Conor McGregor’s arm-swinging workout mimicked in viral ‘challenge’
Word soon reached Conor McGregor as he prepares for his bout with Floyd Mayweather.
Boxing purists and they’re now few and far between, will gladly rank Mayweather’s work in the ring among the all-time pound-for-pound best fighters.
The contest takes place at the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds, which requires that both combatants use 10-ounce gloves.
Just throwing up the yearly tune, and for the month that’s in it, thought I’d do one on Conor McGregor, and the fight coming up against Mayweather.
Those suspicious became founded today as Sling announced they will indeed offer the highly anticipated bout as a pay per view event. On August 26, he can only use his fists which will be covered by eight-ounce gloves. They will fight under boxing rules, which will be enforced by Byrd, a veteran of many championship fights. Let me tell you what: I was there for all 12 rounds, and Paulie has said some insane things and bad things about me. “McGregor is the only fighter in UFC history to hold championship titles in two different divisions simultaneously, and is now the reigning UFC Lightweight division Champion”, the suit reads”. Notably, early on, both Jose Luis Castillo and Zab Judah gave Mayweather fits, although he made adjustments on the fly and earned the victory.
Mayweather is favored to get his first knockout in six years.
“The fight is not normal”, said commissioner Sandra Morgan. McGregor’s camp had asked for an global judge among the three.
McGregor likely wants the lighter gloves because he feels he is the stronger fighter and wants his punches to do more damage.
White spoke with the media on Tuesday and said he has nothing against Malignaggi personally but will throw right back if he gets some trash talk thrown his way.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission overruled their own regulations on Wednesday to allow the fighters to deviate from 10oz gloves which were previously mandatory for all bouts at 154lbs.
