McGregor looking in unreal shape for Poirier 2

Kattar just took a terrible beating, fight should have been stopped in round 4.

Here's hoping Conor gets wrecked next weekend.

Good fight

That was a damaging fight for Kattar, took an absolute thrashing.

How do you see the McGregor fight going?

Who knows. McGregor fights so infrequently, and we've only seen him dominate or get dominated recently, so it's hard to say how good he actually is.

If I had to bet, I'd go ... Poirer by late TKO? We know he can go a strong 5 rounds while Conor tends to fade past 3. Really not too confident in that pick, though.

Totally agree, losing to Khabib in a one sided fight was expected, Cowboy was coming off of two stoppage losses and always shits the bed in his biggest fights. The longer the fight goes the more it should favour Poirer. The biggest thing going against McGregor is that there is a fairly straight forward blueprint to beat him. Make him work for the first couple of rounds, stay away from his left hand and then finish him in the last 3.

Should have kept this thread in the OT.

Yeah, was leaning that way too. Defo not a confident pick.

I’m going for Hooker over Chandler as well

Helps with the time scheduling, they know the fights will go all 3 rounds

pay them less?

in boxing they are cheap card filler

can add stuff like '3 world title fights!' , just dont tell anyone it's all ladies lol

I wondered what happened to this thread

Was kinda sad to hear Paul Vaerlens got the rona and passed a few days ago.

Missed Holloway/Katter. Knew neither guy would back down.
