    I have to take McGregor. Floyd will be exposed for all time.

    Sorry for another thread about this fight
    but as it approaches and I absorb all the predictions
    and info.. the more confident I feel that McGregor will
    not take no for an answer.
    The boxers who say Floyd will win are biased. They are
    defending their sport's image more than really looking at
    these two men and their abilities to emerge victorious.

    Floyd was never really tough. I never respected him as a fighter,
    he emerged in his class during a weak era. It's been almost 20
    years since Floyd hit someone hard enough to really hurt them.
    He is small. He doesn't have the strength to push this fight into
    late rounds. Conor will buck up into his face and throw so many
    blows against him that defense will be impossible. The move to
    8oz gloves gives McGregor the ability to cause pain in Floyd's arms
    which will be up all the time from trying to defend. Conor will punch
    him mercilessly everywhere. Floyd's arms will go numb.

    I see McGregor sinking his head low to get under Floyd's throws
    then jutting up and IN - pushing Floyd back, Floyd raises his gloves
    to defend his head while Conor pounds his torso. Conor can take
    anything Floyd hits him with. I have my doubts whether or not Floyd
    will even have the ability to move Conor back at all.
    Don't forget, in boxing there is an allowable amount of pushing and nudging
    which Conor will use to get inside. Conor's legs are strong. He will use them
    to move his striking position around Floyd in ways boxers don't see.

    McGregor will charge like a thoroughbred out of the gate. I'm not sure
    if he will do that at the very onset of the fight or in the start of a next round
    but it will happen. This is a street fight for Conor. He looks at Floyd as the
    prey.. like a lion charging an antelope. Floyd will be out of his comfort zone.
    He will try to turn this into a boxing match, but Conor will never let that happen.
    There will be no dancing around and jabbing. Once McGregor gets inside it
    won't take much to send Floyd to the mat. A couple times this happens
    then the officials will call the fight for McGregor. It would be sad and scary
    to see Floyd unable to regain his feet in the 10-count but that is possible.

    The kicker is Conor's southpaw power.. Floyd will have to defend against
    both hands becase both can hurt him. When McGregor lands on Floyd's
    gut with leverage he will send Floyd curling over. Floyd is going to bleed.

    The result will be Floyd making tons of money, his excuses include being
    out of his prime - and the unorthodox style of McGregor. Floyd's professional
    boxing record of 49-0 remains unscathed.

    The strategy of McGregor should be to keep his head down, plow in,
    stay low and get under Floyd's arms to work his midsection, sending
    him back to set up for the KO.

    95% of the bettors have taken MacGregor. The Vegas Sportsbooks are vulnerable. The Wise Guys are on Floyd. Do the math: the public always loses, the books always win, and the WiseGuys always win. That's a hat trick. The play is Mayweather, probably by DQ.

    Harry that's all disinformation.

    Vegas is too sharp, the business stays the same.
    They will adjust the line based on dollar action as always.
    That's their job, it is all corporate now.

    Mayweather opened -900 and it went down to -400. That tells you about the action coming in on MacGregor. It's all public money. The pros are betting Floyd or props (won't go 9, Conor DQ, etc)

    Mayweather may be the best defensive fighter who ever lived. He's virtually impossible to hit. Even though he's 40 he's still in outstanding shape and has never once let himself get out of shape. He will let Conor tire himself out with aggressiveness, then will start picking him apart. Floyd probably doesn't have the power to knock the Irishman out, but will surgically administer a beating. Conor will realize he's running out of energy and power, will become frustrated, and will probably do a leg sweep or an elbow, and I predict he will get himself DQ'd to save face. Floyd wins! There will be immediate talk of a rematch.

    Don't underestimate the racial factor, too. Mayweather, who's never been beaten, certainly does not want to lose to a loudmouth white guy. Not gonna happen.

    You know the promotional people did a Hell of a job when bettors are taking a ufc fighter against an undefeated champion in his own setting.

    Snowball you sound like a kid who loves Mac Gregor.

    My favorite part is you saying "defense will be impossible" for Floyd

    I may sprinkle a bit on MacGregor first 3 rounds, because he could catch him. But if he doesn't take care of it by then he is in trouble.

    McGregor hasn't seen anyone with Mayweather's speed or defensive ability; -450 is a bargain.

    Floyd in debt to the IRS and over 40 years old..little man with no power and the only person he has KO'd recently is his girlfriend

    boxing fans will find excuse after excuse if Conor wins and I pray that it happens

    Mayweather wins and he collects 300 Million +/-.

    If he loses, they fight once more at least and twice more if he wins the 2nd fight.

    300 million before taxes, liens,etc. is nice but 600 and probably 900 million is much nicer.

    What is the "and -0" worth on his all time record?

    600,000,000.00 ?

    that's where I was just a few days ago.. still reserving to take Mayweather
    but hedging with McGregor early "just in case".

    I've developed since .. we feared McGregor why ? Why is because Floyd is a wimp.

    "The handle is insane. It is easily going to pass the handle for any fight ever booked in the state of Nevada. The liability is equally insane, as tickets are coming in on Conor McGregor at about an eighteen to one clip. The props are all drawing fantastic action with the most popular being will McGregor get disqualified. A lot of people believe that McGregor will get frustrated and eventually snap and do something Tyson like." -Nick Bogdanovich, William Hill US, Director of Trading.

    the number of bets is meaningless.
    only dollar volume matters, plus they make tons off props.
    the vegas books are corporate, they don't make bets !
    mitigation of side risk is always held tight. but believe what you must.

    Would probably be something like, "Yeah but Mayweather landed more punches before he got knocked out", kind of along the lines of "yeah but she won the popular vote"

    It really makes sense. Mayweather fought guys like Cotto , Canelo , Pacquiao , Mosely and Ortiz. Not one of them could really lay a serious shot on him. McGregor is great to watch, love the guy. But this is a whole new ballgame.

    McGregor's only shot is to awkwardly box him till Mayweather gets over confident and goes for a knockout blow himself, which will leave him exposed for a one-shot uppercut for the KO. I expect Connor to come out swinging but he'll tire quickly, perfectly setting up the rope-a-dope "Rocky Style".

    The only other outcome is a DQ or Mayweather wins by scorecard. It's NOT ending inside of the 1sr round.

    McGregor's only shot is if Floyd gets run over by a bus on his way to the arena.

    Books have written a ton more tickets on Connor but more money has been bet by Floyd. Don't believe everything you read about books being overexposed. WH is saying they could lose 7 figures with a Connor win. WH has over 30 real books and 100's of remote kiosks. 7 figures is not a whole lot to absorb with that many books.

    To me the fight is unbettable. Putting money on Floyd at -500 will cash but I'm not putting 50k up to win a measly 10k and props are a crapshoot.

    Well considering Snowball has rarely been right about anything posted on SBR with the exception of a few -300 plays....I'd say par for the course.
