Mayweather has never fought a fighter with as many styles as McGregor, Do you think McGregor is going to come out and stand in a typical boxing stance?
Helllll no, He'll constantly be switching stances from Capoeira to Karate then to Irish and finish it off with a Thai stance... Mayweather has never faced these stances and wont know what will come after them or where the strikes are coming from.
Mayweather also doesn't possess the knockout power some people are saying he does, The only way mayweather wins is via points, Mcgregor only has to land a few punches and even if he doesn't land them, do you think Mayweather had enough guard to constantly take one of the most powerful combat sportsmen's strikes?
49-1...
If you think someone is going to use Capoeira or any stance other than boxing in a professional boxing match against the best boxer of our time then i suggest you take yourself down to your nearest boxing gym and educate yourself on why you don't see it and never will unless they're asking to be knocked out.
As for the fight itself..
I can't really see it going to McGregor. Yeah he's loud, brash and entertaining but when all is said and done he's walking into a new sport and that is fact.
If you're in the know then you know boxing is very different to striking in MMA. Everything from angles, timing, movement & distance all change to some degree.
McGregor is not 'one of the most powerful combat sportsmen'. Far from it. I can name a good 25 - 30 people in his own weight class from various organisations that beat him on power. McGregor has never be known for his power what he his known for is his timing and accurate, precise punches. Different to power.. That is McGregors strong point.
The timing he possesses is on the level of GSP and other top tier fighters. He also has a very good ability of hiding his strikes behind Capoeira something which gets completely taken away in a boxing match. The difference in MMA timing and boxing will be a good thing to look out for to see if he has adjusted well to it.
All this is not even mentioning going from 4 - 6oz MMA to 10oz boxing gloves. He's going to find out that he might not be as accurate and precise as he thought he was when he was wearing MMA gloves. Everyone who has made a switch between the two always bring that point up. He'll be no different.
There is a reason Mayweather is 49 - 0 regardless of how he fights. Boxing is a science compared to MMA striking and Mayweather has that science down to a point.
This is coming from someone who has been in a ring and a cage semi - professionally up and down the country.
Mayweathers winning this.
