I am sure they wrote better songs in the ole days

Manny left without his belt in Australia today, he had to lose eventually at the age of 38 years, good it was to an Aussie - I was tempted to back Horn and Tigers in a double. I have never seen Pacquaio fight so defensively?

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

The amazing thing about this bout was how for the first few rounds they did not gradually sound each other out - it was on from the opening that was greatly appreciated by the crowd.

 

[DonnyBrasco]

Yes, I didn't think old horny could pull it off, but all that Queensland spirit you blokes go on about might be on the money.
The Americans got an ESPN feed and they had pacmoney ahead the entire fight which is a joke. Quite a few famous fighters also thought PACmoney was robbed, but it ended up being a close fight and congrats to the Aussie battler for staying in when it got tough.

He's lost a bunch of time before…

Of course but he lost another belt today so must be significant. I was glad to an Aussie because when Pacquaio defeated Aussie Nadal Hussain years ago the ref was a bit slow counting when Manny was floored early in the fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSI-TnZD2LY

Most politicians know nothing about politics, all that matters to them is being rich and Manny already has that box ticked off.

He aint a nice guy, Idi Amin once shook my hand…

"Pacquiao, who converted from Catholicism to an evangelical Protestant faith late in his boxing career, ignited a global controversy this week when he described homosexuals as worse than animals.

"It's common sense. Do you see animals mating with the same sex? Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female," Pacquiao told Filipino television station TV5\. "

And like most religious fanatics, he's probably scientifically illiterate as IIRC some 300 species of animals display homosexual behaviours.

Including dolphins and chimps!

Interesting to see the other 298 lol

Manny should have got his wrecking ball mommy with him for support

Fight goes down August 27th.
The biggest fight of all time.

Anyone else following the press conferences?
Personally think Connor is cringe and will die in this fight.

Thoughts?

Poll too for any fans.

 

[Nelson]

Both arrogant tosspots but Mayweather has the record to back his mouth. I hope McGregor gets flogged.

Im with ya.
This world tour promo thing is embarrassing.

Connor is so bad, Floyd pays more tax than Connor is even worth and hes telling him he cant afford a suit.

I cant wait to see Connor get his head caved in , August 27th.

 

[Russta]

I love Connor's pin strip suit though. Gee he talks some s#*t. We'll see if he can back it up. Most mouths can't.

 

[Yossarian]

Mayweather is one of the all time greats of boxing. The only thing that could stop him is his age. Hard to see McGregor still throwing heat in the second half of the fight. Mayweather by TKO for me.

 

[stryker]

This is the most pointless, stupid fight of all time. As a true combat sports fan for decades now it upsets me. These two are the most dislikeable pieces of trash in their respective sports. The garbage they are going on with during the promotional "world tour" is embarrassing and is pandering to the lowest creatures in society. It is a total ripoff of WWE which in itself was created to appease those with double digit IQ's.

Could not care less about the result as it means and proves nothing. Total con with a script already written and learnt by both men. Dont spend money on this crap, you are feeding the beast which is destroying combat sport.

 

[upthetigers]

Mctapper will be lucky to put a hand on him. I couldn't care less about this fight I want to see a trilogy fight with Diaz.

Diaz will win the third imo.

I have got approved leave and will be hitting the pub and watching this. Wouldn't pay for the main event at home lol.

Long time Mayweather fan and Stryker is right regarding the embarrassment with the world tour. It's beyond cringe worthy. Because of Mcnugget tho.

Demps, you lost any credibility in your OP when you said this was the biggest fight of all time (unless, as I hope you were taking the mickey)
This whole thing (won't call it a fight) is a joke, and it's amazing how many people don't get it.

This will be the biggest fight of all time, money wise.

Connor holds the Highest PPVs with the UFC and Floyd is without a doubt the best boxer of modern times who constantly does huge numbers with his fights.

Credibility? This isn't my opinion. It's fact.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Is McGregor a boxer?

 

[Nelson]

Is McGregor a boxer?

It's the strongest aspect of his fighting style but no, he's not a technical boxer. If he doesn't knock Mayweather out he'll lose every round.
