I know very little about boxing, other than in a heavyweight bout, to always bet on the underdog. Lol..

But going from 6-10 ounces. Does Conner lose the longer this thing goes?

I'm sure Conner as well as all MMA fighters train with heavier gloves. I did

When you step in the ring the idea is you trained with heavier gloves, and putting on the lighter gloves leads to faster hands and more stamina.

I remember the first time I stepped in the ring when I was younger I thought they handed me the wrong gloves lol. My hands felt so quick because I was used to training with 20+ oz gloves.

That all being said while I respect McGregor as a great MMA fighter I would be shocked if he puts up a fight against one of the all time great boxers. Floyd should be able to work McGregor all over the ring.

i listened to an interview with Teddy Atlas and he was saying he'd be surprised if Connor landed a single punch the entire fight. Damn, I knew there was a difference between the two but I wasn't expecting it to be that big of a difference.

Connor has as much chance of winning this fight as I would - he literally has no better shot than me - zero is not better than zero - I would imagine Connor is disqualified in round 2 for throwing a leg kick

Is this a real fight, or real life, or a new sequel to Rocky? Reminds me of an 80s flick. Man I miss the 80s...I can hear the intro music now...
