AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
i wear a tinfloil hat when it comes to big time sporting events... his match with Jose Aldo really raised my eyebrow... my 2 cents this fight will be financially and strategically planned
Biggest cash grab in any professional fighting organization ever, good on them for organizing it and being the potentially top two highest paid fighters, but the way I see it, undercard will probably be more exciting, if Connor doesn't land anything significant within the first 2 rounds, it's gonna be an L in his book with lots of rounds of Mayweather playing to his strengths and out pointing his opponent,
if you're gonna pay to watch a fight go for the UFC 214, DC and Jones finally meeting again, Yoel Romero coming off of an 8 fight win streak with 6 of them being (T)KO and he's looking like a monster and Robert Whittaker coming off a 7 fight win streak with 4/7 being (T)KO, Damien Maia is finally getting his deserved chance at the belt, and those are just the main events, the undercard is stacked with great fights or if Boxing is your thing the Canelo v Golovkin fight is probably gonna be this years boxing fight of the year, Canelo is good and had had his fair shares of victories, but Golovkin is a whole new ballgame, I don't think Canelo has fought anyone as tough or vicious as Golovkin

I think anything can happen as well... but let's face it... Conor (SP?) is a good MMA fighter (putting it lightly)... putting him in a boxing match nullifies many of the things that make him great... while it is the type of environment Mayweather operates in all day every day for years.
I hope Conor takes it... it would be an embarrassment and major upset.
Conversely... if Floyd fought Conor in an MMA Match with MMA rules... he would get dstroyed.
Just my 2 cents. I wouldn't pay to see it... probably going all 27 rounds... LOL. But I am interested in the results.
The fight I really want to see is with modified rules for a stand up fight:
1. MMA Gloves
2. 5 five minute rounds
3. Holding and hitting is legal.
4. MMA Cage
But that will never happen, no way Mayweather would ever agree to it.
Anyway, I think it's funny that boxing purists are calling this fight a circus show. I was a boxing fan for 25 years before MMA came along, been a MMA fan since UFC-1 when me and some friends passed around the first UFC on VHS tape. (LOL) I quit watching boxing all together when MMA became more relevant and available. Never been a Mayweather fan, so I'm rooting for CM. Conner has the size, reach, age advantage and knockout power. I'm most curious about Conners game plan to keep Mayweather from running from him. If Conner's starts touching him it's going to be a short night for Floyd. I think what the purists are most afraid of with this fight, is that Floyd is going to get knocked out and further DE-legitimize the sport of boxing. I haven't been able to sit through 12 rounds of boxing in many years, but I'll certainly watch this one.
Yoel, Wittaker will probably be a greatest of all time type of legit fight... when theres hundreds upon hundreds of millions involved in a fight i just cant take it serious

The Whittaker and Romero fight had been a long time coming, both are coming off of top contender fights, Romeros devastating Flying Knee KO of former champ Chris Wiedman was a beautiful performance, as was Whittaker's Head-kick KO of Jacare. Needless to say I will be watching it

after his last fight.. unquestionable wittaker has what it takes to outsmart the mutant.. if i were betting id think Yoel is the best choice.. so much experience and mutant giftedness
lol the reem was so suprised by his own win.. that was robbery... Wittaker in my opinion displayed an incredible fight I.Q. yoel said he was trying to take that injured leg out and wittaker managed to keep it guarded and still take the last 3 rounds... i think they may have given him the win based slightly on his heart... Yoel could have easily won the split
