in the whole fight.

Sounds like a wager to me ;)

Not a chance. My labourer has already tried to up his 10:1 odds bet of a fiver to a tenner. I need a tenner a lot less than I don't need to loss 100 and it is possible so I told him to **** *******

It's not going to happen, but it's still worth putting a flutter on Conor to do the business.

I have a tenor for connor to win only because its better odds but I do think the fight is a farce ... similar to when ali fought that wrestler in 1976

Me and my Mrs are watching the fight. She's Filipina and hates Mayweather cos he beat Pacquiau. She also likes seeing me proved wrong (it's rare ;-)) . In this case I have money on Mayweather cos I'm not an idiot and my labourer has a big gob shite mouth yet I am routing for Conner cos Mayweather is a prick. If my preferred choice wins I lose 50. If that twat wins I win 5.

Not really the best predicament.

Oh and I predict either round 3 win or round 7 win by May. He'll play safe but either realise quicky he can decimate his opponent and make a fool of him or he'll just grind him to the 7th if he's not 1000000% sure.

While I'm not sure in Conor's ability, I also don't think he's stupid (often hard to believe). I reckon more likely to go to round 7 than 3. Conor's not used to going that distance so it could be interesting.
