McGregor vs. Mayweather, August 26

[Jimbo]

First off, anything could happen, but IMO Mayweather is going to smoke McGregor. This will be a pure boxing match under strictly enforced boxing rules. There is nothing McGregor can do in this match that Mayweather hasn't already seen. I predict that Mayweather will win easily. I hope that McGregor surprises, but I highly doubt it. The potential is for a very boring, one-sided match in Mayweather's favor. And I say this as someone who likes Conor McGregor and strongly dislikes Floyd Mayweather.

This match is the equivalent of Mayweather going into a fight under strictly MMA rules. In such a case, McGregor would make short work of Mayweather. But under strict boxing rules, Mayweather is king of the match. McGregor has some boxing background, but has never had a pro boxing match in his life. Yes, he's bigger, stronger and a harder puncher than Mayweather. So were many of Mayweather's other opponents, who WERE world class pro boxers.
