Just watched the weigh in video (because screw following this sham fight intently)...what the hell was Conor thinking with his weight cut? What has he been doing since November (when he made 155 relatively easily against Eddie Alvarez)? Compared to Floyd, who looked amazing and unburdened at 149, Conor looked like a concentration camp victim.
Beyond the fun and games and bullshyt, this is legitimately worrying for Conor because, beyond losing, the guy's in danger of being seriously brain damaged in this match. Not saying that it
will happen, but there's a big difference between boxing in MMA and boxing in Boxing (I just had to school my ex on this yesterday, since she couldn't comprehend why I said that the fight will go exactly as long as Floyd wants it to and will end in the manner Floyd wants it to) and a huge chunk of that difference concerns how you're getting punched in the head at any given moment. Beyond even that kind of danger, there's zero chance that Conor will be able to absorb real body work from Floyd, which could also drastically alter his career if it goes long enough.
This is gonna be a shytshow. I'm an MMA fan and all, but Floyd's gonna hurt this man if everything is on the level (in fact, I predicted that Floyd will make him quit on his stool, or at least
try to make him do so).
Edit: Just checked the r/MMA thread on the fight. It's amazing how little they know about...anything, really. Like, I just saw someone make the comment "McGregor looked like a fukking animal at that weigh-in. Mayweather looked like he was there just for that payday." seriously. fukking laughable.
