His record is 24-3 - but has never boxed before - but in the MMA he KO's many while standing because he's got awesome standing/punching skills.
Mayweather is a HUGE favorite for the fight, obviously. I still think McGregor makes a bit of a fight of it though. I'm not sure Mayweather can KO him, as Conor is a tough SOB. But I don't think Conor can do anything either, and Mayweather outpoints him easily.
I 'think' if we do so any type of KO it will be Conor getting lucky. Or maybe a TKO of some sort because Conor gets flustered and then kicks Floyd in his face!
If it's a boxing match and McGregor can't box, he's just a target. Since he does MMA, I assume he can box some. The sporting verson of jiu-jitso is ju-do, and a grappling art.
I'd let Mayweather kick my ass for that payday. He can always then saw it was a boxing match so he can keep his street creds.
