Sciread77 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 I've not seen much aside from the spambots posting links, but is anyone looking to watch? I like to watch boxing but really haven't for several years. I used to box regularly but a decade ago I decided I liked my nose more than I liked boxing. Seems to me that Mayweather has an amazing defense, and his 49-0 record is pretty impressive. McGregor is younger, powerful, and unpredictable. Seems a lot of people are betting on a major upset. It could be an exciting bout in any case. Quote Adventurer, Half-Dwarf Chaotic-Good Paladin Ne me dites jamais les chances! ¡Nunca me digas las probabilidades!

Sciread77 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I believe it. It's too bad we have the spambot problem we do.

Sciread77 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Sounds like it was pretty exciting, even if it did end more or less like I figured. Part of me was hoping for an upset (that's the American in me, I suppose) but part of me wanted the boxer to soundly defeat the MMA guy to preserve the integrity of the sport.

Helix "The Peasant" Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 If both athletes trained 10000 hours for the fight. Floyd trained 10000 hours boxing. Conor trained 3k h boxing, 3k hours kicking, 4k grappling. (and perhaps a few thousand hours talking smack) It was obvious Floyd would win the match, he has trained for THAT sport and THAT sport alone. 1 Quote Vegan Bum Adventurer on a bike.

Sciread77 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I think the odds were always in Mayweather's favor. As you point out, he's a boxing champion in a boxing championship. And one of the best defensive boxers in memory. That said, history is littered with upsets and it's always great to see them. I think that McGregor should be proud of his performance, in any case. If Mayweather screwed up big, it could have been an upset. Quote Adventurer, Half-Dwarf Chaotic-Good Paladin Ne me dites jamais les chances! ¡Nunca me digas las probabilidades!
