"McGregor said, 'The only reason why this thing is fair is because we're playing by boxing rules. If it's a fight, I would fucking kill him.'" "(That's) 100% accurate, but he said something that no one's been able to say to Floyd - 'I will fuck you up!' - and Floyd's going to know that. At any moment, if Conor wanted to, he might just slide a little back and start kicking his face or kicking his legs out from under him, he wouldn't know what the fuck to do!"Mayweather may go in as a consummate professional and box the same way he's always boxed to secure the victory. However, McGregor is a real wildcard. Maybe the fact that a kick could be coming straight for his dome at any point will enter into Mayweather's mind. Maybe it will distract him just enough to upset his rhythm and let his guard down. Maybe this could be the x-factor in the fight.
"Do you think he knows how to block a wheel kick? He's going to get kicked in the back of the fucking head... The distance between punching and kicking is pretty substantial and Conor closes that distance in a really fast and really spectacular way. He comes at you with shit - front-kicks to the body, and you try to figure out where he's coming at you with shit. He's very unpredictable."Could Conor McGregor win? Maybe, but probably not.
