McGregor's best chance is an early head kick. He tries to box even a little and he will quickly learn how viscous the pros can hit.

I don't see all this power in any of Floyd's fights, a fast jab and running yes...but to dismantle Conor won't happen in the first 5-6 rounds, after CMG gasses who knows smile

That's the truth there, I remember loving Saturday afternoon fights on the big 3 channels...the biggest fights the times had to offer.
