Re: Boxing's Greatest and Most Controversial Matches

I agree....boxing was great and became a joke with wins that
clearly were stacked cards and it just couldn't trick real fans
anymore
sadly for me UFC seems to have transformed into what I didn't
like about boxing...it became about promoting decent
fighters...as legends and honestly (for me) became totally
disappointing.
I still think there are great fighters around and in the
sport...but it's clear that we are presented almost a false
reality when it comes to who's really the best.
tonight's fight might be interesting. I really don't know much
about either guy and there's SO much hyperbole around the entire
event...it almost makes me want to completely avoid it just
based on all the hype. The payday these guys are getting is
ridiculous and kind of disgusting as well....
I don't know...I wish I could see a silver lining...
you going to check it out Chiprock?

Yeah, I'm definitely going to be watching Mayweather vs McGregor
tonight no doubt, even if I know that this is going to be a bore
of a fight. Yup, I said 'bore'. This is how it's going to
go.....Mayweather is going to run around for 10
Rounds...McGregor is going to be frustrated the whole fight
because he can't get to him. Actually, the fight will end
somewhere in the 4-5th round. Mayweather is conditioned to go 10
Rounds. What's McGregor's average in UFC? 2 rounds? UFC...even
in a Championship Fight only goes 5 Rounds. So he is clearly not
conditioned to take the fight very far. Honestly, I think he
will be out of gas by the end of Round 1, start to waltze around
in Round 2 and 3 to refuel his tank, get frustrated in Round 4
when Mayweather is still refusing to engage and waste what
little gas he has and then BOOM...Mayweather drops him for the
win.
With that said, what makes this fight intriguing is that
anything can happen. For all of McGregor's limited boxing
skills...he has a punchers chance. There is a chance, however
small it is, that Mayweather will engage to take him out for all
the sh*t that McGregor talked during the media hype and that
right there may have been McGregor's best skill for the fight.
Get under Mayweather's skin with all the name calling and smack
talk just to push him into a fight and take him out of his 20
year run fest. Get to a man's ego and you got a shot and pulling
off an upset because he may feel like he's not a man for letting
McGregor get away with running his mouth for the past few
months.

cool.
we'll blow up pennycan like the sherdog forums tonight then!!
so is this considered a UFC event or is the boxing on all the
undercards? I wasn't sure...a full boxing night would be
soooooooooo boring.
hahahaha

bummer it's a full night of boxing.
I just don't care about it anymore. I have some older UFC
fights saved on our DVR I've never seen. I might watch those
leading up to the actual Mayweather Connor fight then.
I am not sure I could stand 2 hours of pre-boxing.
I will check out the main event though...so I'll be posting
then!!

hahahah
I am sure.
it's BOXING!
;)
I keed I keed./
this should be fun. I am seriously going to watch UFC though for
the next hour or two...we have 2 or 3 free events we DVR'd and
hadn't watched...so we'll knock a few of those out as a warm up.
I am guess the main event would be around 8:15 or so?
Is Joe Rogan going to be on the mic? I really like his
announcing honestly...I am guessing probably not?

It's a Showtime Event. Doubt Rogan will have anything to do.
