OFFICIAL BOXING DISCUSSION

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.

You should change it to the biggest money spinner of all time, Demps.
No problem agreeing with that.
The reality is McGregor is not a boxer and Mayweather is just in it for easy money.
If you enjoy real fights have a look at Sugar Ray Leonard fighting guys like Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran.
If you haven't seen them and you enjoy boxing then you'll love them.
All of the above would have taken care of Mayweather.

Yeah. Sure… Classics are great but Mayweather is the new era champion. He will equal Marcianos record with one more win. Against Connor which I have no doubt in my mind he will.

It's easier to make claims like Tyson would beat Ali.
Connor asked for this and he is getting it and he will get it, the hands that is. Floyd is going to punish this little loud mouth, he should be defending his UFC titles instead of turning it up for the cameras.

Mann's mum is chucking a fit over Manny's loss. Manny blamed the judges. But all his clan wants him to retire.

In case anyone else was following my favourite here is still in Voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07jlIvKpX50

 

[Tigerdon]

Beautiful. Thanks BYron! I didn't even know the Phills had theVoice. You learn something every day.

Here is one of the judges, Lea Salonga, performing at President Aquino's funeral years ago. An emotional affair as Aquino took on Marcos after her husband was killed at Manila airport, who was coming back to champion democracy against martial law. We all know his famous last words….

 

[Demps]

Reminder. One week lads.

 

[gallagher]

Will it be fair dinkum or one of those fights were everyone has read the script?

Hagler v Hearns round 1, in my opinion the greatest opening round of all time.

 

[sheer64]

Connor either wins it within 5 by knockout or points to Mayweather. The first few rounds should be entertaining.

 

[Harvey]

I feel sorry for anyone that is going to pay to see it. Will be a complete circus.

 

[Demps]

Going to the pub.
Every venue in Newcastle has this on and will be guaranteed packed everywhere.

Only thing I'm looking forward to is watching Fox bleat like stuck pigs when a few people stream it over Facebook again.

 

[The_Old_Fox]

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.

Totally agree with your assessment Stryker… more like one of those fake wrestling matches.

100% scripted you would think.
Just a freak show. Would be more interesting to watch Donny Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon and that pygmy gimp from North Korea thrash it out in the Octagon.

Does anyone have a livestream link?

 

[tigerap]

Feel sorry for pple who paid $60 for Foxtel main event (which crashed half way through)…whereas I watched on my TV in HD in my lounge room for $0.

Mayweather never looked like losing...

 

[stryker]

For what its worth I saw the replay and thought it was an ok fight, certainly no classic. Floyd owned him from round 2 onwards allowing him to throw some very weak punches before tagging him with enough to claim 8 rounds in a row before his corner told him to go for it. When Floyd put his foot down, Connor had nothing.

Reminded me a bit of that film the great white hype. When the white guy layed a couple on the black guy he said "are you trying to embarrass me on tv?" before going on to dominate him.

Anyway, glad this farce is over…the con job has been completed and everyone involved made out like bandits. Good for them.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Haven't watched boxing in a long time, but was disappointed that the fight got stopped when it did. is this normal now?

 

[earl]

It was a farce but McGregor did a lot better than what I thought he would.
