Floyd Mayweather is looking on POINT at his recent workout. He is a physical marvel and at age 40. I am his age and I can barely get down the stairs some mornings.
Even without a bout agreement for the proposed fight in August, Mayweather continues to train hard. His work ethic is off the charts. I live in Vegas and I know he will just get up at 10:00 pm, run 5 miles and head to his gym to train...and he just trained during the day.
His gym interesting enough is tucked away behind a strip center in Chinatown. I accidentally stumbled across it one time and was shocked. I was like "Damn that is Floyd's Gym". I was looking to get some Vietnamese food at a place called Pho Kim Long and missed it so I had to turn around and go behind these stores. And THERE IT WAS. Sure as shit where these stores keep their dumpsters is Floyd's Gym...right next to Alcoholics Anonymous. lol. Anyhow I am sure it is hidden for a reason and you can not argue against its success.
Conor McGregor is training with Ido Portal, the guy famous for training techniques like "Touch Butt In The Park" and "Pool Noodle Sparring". Now Ido's strategy to get Conor ready for Mayweather is ummm THROWING PLAYING CARDS at him.
Now compare that to Floyd's training. He looks RIPPED!
How insane is that, accidentally finding Mayweather's gym.
I'll go ahead and say it... It's just a money fight, hope it's a good one.
Yeah dude it was pretty cool. I should have barged my way in and in my best "Danger" from Million Dollar Baby impression yelp out " I likes to become the welterweight champion of the world. And I challenge Floyd Money Mayweather to fight me for the welterweight championship of the whole world".
Lol! That's some funny shit.
Forgot about that movie, it's a good one.
He needs to get fitter.
Does touching butt offend you?
Just asskin. 😜 Aloha!
LoL!
hahaha I guess it would depend who it was. A Wahine no...but I might be a bit uncomfortable if it was a Samoan war chief.
I have a question why are we having this fight it doesn't make any sense a professional boxer who is the best in the world fighting against an alternate fighter McGregor is out of his league. Mayweather is in his Element and you know Mayweather is not going to lose his 50th fight
There are $100 Million reasons for this. =)
Interesting I'm sure everybody remembers when Mayweather fought Manny Pacquiao you know how that turned out. I know there are no good fighters for Mayweather so this is a publicity stunt I'm sure he's going to come up on top like he always does
hahaha....there were $300 million reason for Floyd to do that fight. It's just a Money Grab at this point in his career...and you know dude. I don't blame him. If consumers are willing to pay for it he may as well do it. I'm gonna buy it. lol
It is firstly a BIG show then a fight , so I dont really expect them to be really focused on preparing to knock down the opponent ASAP. No doubt that those are great fighters but we should consider that they are both great entertainers too. Hopefully it will be a good fight show
Agreed. In today's world you have to be both. A great entertainer and then have talent if you want to make the big money.
I am professional karate athlete (olympic karate ) and I can say that karate is not really in spotlight so there is no much money in it and it means that a champions are a fighters with pure skill and not entertainers
oh man have you ever heard of Steven "Wonderboy" Thompson? His is a UFC fighter...but is a world karate champion. His last 2 fights were for the UFC title but he came up short. A draw and a split decision. But his discipline in Karate prevents him from showboating or being disrespectful to his opponents. Despite that he is a fan favorite. One of the few guys that is respected for who he is and his skill set. He is the ONLY fighter in the UFC with that high level Karate skill set.
I just watched hus highlights and was really amazed. That punch-kick combos are awsome. I dont think he was WKF karate athlete (olympic karate) but it is obvious that he is great karateka
I am actually excited about this fight. I have been a boxing fan since I was a kid. do I think floyd is going to win. Yeah. he will probably make it a boring fight like all his fights and win easy. would I bet money on floyd. no, i am always for the underdog. every mayweather fight I always wanna see someone lay some leather on him and make him earn his millions. he has been perfect in his last few. I just hope mc is has enough wild technique to hurt him once or twice to make it exciting.
Yeah me too! Looking forward to this fight. And I agree McGregor is going to have to do something weird and unexpected and his trainer said as much. I think they know they can not win a boxing match. Some crazy antics and weird punches from odd angles is what I expect from Conor the first 3 rounds before he tires. I think Conor will fatigue greatly in the latter rounds and Mayweather who has pillow hands and can not knock anyone out will start laying the leather on McGregor and win by TKO.
wow... floyd by tko. Man. I never thought about Mc gassing. Well he did gas in the diaz fight pretty quick. he even admitted that he was using too much 'arm' in that fight. I think you could be right. this is why i think the fight will be interesting. i don't know. I keep going back. we have seen how heavy/explosive MC hands are. he's young, hungry, got somthing to prove.
people always counted him out and he just crushes guys faces. now i can't wait.
