Conor McGregor is currently in his prime and is undefeated in his 50 fights so far while Floyd would be coming out of retirement looking to extend his run of being undefeated in his 49 games so far. The match would be leaning towards favouring Mayweather as it would be a boxing match as opposed to the mixed martial arts that Conor is famous for. So what are the key information to know ahead of the showdown?What date is the fight and at what time?
The fight is happening on Saturday 26 August. While the times haven’t been announced, it will certainly be a late night or very early start for viewers in Nigeria, so expect to be up well into Sunday 27 August.
Where is the fight taking place?
The bout will be housed in the T-Mobile arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. The venue has held major fights in the past.
What are the rules of the fight?
The fight will be held under boxing rules, presenting a huge challenge for mixed martial artists McGregor as he faces off against one of the greatest defensive boxers in history. Adding to McGregor’s challenge, the fighters will be using 10-ounce boxing gloves instead of the smaller UFC gloves and he will not be allowed to use the leg kicks or takedowns that are used in mixed martial arts.
What Is The Prediction?
Contrary to popular belief, this fight shouldn’t be one that is over in the first few rounds, but for it to go the distance would take a miracle. Mayweather shouldn’t have a very hard time controlling the match and taking the victory, but McGregor has never been someone to just throw in the towel and let someone beat him up. Mayweather should be able to wear McGregor down by the middle rounds and knock him out totally by the 9th round.
