Surprisingly this topic has yet to make it to the IRON Forums. It's making headlines everywhere as the biggest FIGHTING event in history. With a MMA fighter meeting a Profesional Boxer on his turf. There's been a ton of debate and banter over the odds of the outcome of this fight. And I know we have some UFC/Fight fans in IRON so I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Even if you have no idea about the MMA/Boxing world I'd like to hear your opinion!
Personally I'm torn. In the beginning when the idea was brewing I immediately thought "that's a joke, mayweather is a pro and would school Conor in a boxing ring". Most everyone had this thought and a lot of people still do. Conor is really going out of his element in this event. Now a lot of people despise McGregor because of his cockiness and bigger than life attitude, but I'm actually a fan of him. He backs up what he talks.
As I thought a little more about the fight, I'm leaning towards Conor a bit. Mayweather has been retired for a while, hasn't been in the ring fighting, hasn't knocked out anyone in years. Conor on the other hand is on a hot streak. He's been on his game in the UFC taking the Championship belt in two different weight classes. And he's been training nothing but boxing ever since the Mayweather dilemma came up.
Conor has the knockout power. But Floyd is a professional at what he does. 49-0 speaks for itself. And my official prediction is that Mayweather will win by decision and points, as always. I would love to see Conor knock him out cold, but we all know this is highly unlikely.
