He is 5-0 in MMA title fights though. He is a badass, no doubt, but Money May is ten times the badass. 49-0, never even been knocked down to the canvas and has defeated 26 world champions.
Max is wrong. Bare knuckle favours Conor for 2 reasons. 1) Conor has learned how to punch with little padding without breaking his hands. The big gloves Floyd and other boxers use allow them to not be so precise with how the fist lands. Floyd would break his hands if he fought someone bare knuckle. 2) Floyd has learned how to defend himself with big gloves. Not having any gloves to block punches would take away a lot of his defense. Bare knuckle boxing match? Mcgregor all day
19messi33 underdog is a betting term. You don't look at records when you're talking about underdog status, you look at the odds. He started out as 9/1, so he obviously isn't the biggest underdog. With that being said, he is going to get sparked out.
I don't understand how Kellerman says glove size means nothing. According to Kellerman Conor would have the same chance with 4oz MMA gloves as he does 10oz boxing gloves.
As a boxing analyst, you'd think that Max would realize Floyd uses his gloves in addition to his shoulder rolls and movement to block/deflect/evade punches. I agree that Conor has little shot either way, but to say that lighter gloves is better for Floyd is ignorant. With lighter gloves Floyd has a better chance of knocking out Conor, certainly, but Conor's actual percentage chance of winning increases as his offence also becomes much more dangerous. Smaller gloves = more unpredictable = Conor's actual chance of winning increasing
Jon jones does it too, you going to call jon jones something? Stfu, you just a dummy commenting on youtube. You'd piss your little 10 year old pants if mcgregor was in front of you.
I think he's missing the meaning of the word favor. Everything doesn't favor Mayweather. Favoring McGregor just means it's a small advantage for him in that area.
I think the glove size helps Conor, only because landing a big shot is his only shot....so the smaller the glove, the better for him. But people are going to be on social media whining once they see they paid 99 dollars to watch Floyd spar.
The only good thing about this fight is that the swimming pool I'm building is going to get filled with McGregor fanboys' tears at the end of the month.
With 4oz gloves it's no longer boxing. It's a different sport even with boxing rules. It definitely favors Conor. Floyd is the most technical BOXER of all time. But going from 10oz gloves to 4oz gloves is the same as keeping glove size and adding kicks
Soo Mayweather beats McGregor in a bare knuckle fight??? Kellerman is delirious. It's a fact that Mayweather has brittle hands and the Philly shell defense is only effective with larger ounce gloves. That being said, Mayweather will win by boring decision and viewers will feel robbed of $100.
I agree with you about slipping being more important than blocking in a bare knuckle fight and Floyd's a master of dodging punches. But you can't argue that boxing gloves don't help with blocking punches, especially in the Philly shell defense where all you've got is one hand and your shoulder to protect your head.
McGregor knows he's gonna lose this fight from the very start.. but he already won with the boatload of cash he's gonna get from this fight, which was his ONLY objective + the exposure to non-MMA audience.
Conor McTrumper it's hyping up the fight. More people involved, more money involved, that's how it works. They both have big personalities, it's great commercially
Max does know boxing, but to say that Conor can't catch Floyd once. That sounds.....not right. Also I hope mcgregor moves and holds his arms up like he did in the UFC. He can really throw Floyd off that way.
All you people saying that Connor is going to win must have down-syndrome or something I'm a long time Connor fan, but he's going to schooled... Mayweather is a world class boxer, Connor is a street fight If you're saying Connor is going to destroy Floyd, you probably have no idea how Floyds boxes The only way Connor is going to win is if he gets a lucky punch and knocks Floyd out within 5 rounds. But I highly doubt that he will even get a clean punch in due to Mayweather's movements. And even if Connor does land a punch it wouldn't knock Floyd out. He's been hit by way harder punches in his time. Also, Connor's retraction speed is way too slow and Floyd will just out counter punch him out anyway. And I know you Connor fans are probably thinking, nah Connor's been training for boxing. Connor has been training for just over a month, Floyd has been doing this for over 20 years. Plus if the fight goes past 5 rounds it's over anyway because Connor is never going to win on points, and his not going to have enough energy left to even get a lucky KO punch.
They forget something important though: Floyd WAS the greatest boxer, he is retired for 2 years and is 40 years old. With that been said he isn't the Floyd everyone knew before.
Don't think so mate, every fighter and athlete I know after retirement started drinking, eating shit and living bad lifes. Floyd just didn't have a lot of it because he was only 2 years out, but still for me this is a lot of time. If you ever trained in a combato sport you know that a week without training and your cardio, awareness and instinct is dropping quite visibly.
Liuon he never stopped training. The boxing world all say the same thing about Mayweather ,he trains today like he's a broke hungry up and coming amateur. Show me proof of let himself get lazy. And I doubt you will see him with alcohol
To clear this out I really believe that Floyd is much more experience and has better technique at boxing, but when you put the factors of condition, age, retirement and the hunger of Conor, I wouldn't really say that it is 0 chance for Conor. It is stupid to predict with such certainty a fight, given these factors.
I don't understand the grammar my freind reply to me when you can actually write english that makes sense then we'll see who's the idiot and its funny you calling me a warmonger when you're the one starting the hate
If you really listen and pay attention SAS basically agreed with Max then brought up a random "point" that Connor can knock him out if he hits him, but they both agree he wont hit him.....and they argue it...
Gloves largely protect the fists (hands) more than protect the target. If your whole sport is punching then by third round you probably can't punch anymore without gloves. Your own fists might be broken or at least really bruised. In MMA you need those MMA gloves so you can grab also you don't punch as much so your fists are Ok for punching by the 3rd or 5th round.
best bet is for Floyd to fake an injury like Rdo did pretending he hurt his foot. Dunno who these Floyd dkriders are in this video but they need a serious dose of reality
As a Boxing purist, I'm glad this exhibition will happen because it puts a spotlight on Boxing. MMA fans will learn that there truly is a science behind it. And it can be applied to all forms of combat. Boxing is the foundation and a martial art that all fighters should possess. Mcgregor will show his fans that it's not just throwing hands.
This is HBO talking not Max Kellerman. I get it. They write his checks. The more Max bashes this fight, the better chance GGG vs Canelo does good on PPV. This is HBO vs Showtime.
The real reason for the lighter gloves is McGregor is hoping that Mayweather is going to hurt his hands early in the fight and that's going to give him a chance that's what I think
Can someone tell me why the media never promotes the fact that this guy went from welfare in Ireland four years ago to fighting one of the greatest boxers of all time for $100 million in America while predicting the outcome of nearly every fight and every step of his career in between as a complete underdog? Instead the narrative is that America is in some sort of dark age because of the guy we have in office. As if this is no longer a place where less fortunate people can prosper. Why is that?
The only Fighters that have ever even come close to beating Mayweather were pressure Fighters. By that I'm saying they were aggressive Fighters that press the fight. If y'all have ever actually watched McGregor he's not a pressure fighter he's a counter puncher. problem is no counter-puncher has ever done worth a damn versus Floyd, and floyds way better at it than he is, and way faster than he is. Biggest problem I see for McGregor is that not only is he fighting one of the best fighters ever, he's going to have to fight a completely different fight than he normally does. not just MMA to boxing, but counter-puncher to attacker stalker. I don't really see a good result for McGregor. What would make it worth watching is after about two rounds of getting his ass handed to him McGregor comes out of a clinch with a back heel kick to the side of Mayweather's head knocking him out. Of course that will disqualify and he will lose but at least he will have accomplished something and he'll feel better about himself you know he will.
White guy- Mayweather will win.
Black guy- Mcgregor will lose!
White guy- you're wrong.
Black guy- your'e wrong!
Does everyone not have common sense or something? EVERYTHING about this BOXING MATCH favors the BOXER 😂😂😂😂
Conor "Triple O" Mcgregor, (0-0-0) 0 MMA title defenses, 0-0 boxing record.
He is 5-0 in MMA title fights though. He is a badass, no doubt, but Money May is ten times the badass. 49-0, never even been knocked down to the canvas and has defeated 26 world champions.
Literally Steven a said "there's no such thing as a lucky punch then around 2 mins later he says "we've all seen a lucky punch"
Why does Molly always have to interrupt Stephen and Max... We're not here for you smfh Just officiate let the guys debate
Talha Salman I am so back off
Steven Diaz why you so misogynistic
Shut up, molly hardly speaks anyways and regulates the show superbly and always has something good to say
Lorcan Rees if it was a ripped hot male that kept interrupting he can do the same as well
Steven Diaz then why do you have to bring it up at all? She does a great job. No need to make a comment like that.
Max is wrong. Bare knuckle favours Conor for 2 reasons. 1) Conor has learned how to punch with little padding without breaking his hands. The big gloves Floyd and other boxers use allow them to not be so precise with how the fist lands.

Bare knuckle boxing match? Mcgregor all day
Love when mcgregor stans say if he wins it will be the biggest underdog story ever even though they constantly say mcgregor will KO Mayweather
Connor that's the only way he will win. The judges are corrupt
Connor yeah it wont happen though 50-0
19messi33 underdog is a betting term. You don't look at records when you're talking about underdog status, you look at the odds. He started out as 9/1, so he obviously isn't the biggest underdog. With that being said, he is going to get sparked out.
Red Bull Anand crickets...guess he didn't want to hear ur facts bro...😂😂😂😂
I don't understand how Kellerman says glove size means nothing. According to Kellerman Conor would have the same chance with 4oz MMA gloves as he does 10oz boxing gloves.
Max Kellerman Speaks faxxxxx
englishjames007 englishjames007 Black talk? Fuck u talking about
Connor lol no he doesn't he guarantees conor won't land 1 punch on floyd. Lol that's not facts that stupidity.
Glenn Lea exactly anything is possible and anything can happen.
yes about what he knows...but he dont know everything about mcgregor and mma moves....no?? idiots all of you....its crazy
Glenn Lea you didn't watch the video " He might hit him on the elbows or on the arms ", but he will not hit Mayweather's chin
As a boxing analyst, you'd think that Max would realize Floyd uses his gloves in addition to his shoulder rolls and movement to block/deflect/evade punches. I agree that Conor has little shot either way, but to say that lighter gloves is better for Floyd is ignorant. With lighter gloves Floyd has a better chance of knocking out Conor, certainly, but Conor's actual percentage chance of winning increases as his offence also becomes much more dangerous. Smaller gloves = more unpredictable = Conor's actual chance of winning increasing
Remember when McGregor literally turned his back and ran from Nate Diaz? 😂
DAWG he didn't run he was catching his breath.. most mms fighters do it and have to breathe hello....
Jon jones does it too, you going to call jon jones something? Stfu, you just a dummy commenting on youtube. You'd piss your little 10 year old pants if mcgregor was in front of you.
mickey boy looll little conor bitch here
I remember nate Diaz getting dropped 3 times though. Against a featherweight
HE RAN LIKE A BITCH! 😂😂😂
I think he's missing the meaning of the word favor. Everything doesn't favor Mayweather. Favoring McGregor just means it's a small advantage for him in that area.
Max really bringing me down to watch this fight LOL
I think the glove size helps Conor, only because landing a big shot is his only shot....so the smaller the glove, the better for him. But people are going to be on social media whining once they see they paid 99 dollars to watch Floyd spar.
The only good thing about this fight is that the swimming pool I'm building is going to get filled with McGregor fanboys' tears at the end of the month.
Sarcasm Smith best...comment...ever😁😂😂😂😁
Sarcasm Smith I'm stealing this comment for trolling purposes
B Martini lol go ahead.
With 4oz gloves it's no longer boxing. It's a different sport even with boxing rules. It definitely favors Conor. Floyd is the most technical BOXER of all time. But going from 10oz gloves to 4oz gloves is the same as keeping glove size and adding kicks

That being said, Mayweather will win by boring decision and viewers will feel robbed of $100.
If Mayweather cant finish a fight with a man whos never been in a ring, i dont think you can consider Mayweather the best of all time.
Lol whuttt

But you can't argue that boxing gloves don't help with blocking punches, especially in the Philly shell defense where all you've got is one hand and your shoulder to protect your head.
McGregor knows he's gonna lose this fight from the very start.. but he already won with the boatload of cash he's gonna get from this fight, which was his ONLY objective + the exposure to non-MMA audience.
Mayweather gonna run 12 rounds 😂
Didn't max start at the very beginning of all this that conor has a punchers chance?
Floyd fans are triggered. If it was going to be so easy for Floyd, then what are they so fired up about?
Conor McTrumper it's hyping up the fight. More people involved, more money involved, that's how it works. They both have big personalities, it's great commercially
Because Conor fanboys are annoying as fuck
TheRandomThings23 truth
Impossible for floyd not to get hit once. He's human not a robot. He will get tired or do a mistake.
50-0.
sometimes these commentators argue so much, even though they have never been in a fight or a boxing match
Max does know boxing, but to
say that Conor can't catch Floyd once. That sounds.....not right. Also I hope mcgregor moves and holds his arms up like he did in the UFC. He can really throw Floyd off that way.
Max has never competed a day in his life
3:03 Max is the best verbal boxing counterpuncher.
Everyone of you counting out Conner are going to be sorry when he knocks out Floyd
Staminate facts he strives in those situations
You'll be sorry when you realize how you stupid are for believing that 😂
Lol. I'm coming back to this comment on August 27th and saying how wrong you were.
ShaneFM Real fucking talk
THE TROOPER1223 lol right
Max talking boxing with Smith is like Einstein talking physics with Al from Home Improvement
BRITTLE HANDS
"It's like a chess master against an amateur." Spot on Kellerman.
All you people saying that Connor is going to win must have down-syndrome or something
I'm a long time Connor fan, but he's going to schooled...

Yoyo Gogo try 36 years
that was the most honest I've ever seen Max Kellerman. Props to him for keeping it real
They forget something important though: Floyd WAS the greatest boxer, he is retired for 2 years and is 40 years old. With that been said he isn't the Floyd everyone knew before.
Liuon Floyd is in great shape and has always taking excellent care of himself.
Don't think so mate, every fighter and athlete I know after retirement started drinking, eating shit and living bad lifes. Floyd just didn't have a lot of it because he was only 2 years out, but still for me this is a lot of time.

Liuon His age would only matter if he was fighting a legitimate contender
To clear this out I really believe that Floyd is much more experience and has better technique at boxing, but when you put the factors of condition, age, retirement and the hunger of Conor, I wouldn't really say that it is 0 chance for Conor. It is stupid to predict with such certainty a fight, given these factors.
"smaller gloves favor Floyd." i knew you were delusional but thats just too far.
Dislike
completely agree with Max
I don't understand the grammar my freind reply to me when you can actually write english that makes sense then we'll see who's the idiot and its funny you calling me a warmonger when you're the one starting the hate
englishjames007 englishjames007 stfu
When Stephen said he thinks Conor might cheat, I was dying 😂😂😅😅
Mcgregor fanboys in their feelings because facts trigger them LOL😆😆😆
Benjamin Franklin facts? Floyd got brittle hands
19messi33 Floyd Only Gettin Knocked l Down If Conor Clips Him Or If Floyd Lay Down To Be An Asshole & Give Conor A Round 😂
Knock him down? He's fought the best fighters in the world for the last 20 years & none of them knocked him down.. WTF do ppl get this stuff?
Benjamin Franklin what are the facts.. have Conor fought Floyd to back up this so call fact..
Benjamin Franklin hahaha yeah
If you really listen and pay attention SAS basically agreed with Max then brought up a random "point" that Connor can knock him out if he hits him, but they both agree he wont hit him.....and they argue it...
49-1

Floyd needs Conor to pay his taxes #ConorBless 49-1
Kobe Bryant Dude no Connor ain't touching Floyd
Kobe Bryant! Atrem bless
Kobe Bryant that's why LeBRon better than you.
Liangelo Ball! Kobe bryant made lebron famous
Kobe Bryant lol floyd has like 30x times money connor has
They just said yes to 8oz gloves
#50-0
*Floyd loses to Mcgregor by KO*
Kellerman: It was a lucky punch
best bet is for Floyd to fake an injury like Rdo did pretending he hurt his foot. Dunno who these Floyd dkriders are in this video but they need a serious dose of reality
Malcolm Hingstone You sir,DKSAB
As a Boxing purist, I'm glad this exhibition will happen because it puts a spotlight on Boxing. MMA fans will learn that there truly is a science behind it.

Rahul V you're so wrong
in what? Madden?
if you can explain how maybe idiots would believe you
Rahul V Wanna make a bet? lol
This is HBO talking not Max Kellerman. I get it. They write his checks. The more Max bashes this fight, the better chance GGG vs Canelo does good on PPV. This is HBO vs Showtime.
You're gonna eat your words.
It doesn't matter what size gloves you're wearing when you're punching thin air. 50-0
Floyd in 5
I got 45 seconds in and had to press pause because I couldn't hear shit due to all the laughing!
Bare knuckle.... bahahahahahahahahahah
Max's reaction if Mayweather got knocked out would be funnier than Rogan's reaction to Rousey getting KO'd by Holm
Steven A the type of dude to tell someone he's known LeBron for +40 years
Damn, what happens if Mcgregor just lays Floyd out....
I need to see a Skip Bayless v. Max Kellerman debate on this Floyd vs Conor fight
The real reason for the lighter gloves is McGregor is hoping that Mayweather is going to hurt his hands early in the fight and that's going to give him a chance that's what I think
Trying to debate max in boxing is like telling Stephen smith he doesnt know about the knicks
Dave Chapelle said it best "Right now as we speak Mayweather is probably training, Do you know what Conor is doing? Learning how to box"
Can someone tell me why the media never promotes the fact that this guy went from welfare in Ireland four years ago to fighting one of the greatest boxers of all time for $100 million in America while predicting the outcome of nearly every fight and every step of his career in between as a complete underdog? Instead the narrative is that America is in some sort of dark age because of the guy we have in office. As if this is no longer a place where less fortunate people can prosper. Why is that?
Max kills me "so your gonna see what happens"
Gloves are meant to protect your hands in a fight has nothing to do with power.
The most accurate striker in combat sports history vs the guy who runs all round 🤔
He's 40, old man goin down
Max Kellerman is clearly the type that doesn't even try anything new in bed.
damn max is killing stephen a smith from boxing to basketball.
I will be back in August 26th when the 40 year old is sleeping dead 💀
I'm so happy Max is back. I can watch this show again...
"if this was a real fight he'd be dead already" - Nate Diaz
I can't wait for this fight. I just hope it's an actual good fight that goes at least to 6 rounds
Stephen A swears he's the Max Kellerman of basketball lol.
UFC shouldn't use gloves.
Take the bet then Maxie boy. 100k from Schaub are waiting.
The only Fighters that have ever even come close to beating Mayweather were pressure Fighters. By that I'm saying they were aggressive Fighters that press the fight.

Lol, Kellerman called it. A rumor about zab judah knocking out floyd in a sparring session just surfaced.
Stephen A. Smith seems to be torn between starting a controversy for the sake of ratings and his actual beliefs that Conor has not chance.
i cant believe max kellerman is 43 years old. He looks 28.
Smaller gloves mean harder hit which means more chance of breaking his gaurd
Good thing Floyd agreed to fight w 4oz gloves and also in the octagon afterwards...
How can people say Floyd is better than Ali when he always gives himself an advantage in his fights?
Oh wow they let her talk
Boxing gloves vs MMA gloves, sport science - TH-cam
Floyd has the most underrated chin I've seen . he's taken tremendous shots vs good punchers and yes has been dazed but he never went down
You know Floyd is pissed that Max is giving away his plans to get more interest in this fight LMAO
max called it rumours of zab judah knocking him out. its a circus
The Maidana punch wasn't lucky it was a counter of Floyd's pull counter
To say he won't land a single punch is just an over exaggerated statement.
Point he made about floyd winning bare buckle is very subjective because much of floyds defence relies on his gloves fact
Max is the expert of experts for boxing
Matter of fact, lets not even use gloves. Bare knuckle fight with no rules and see who the real fighter is
IF FLOYD WAS DOWN ON HIS KNEES WITH HIS HANDS TIED BEHIND HIS BACK ID FAVOR FLOYD! - Maxx Kellerman
Max forgets this is combat sports, ANYTHING can happen.
Max is the first reaction I look forward to seeing when Conor drills Floyd into the canvas.
Q1:which rule are they fighting boxing or mma
Wonder how a Max and Skip debate would go 🤔
I love it when loud mouth non-athletes debate athletics...
He said "This is the guy he doesn't want to clutch with".....Let it go Steven A Smith
Ya do understand UFC isn't just kicking I seen street fights against boxers
I can't wait to see what Max says after Mayweather is Knocked out cold!
I actually think this changes landscape a Lil bit....
