Conor, or anyone else, is not going to hit harder with boxing gloves than they will with 4oz gloves and that is a fact. Conor will still have plenty of power but it won't be the same as with 4oz gloves and everyone, including Conor, knows that.

Conor probably won't win....but I guarantee you if one of his major punches connects Mayweather will sleep.....a punchers chance is all he has.

I did.....you obviously didn't watch it.....It validated my responses. The Glove distributed that force to a larger portion of the face than the MMA glove and its power was negligible at best.

How? Please explain.

In terms of force produced: bare knuckle > MMA gloves > boxing gloves

More power and less cushion between the weapon and target. I never thought I'd see the day that someone argued that someone has more KO power with boxing gloves than MMA gloves. MSB never fails.

Even if you get a clean shot on Mayweather, which almost no one ever does, one shot isn't going to put Mayweather to sleep. You'll get him on the side of the head or the cheek, never the chin. Those aren't knockout blows.

Jesus.....you are obtuse....The whole point of the video you posted explained why.....in terms of lbs of pressure that did occur at a singular location.......

The boxing glove makes the fist almost twice as big.....its a blunt object......the MMA glove isn't.....

No possible way you watched that video.

You can lead a horse to knowledge but you can't make him drink.

Mayweather will able to pick and choose what round he knocks McGregor out in. McGregor is completely out of his league here. This is going to be a circus comparable to a Kimbo Slice vs Shamrock fight.

Its fricking science



Yes it is science and you are wrong, there is even a sports science which shows you get more force with MMA gloves which is more reputable than your link. Not only do you get more force from MMA gloves but since they are smaller that force is more targeted, which means the impact isn't spread out over a larger area and the damage will be much worse. If that isn't enough why don't you just listen to every boxing and mma expert on the issue...or better yet go spar with each and see which you would rather be hit with?

Post your betting slip before the fight if it is free money

Let me guess, you knew Shamrock would win before because he was the MMA fighter?

Post a betting slip if you are so sure...unless you don't like free money.

It is easy money. McGregor has no chance here. He will be truly embarrassed. Any current boxer ranked in the top 15 of his weigh class would destroy and out class Connor. Much less the greatest boxer of all time. Dana White is going to do a lot of face palming this fight. Connor has no chance here.

Let me put in terms you can understand. Connor has just as much chance of beating Mayweather in a boxing match as Mayweather does of submitting Demian Maia in a MMA match. Those odds are basically identically.

People can't even post an opinion on here without having to put money on it
