Floyd TKO's him anytime he wants. Only x-factor is him deciding between no risk at all and very little risk. These videos, though, are part of Conor's disinformation campaign, they're just better masked than the other **** out there. No way these guys are his real sparring partners.

Perhaps the least known of McGregor’s sparring partners is local fighter Jay Byrne. He’s a 30-year-old soccer player, who also doubles as a manager and pro-boxer.

Count me in the conspiracy camp.

Do you think if he was taking this seriously he'd still be in Dublin and not have moved his camp to the US? That he'd still be sticking with Owen Roddy as his boxing coach? That he'd still be playing touch butt with Ido as part of his regime?

I absolutely think Floyd is going to win but you can hardly judge him by Conor coaches. He has **** coaches by mma standards and dethroned two champions.

Looks like Nick Diaz is gonna get suspended against by USADA for failing to disclose his location 3 times.

They don't test for weed out of competition, so this is just Nick being Nick.

His fighting days are over, maybe 1-2 superfights down the road, but in general I guess that is it.

Isn't this poll unusually even? The big consensus appears to be that if JBS Cormier happens it will go the distance.

Pacquiao-Horn on ESPN tonight. Horn is as big an underdog as McGregor, despite actually being an elite boxer :/

Horn doing much better than the odds. Pretty fun fight going in to the 7th round.

what a joke.. 117-111? 115-113 is almost impossible, but 117?

I don't watch enough boxing to be able to score fights but I do feel like a lot of the ESPN commentary was very biased towards Manny. You could tell that Tim Bradley was wanting to give much more praise to Horn but Teddy was relentless in his dismissal of Horn and his praise of Manny.

Good on Conor for getting such a payday for the last boxing match anyone ever watches.

RIP boxing, you sucked.

Proof that Conor can do it?

I remember when Tsonga beat Nadal with some questionable officiating and the next month Zlatan smashed Federer in straight sets.

Pacman might have deserved a close decision, but nobody is arguing that he looked really old and bad.

He didn't deserve a close decision, per Compubox, he outlanded Horn in 11 of 12 rounds. He won convincingly and for the 2nd time in the later parts of his career, he was robbed in hilariously obvious fashion.

Yeah, he looked older and slower, but he still did more than enough to win the fight (he was 2 punches away from doubling Horn in landed punches).

If your concern is age, the takeaway should be: even at an advanced age, and elite boxer is still able to thoroughly out land his opponent.

This does not look like it should be a close decision.

Feels like the UFC should have a Fight Night card today.

In fairness, it wasn't close. The two 115-113 cards make it sound close, but the 117-111 is pretty far from close.
