in sports •  8 years ago 

I personally am excited for this one. A lot of people are completely writing Conor McGregor off, as he don't have a chance as an 0-0 boxer going up against arguably the greatest boxer ever to lace up the gloves. I am rooting for Conor just because he is a massive under dog and, the pay out for his victory is much bigger!!! I would love to hear what you guys think of this fight. Who will win and why. Please leave a comment id love to read it!!sp

Here are there bios.

In 2015, at UFC 194, McGregor defeated José Aldo for the UFC Featherweight Championship via knockout thirteen seconds into the first round. This was the fastest victory in UFC title fight history.[13] Upon defeating Eddie Alvarez for the UFC Lightweight Championship at UFC 205, McGregor became the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight divisions simultaneously.[14]
He is known for being the biggest pay-per-view draw in MMA history, as well as his extravagant lifestyle and trash talking.[15] In 2016, he was the first mixed martial artist to ever make the Forbes top 100 highest paid athletes list at #85 with $22 million[16] and was even higher in 2017, tied at #24 with $34 million in total earnings.[17]

you see i think mcgregor will do really well, i have been watching vids on both and mayweather has a weakness to the left side and we know that mcgregor is good with his left side the only thing that does worry me a bit, is that he might forget its just pure boxing and do something really stupid like kick mayweather in the head or something and get disqualified lol.
Whichever way it goes its gonna be a fight u cannot miss :)

lol a kick to the head would be interesting, it would definitely make for great t.v lol

i know right, just hope i dont miss the fight as timezones are rubbish
