No, I don't think so. He has another guy do his wraps. Rafael seems to be too old now to work a corner.

I wonder if it's a smokescreen that Floyd is gonna fight him.
I want to know if the 8 ounce gloves is given the green light.

It's all about the inches
Oh he's going to the body, but he will do it in the usual boring counterpunching way he's been doing it. Paulie really did fukk Conor over. His body is done.
Robert looked impressed

I saw comments from McGregor fans saying that those moves were just shoulder stretches to loosen up.

Dana still getting half that paycheck.
That's why they promote the brand rather than the fighter, that's why it shouldn't be any surprise to hear Conor want to continue boxing after this. Why, more money than MMA

Nevada won't use referee Kenny Bayless for Mayweather-McGregor fight
Lance PugmireContact Reporter
Kenny Bayless, the veteran boxing referee who has worked several of Floyd Mayweather’s fights, will not be assigned to Mayweather’s Aug. 26 bout against UFCchampion Conor McGregor, The Times learned Monday.
Bob Bennett, executive director of the Nevada State Commission, said commission Chairman Anthony Marnell III made the decision after learning of Bayless’ public comments critical of the novel Mayweather-McGregor bout.
McGregor said at his Friday media day that he didn’t believe Bayless should work the fight based on those prior comments.
“His views … he went public on what he thought the fight was,” McGregor told reporters. “He can’t be involved in the event.”
Canelo Alvarez.
The contenders to work Mayweather-McGregor are believed to be Russell Mora, Robert Byrd and Tony Weeks.
The commission will also determine requests by both Mayweather (49-0) and McGregor (21-3 in MMA) to fight in eight-ounce gloves, lighter than the 10-ounce gloves mandated for bouts at 154 pounds and higher.
McGregor would like the lighter gloves because they’re closer in weight to the four-ounce gloves he uses in the UFC, and Mayweather has said eight-ounce gloves improve the effectiveness of his power punches as he seeks his first knockout victory since 2011.
Bennett said the chairman and the commissioners will decide the matter after lobbying by representatives of the fighters. Bennett declined to comment on the issue.
Improving the power of the greatest boxer of his generation against a 6/1 underdog in his pro boxing debut would be magnified should McGregor suffer an injury in a one-sided bout that many expect.
“I don’t think we made too many concessions. I hold fast to my belief this is an approvable fight,” Bennett said. “But you saw Conor at UFC 202 against Nate Diaz, who has sparred against [champion boxer] Andre Ward and who trainer Virgil Hunter says is a world-class boxer. Conor knocked Nate down twice with straight lefts.
“Is this [fight] an anomaly? No doubt. But Conor’s younger, stronger, longer, is a southpaw … .”
Bennett said “you can make an argument” that moving to eight-ounce gloves is an advantage for each fighter.
“Conor is the stronger fighter. If he catches Floyd with the lighter glove, it can do some damage,” Bennett said. “Both of them think it’s to their advantage.”

Think about it, Floyd paid Maidana to switch gloves and he's begging the commission to allow 8 oz gloves. He doesn't give two shyts about Conor and his supposed power. He's going to go straight for Conor's dome.

I want Floyd to beat this kid worse than he beat the late Gatti. Give him a straight lesson on the sweet science of bruising.
Embarrass him for thinking he can step in a boxing ring.
