Yes. Then he suddenly appears on Sky and he's trying to sell us the upset..

Froch at it as well.

You might want to watch that Fight Hub interview again.

The very first words, and what Wayne repeats over and over in that interview is "He (Conor) has a shot," that Floyd may "get old" and that Conor us "the unknown."

Now, I haven't seen the Sky stuff, so I don't know what he said there, but to say he was writing Conor off, then flipfloped his opinion is just incorrect.

Chris Eubank is from both the past and the future. And he he's also in the matrix.

Nah if McGregor were to ever walk out to heavy music it'd have to be Empire Falls by Primordial. Perfectly Irish and perfect sing-along chorus for a fight.

Was absolutely buzzing watching UFC 189 when Rory McDonald walked out to Tool.

I get you.

Just thought it was a bit of a swing from the first interview till the Sky one...

It's in stark contrast to the noises Roddy and Kavanagh have been making about what they've seen in sparring.

What else can they say, to be honest?

Sweet Science

Roddy comes across like a sound fella

No, it's fine for them to say what they're saying. My point is, they sound so confident and positive about the sparring that they had me thinking maybe... But then i see Joe Cortez and Bradley Tiernan struggling to be complimentary and i cop myself on. I wanted to believe. I do hope Conor wins though.

For me they are way OTT in what they are spouting. It comes across as utter spoofing. If they toned it down and structured their "confidence" a bit more they may sell it a bit more.

I know Floyd has bullsh1tted in the past, but he is on record quite a bit saying the fight won't last the distance.

I am going to believe him this time that he wants to end it inside the distance...

Tiernan Bradley has been very complimentary towards Conor anytime I've read his thoughts on the fight. After the Paulie spar he said Conor was the clear winner and looked very impressive.

Given that I haven't seen the Sky sports stuff (does anyone have a link to it online?) I don't know how much he weighted in behind Conor, but on Obviously Fight Talk, 18th Jul, Wayne said Conor has a chance. This week, on the Fight Hub TV video, which we're discussing, he said Conor has a chance. So, for at least a month, he's held that line.

And here he is again, repeating the same line, that yes, Floyd should win, but Conor has a chance.

Yep here's a recent interview with him. Very complimentary of Conor.

Great to see more footage from the sparring. It is evidence for the theory. I now only give Mayweather a puncher's chance.

Oh definitely, Conor is a master pro boxer and Pauli was in peak physical shape at the time and had just come off an extended period of hard training, it's usual to go 12 rounds with your sparring partners as well rather than break it up and bring in multiple guys. Conor for the win for sure. Conor's sparring with Artem also shows that he is the best, 49-1 no problem :rolleyes:

Lads, had Eubank said something favourable about McGregor or his chances in the fight, or is there another reason you're falling all over him?

The man is a grade A moron.
