West Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yes Taylor was very impressive, made OD look amateurish at times with his superior boxing skills. Also what do we make of Anthony Yarde? Looks a terrific prospect to me in the light heavyweight division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yarde certainly carries power but it is hard to gauge where he is until he fights someone who is going to push him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but just his poise and explosiveness catches the eye. Definitely one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjaacckk91 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Has there been much(or any) promotion of the world boxing super series over here? I haven't seen any yet, but seeing as super middleweight has groves and Smith(Hearn?) and possibly eubank and to a lesser extent Cox who I think is with Hearn as well I expected to hear a bit more and have a bit more hype. Have I just managed to miss it all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted July 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2017 16 minutes ago, Demitri_C said: What bellend would pay that ? Same bellends that will pay this: Quote Dana White warned us ahead of time ... and now it has been confirmed. The pay-per-view (PPV) price for the upcoming super fight between Floyd Mayweather and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight champion Conor McGregor -- which is scheduled to go down inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Aug. 26, 2017 — has been revealed. And it isn’t cheap. USA TODAY Sports has the details: The standard definition purchase of the Aug. 26 fight from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will set you back $89.95, with the high-definition version costing $99.95. 100 bucks for, whats essentially an exhibition-match.

Can you just imagine if it went the way the wider boxing world are predicting it to go. Knockout within a few rounds and Conor not landing a glove "Hi, can I get a refun.... hello? Are you still there?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 11, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just now, Demitri_C said: If mcgregor knocked him out first round, i bet you would get silly odds on that 40/1. In fact he's mostly 40s for each of the first 7 rounds. It then goes up from there. The longer it goes on, the more Floyd's intelligence will figure Conor out. So if Conor has ANY chance of knocking him out, it'll be in the early rounds while he's still relatively unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I just managed to miss it all? Not really kicked off the hype yet, starts in September I think. The super-middleweight line up isn't that good tbh, the Cruiserweight line up however is top class, can't wait for it.

villa4europe Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Watched the highlights, something jumped out for me straight away "dance for me boy" calling a black man "boy" has a racial connotation to it, I thought mayweather was going to go for him but he should "dance for me son" a few seconds later and mayweather strutted away, he'll get stick for it in America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 McGregor has the look of a man there to pick up a pay cheque. From the UFC conferences I've seen I've always been took back by the belief he has in himself, he doesn't appear to have the same confidence, and rightly so.

I dont know mate i thought he looked pretty confident to me. Mayweather didnt look his normal self to me. He said afterwards he thinks he is a alot slower than what he use to be. But i think thats just a act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) I'm sure there was any racial malice from McGregor when he said dance for me boy, it was clear why he said it, Mayweather was doing some moves and Conor naturally responded. Mayweather Snr confirms himself there was no racial connotations felt from the comment Edited July 12, 2017 by supermon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press conference was different to what he's used to. I'd imagine he'll come into his own as they go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
