It's possible. Punchers chance. Odds are very unlikely though. If Floyd keeps it technical and doesn't do anything stupid, he's coasting by.

i agree

 

i dont like floyd talking about going for the ko he should go out there and just do what he always does hit and not get hit if he does that he wins

 

he dont need to ko conor but i feel conor must ko floyd to win.

he's just trying to sell more PPV's. i think there's about a 1% chance he goes for a KO instead of just point-fighting and winning a very lopsided decision.

Watching the Mcgregor diaz second fight, Mcgregors gas tank seemed a little suspect I know it was a tough fight but can anyone see this being a problem vs Floyd over 12 rounds.

 

 

I doubt it. Grappling is way more taxing to the gas tank than just boxing, the rounds are only 3 minutes, and Floyd probably won't be pushing the pace anyway. There aren't nearly as many moments in boxing where you're using all your strength at once, unlike how it is in mma (takedowns, defending takedowns, cage tie-ups, scrambles, etc), and you can fight much more relaxed because the only thing you have to worry about defending is punches.

But don't underestimate the amount of strikes being thrown in boxing. Several times the amount, that we typically stand to see in an MMA fight. MUCH more volume. And your arms will get tired. McGregor will be outstruck by quite a margin against Mayweather. Getting decked in the mug and in the gut is somewhat tiresome as well. He will fade quickly. I think Mayweather will mercifully put him away mid-fight. I only see Conor go the distance if Mayweather fights so super conservative, to the point that it would be uncharacteristically even for him.
