Lol at waterboy Byrne "beautiful work" while looking on with a serious look on his face, hilarious.

Well mostly his footwork, and how he's sitting (or not sitting) down on his punches. He's tapping them mostly, very little lat engagement or transfer force.

But like I said, most of this seems just for the cameras, fancy stances and flash stance switches and slip and rips etc.

Floyd was tapping the bag last night though.

I was hoping he'd work the pads with Roddy. That's usually when you see his best striking and movement.

How much?

How much is a kidney running these days?

His mate in the shades is a awful tool standing their.

It's a workout, not a bloody sparring session

I know that, that's what I was pointing out... But people were asking what's so bad about his form on the bags, just answering.

He cycles in gym shoes and his cycling partners are 40 y/o videographers and doctors. Or fat lads from his entourage out cyling in jeans. Not surprised he gasses so easily, his cardio routine is just a show to sell Macfast VHS tapes.

Mr.Nice Guy

Wow he looks gassed to hell. He tended to fade in the later rounds against Nate and this workout doesn't suggest improved cardio.

It's gone back in to 8/11, if it goes evens again I'm selling a kidney to raise capital to lump on it.

I get paid the salary on the 24th, half tempted to just throw it all on Floyd via KO/TKO...... if the fight is all above board it will happen fairly easily.

The doctor is a decent cyclist in fairness, but the others are a joke. Julian cruising on a mountain bike while the others are breaking their balls on 4 grand carbon road machines.

Ah he wasn't really... if you watch him on the maize bag the power he's putting into that without even having to sit down hard then compare it to what McGregor is doing is light and day imo.

That chap has a punchable face.

People on here judging his boxing ability by watching him punch a heavy bag are absolute tools. You'll see his ability when he is hitting the pads

Tigger

Three options I can see here
1 he's gonna do the 12 rounds as then do pads or sparring or something show his tank
2 this is is simply a ruse to give him a bigger punchers chance
3 I don't want to talk about 3

I've seen him hit pads, I've seen him spar CVH, I've seen him hitting bags, none of it inspires confidence.

Gamebred

Has anyone thought of the fact bar him nobody in his corner will ever have boxed a day in their life? forgot his odds being as short as one If he pulls a win here im putting this down as the greatest sporting achievement in history and by a distance

Sorry bud but I don't see it. I rewatched Floyd. He throws about 1 in 5-7 as an actual punch. The rest are literally taps. And the punches don't seem to be any harder than McGregors tonight. As for footwork, Floyd is mostly standing in the one spot when working the heavy bag.

Is there any word on what his corner is going to be? I assume Roddy is a cert but is Kavanagh actually going to be there too?

Gamebred

The hands went on the hips there after round 8 or whatever im on here (im 5 mins behind)

Same as usual for mma I believe.

Lukker-

His cutman is actually a trainer too afaik, not that he's training him, but it's something!

Don't see why he didn't bring Michael Conlan in at least.

EagererBeaver

A bit of switch hitting thrown in too.

Eyes Down Field

36 minutes of terrible work from McGregor.
