My money is on McGregor, he is a absolute beast, and he is in good shape.. Floyd is 40 years old, bad shape.. But at the same time Connor aint a boxer, but still im all for the beast McGregor... Will be the fight of the year tho,
McGregor is kind of a freak athlete however the only chance he has if he knocks out mayweather early. If it goes for many rounds I doubt he even has a chance.
So id say mayweather overall but everyone likes an underdog
Mayweather is 40, he's old, rusty, it's like he's stuck in the mud almost.
In all seriousness, can't wait to see floyd see dance around the ring like the tiny little sand crab he is. Floyd is probaly going to win by decision, but if McGregor can pull something off the first 5 rounds he might take it too.
The way that McGregor fights with his smaller gloves, quicker hands, and with how agile he comes out to be is enough to tell me that he's probably going to win.
The longer time goes on the less I see that being viable, I just don't think it'll go the distance. Mayweather is admittedly not taking this as seriously as McGregor and simply doesn't have the power to KO anyone these days. The move down to 8oz gloves means he has less glove to hide behind or absorb the hammers McGregor sneaks by. I forsee McGregor being beaten points wise handily but landing some brutal shots that floyd simply can't take and eventually getting the KO. Paulie was destroyed by Connor in sparring with 10oz gloves and headgear and he is a two time world champion boxer, the odds are starting to sway in Macs favor. Odds in vegas have changed dramatically over the passed few weeks.
I just spread $75 worth of bets on mcgregor winning, basically because if Floyd wins you wont hardly profit anything. If conor wins i will make 132 dollars. If he wins in 4 or less rounds i will make 419 dollars.
