Mcgregor vs mayweather officially announced. Thoughts lads?
{Ed039's Note - Mayweather in 2 rounds smoking a cigar and fighting in his slippers)
1.) 16 Jun 2017 21:24:51
Can't see mayweather knocking him out. But I reckon mayweather on points by winning every round
2.) 17 Jun 2017 17:12:50
Floyd is going to stop him. That's a GUARANTEE.
Either Connor quits or the referee stops it. It's a rubbish match-up
3.) 08 Jul 2017 18:40:36
It will be competitive for 15 minutes, then Conor will gas and Floyd will school him completely.
You can't go into a 45 minute fight, when you've been only doing 15 minute fights for 15 years. Muscle memory will take its toll and I wouldn't be surprised if we see Floyd thrown to the floor in a clinch.
I think Floyd stops him in 7th round, I just can't see Conor having any energy left after the 5th or 6th.

its just a circus act.

For me that was poor from ggg. I worry canelo could beat him now and it makes me sick to say that. 2 poor fights in a row. Is he aging,?
1.) 19 Mar 2017 10:25:29
My thoughts too. I think Jacobs had a great plan though & would take nothing away from his performance. Like his corner said, "we fight fire with finesse". Jacobs was very disciplined, stuck to the game plan & didn't allow Golovkin's pressure to get to him. I scored it 114-113 Jacobs, but can see it the other way. Don't see the 115-112 Golovkin.
Styles make fights though. Jacobs could move & had the power to keep Golovkin honest. Canelo is flat footed & that may help Golovkin.
The one fight I think he probably loses is against Lara if that fight ever happens.
As much as Golovkin might be criticized, I think Jacobs deserves all the applause he has been getting. He fought a great fight.

It didn't go how I thought it would but had ggg 4 up. The problem with it going the distance for ggg is that he can be hit, but not hurt. He had him on the deck in round 4 so there's 2 points and I had him another 2 rounds ups . Jacobs was nice and clean but the more hurtful shots came from glovkin. If it was a fight to the finish then glovkin would win. He is the champion and you have to do better than that to take the belts imo.
3.) 19 Mar 2017 18:43:36
He looked slow and old in my opinion. However, that could just be motivation, he knows the big money fight is Canelo, so maybe if they fight later this year, we'll see the Golovkin we all know.

A bit of perspective. The agreed contract was to fight for all titles. IBF has changed to same day weigh in. GGG did not refuel over night and made 160 in the morning of the fight.Jacobs,did not show.
Jacobs came in at 180lb's in the ring,having had almost 40 hours to rehydrate and refuel,GGG had about 12 hours having honoured his side of the contract. It was cheap from Daniels. It makes a HELL of a difference one fighter completely drained and the other ready to go,even so I still gave it GGG by 2 rounds. Even then I never felt GGG was hurt,but Daniels wasbuzzed a few times. GGG simply did what he had to. Canelo will still avoid him.
I feel most people haven't watched a lot of GGG's fights,he's always gotten caght and tagged,he keeps a high guard,and moves his head very little,he just walks you down and closes of your angles with his lateral movement,and makes you fight ina phone booth,he's always illing to accept your hook if he opens up,as he knws his hook is better. That's just the way he's always fought. too many fans just haven't watched enough of his old fights,and thinks he is meant to box like manny marquez or mayweather,when in actual fact he's closer to Winky.(but with more power and a better chin) He'll be fine,he was possibly over confident,and unaware of the closeness of the duel.Bu for me the decision should havenever been in doubt.

Predictions for ggg Jacobs tonight lads
1.) 18 Mar 2017 11:12:08
ggg to knock Jacobs out before 8 rounds
2.) 18 Mar 2017 11:44:53
Agree with that. Hopefully ggg doesn't look too good and scares off canelo lol
3.) 18 Mar 2017 20:34:14
Canelo will do a floyd and wait until the odds are more in his favour. Triple g is scary and for me it's not his punching power it's the fact that he can take a bat, I've seen him take some hourendous punches from renowned punchers and he doesn't even blink. Ggg can be hit but he doesn't give a shit and just ploughs through people. A monster! Most exciting fighter since tyson in his pomp (and I don't mean the mentally weak gypo tyson lol)
4.) 18 Mar 2017 21:40:47
For me ggg has a few strengths. Punching power Obv but footwork movement and ring IQ r the best in the biz

Watched a interesting thing. Who wins prime floyd or prime naseem
{Ed025's Note - floyd im afraid, loved naseem and mayweather the person is a horror bag but think too smart for hamed..
1.) 03 Mar 2017 14:22:53
I think Hamed. He could punch from such unsual angles and positions. Even when he looked completely off balance, he'd be able to hit them with a knock-out punch. It wasn't just his punching that was unusual, the way he moved around the ring was just baffling at times. Personally I think most of his opponents were beaten by him confusing the hell out of them.
{Ed001's Note - Hamed could have been in the argument for best ever, if he had not lost his drive and desire. Mayweather is never going to get near that discussion. That says it all for me. If they were both at their best Hamed would win.}
2.) 03 Mar 2017 21:04:10
Agreed edd
3.) 03 Mar 2017 23:00:34
Hamed had amazing reflexes and head speed added with devastating power and great recovery. He could just go all out on mayweather as mayweather doesn't have the power to put him down and would probably struggle to hit him.
Basically comes down to how good mayweathers defence actually is. Wouldn't be surprised if he could dodge all of it, but personally don't think he could.

1.) 28 Feb 2017 23:22:08
TBH actually see prime Naseem winning. Tough call as mayweather has the best defence and is probably the most tactically adept boxer who has ever got into the ring.
But naseems reflexes were supernatural and had scary power and speed in his hands. added to that has great recovery and chin, plus mayweather doesn't really have the power IMO to put him down and Naseem was far more aggressive.
Saying that mayweather might be THAT good that Naseem never manages to land clean or get into a rythum.
2.) 01 Mar 2017 00:31:09
Really! Floyd bores me to death but come on! Are we really talking about these guys in the same breath!
10 Apr 2017 21:54:05
True that mate I watched his last fight and man that ko was Savage. Coulda been a lucky shot tho
09 Apr 2017 01:39:55
Got tickets for it mate bit I fancy indongo if he lands flush it not burns on points
02 Apr 2017 13:23:46
Bredies abused Huck last night. If Huck retired which I think he might that was a sad way to bow out
