UFC or Boxing ?

[steelfingers]

Mayweather and Pacquiao was the last straw. They milked that thing until Pacquiao was too far down the road.
Frazier and Ali didn't dodge each other. Hell they fought 3 times at the top of their games.
Mayweather is a punk with skill, talent and money. Soon he'll just be a punk.

I expect McGregor to lose a very boring fight to Mayweather who is a defensive genius (ducks and covers the whole fight just trying to score points). If McGregor can sneak that one punch in though, boxing might be done.

Boxing rules only?

It would have to be. MMA fight/MMA rules/MMA win. Boxing match/Boxing rules/Boxer wins.

I'd have to give it to mayweather according to that article, but if it were full MMA, McGregor would wipe him off the floor, and use him for a mop.

Agreed

Yep. They're not even using MMA gloves. McGregor has almost no chance but he's got a chance. They'll both be winners but would love to see Mayweather end his career with a "L."

 

[steelfingers]

MMA fighters are trained to get busy and blooded. Boxers look for openings to spend their power. Punch move, punch slide, jab and follow. Weight of the gloves and size of the ring favor the fighter that knows how to use them to his advantage. An MMA guy, using 12 oz gloves, will have to adapt quickly.
I helped a guy that was training some ham and egger's. These guys were on the bottom rung, being taught by a former middleweight. That was the old Navy style. Go in hard and take a lot of hits to get a punch inside.
Holding a light bag with a kid training on his uppercuts and made the mistake of getting my head behind the bag instead of over my shoulder. Damn near knocked me out.
Trained boxers know how to get power behind punches, even short ones.
Boxing rules...boxer wins. Boxing rules Mayweather taps out or is knocked out.
Didn't read the rules for the bout but I bet they're bent to Mayweather to win.
Just another fixed match.
