I just heard on ESPN that Jones failed his drug test before the DC fight. It's all over the internet now. Dana White acknowledged it.
What the fuck?

How is Conor Mcgregor going to beat Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match?

No one is going to fight Floyd like Conor in Floyd's life, ever. He's going to taunt him. He's going to make Floyd come for him. Left hand. Welcome to a fight.

It can happen, believe.

Think it was the post fight one, he passed the 2 pre fight, but i may be wrong. Either way, he's done.

I don't see it. Conor is a great fighter but it's pretty obvious what his motivation is here. No cage fighter has ever made the kind of money he's making for this fight. It's next level huge. Even if he loses ( when ) he can't lose.
The drop to 8oz gloves doesn't even help him, in my opinion. He can try to utilize the clinch and his size/ strength advantage to possibly tire Mayweather out and punch off the breaks, but we've seen Conor gas in fights and Floyd went the distance routinely. Floyd frustrated the best boxers in the world for years.
Conor can do some things, but unfortunately it'll be about what he can't do. He can't fight Floyd. He has to box him. He can Karate Kid pose and taunt and do cartwheels and lay on the ground in his gaurd if he wants, but he still has to outbox Floyd Mayweather to win this fight and I don't think that's possible.

Conor is just going to hope and pray he gets a lucky left, which I don't think he will

I also don't think he'll make it 12 rounds. He got gassed against Diaz when he lost and I think he's going to be in over his head when Mayweather plays around with him for the first few rounds. He's not very good at all, but Mayweather is old and both of them just want to get paid, so we'll see. I expect the fight to suck, but will be fun to watch.

Have you ever watched Conor fight? He doesn't "hope and pray" for anything. He works his fucking ass off. I wish people would give him more credit. Doesnt' matter if he wins this or not, the man works his ASS OFF for this. He has more drive and ambition than any fighter I've ever seen aside from the Diaz brothers who pissed theirs away with their shit attitudes. McGregor is a genius, he knows how to use his personality to get what he wants. His first "big money fight" in the UFC was $60,000. Now he's in the super fight of the century and he's going to clear at least 50 mil, right? (i really don't know the figures)

And no, there's NO FUCKING WAY this fight is going 12 rounds. No fucking way in hell heaven or Earth. That's a long fucking time.

I don't expect Conor to win this boxing match, but I do expect him to hit floyd, hard. I expect him to taunt him, i expect him to make Mayweather make at least 1 mistake he's never made in a fight before. I expect things, and I can't wait.
