There seems to be quite a few mma fans who think that McGregor somehow may have a chance. They probably just don’t realise just how good floyd is. McGregor will not land a single decent punch on floyd. McGregor wouldn’t stand a chance with a decent pro boxer, trying to connect let alone knock out, which is undoubtedly what he will try to do, with quite possibly the best boxer there has ever been, will be nigh on impossible.
I really don’t have a dog in this fight, I haven’t seen a boxing match in year and never seen an MMA fight but the spectacle has drawn me in.
Some of the pundits are a bit cagey about it, just because it’s so unusual – but, as I understand it if you take emotional attachment out of it, it’s a bit like this?
The Miami Dolphins have been trying to start a ‘beef’ with Toulouse Rugby Club for years, “we’re the best players with an oval ball ever.” They say, for 2 years Toulouse ignore them. Finally having enough they say, okay then – we’ll put on a match – but you have to come to France and you have to play rugby, it’s a very different game to American Football so you can’t use have the skills you’ve learned in your career.
All the time the Dolphins are gobbing off about their chances the tickets are sold out and it’s making millions on TV.
The actual experts are saying:
The NFL team is actually known for being fairly poor, even by the standards of other NFL teams of running with the ball, only passing backwards and generally the business of you-known, playing rugby, where are Toulouse are some of the best to ever play the game – the diehard Dolphins fans just shout yee haw and say they’re going to win.
The NFL team is used to short periods of explosive action, punctuated by hours of beer adverts and girls dancing with pom-poms, in contrast the game of Rugby has much longer periods of action and is actually in play for a lot longer, again the Dolphins fans cheers their team is going to win.
The NFL team has a lower average age, as most of their players are straight out of collage – the Dolphins fans say “see, we told you they’d win”.
So yeah, they’ve got a chance, they’re very good at games involving running about with and kicking a oval ball, so to the diehard fans they’re as good at Rugby, experts say that if the Dolphins had convinced Toulouse to play American Football, they’d win easily, but they didn’t.
