    On paper, this fight shouldn't last more than 4 rounds, in reality it will probably go past round 8, maybe even go the distance to put on a show for the world with a possible rematch.

    I reckon Mayweather will win, but I hope to **** MacGregor puts him on his arse at some point in the fight.

    Mayweather won't knock him out, I don't think. He'll be outclassing him and pummelling him that much that I think the ref will end up having to step in and stop it.

    I don't get what was reported earlier in that 8oz gloves suit MacGregor??? Mayweather has always fought in 8oz gloves, MacGregor is used to 4oz gloves in UFC???

    I'm quite fascinated by this. Mcgregor's bravado and front almost makes you think he can win it, when surely he can't?

    For sure if he hits Floyd clean he can hurt him, but the adjustment from UFC is huge.

    Down a back lane with nobody to stop them I dare say Connor would knock **** out of him, but in the ring? I still can't see it.

    FYI if you are 100% on Floyd, the round betting odds on 365/SkyBet make it possible to have a 'no lose bet', put £20 on all 3 grouping and the worst case scenario is 5-9 you cover your losses.

    You're ****ed if Floyd gets smacked like.

    The difference is negligible the additional 4oz in boxing gloves is the finger/thumb coverings and the longer cuffs.

    Suits both fighters, FM has had most of his wins in 8oz.

    Wrong mate, Nevada State boxing rules state that the 147 pound weight class wear 8oz gloves.

    I think it'll be ****in fascinating to watch like, for all it's a cash in and likely a bit of a farce.
