There are things about Conor McGregor I can appreciate. I like his fighting style and his showmanship(though it can get a bit obnoxious)...but his fans are crazy delusional(and racist). I can't tell if Conor is really that delusional and has no idea what he's gotten himself into, or if he just wants the money and doesn't mind losing(or if he really has some secret weapon)...'cause I don't think's he's dumb. Has he really bought into all the great white hype undertones of this whole circus?
Conor is an amazing striker. I've said before that the way he moves(his timing, how loose/fluid he appears, his swagger) reminds me of Ali...as if everything is in slow motion for him, and he can easily anticipate things. But, being a great mma striker means nothing. John Wall(Wizards point guard) is probably the fastest guy in the nba...his speed is ridiculous. But I once watched a video of him challenging a professional sprinter and he got beat pretty bad. And it was almost shocking to see...expected, yet shocking. Because of course you expect a professional sprinter to destroy a non-pro, but it really puts their speed/expertise into perspective to see it play out. A lot of people are going to be shocked tonight...either way: 'cause if Conor gets a huge lucky punch in(or somehow has some secret weapon and manages to outbox Floyd) and wins, people will be shocked...but more likely Conor's fans(and the whole country of Ireland) are going to have a newfound respect for boxing when it's all over.
