Mayweather Jr. vs McGregor Expert Predictions
Bleacher Report
| Expert | Prediction |
|---|---|
| Chad Dundas | Mayweather |
| Lyle Fitzsimmons | Mayweather |
| Scott Harris | Mayweather |
| Kevin McRae | Mayweather |
| Jonathan Snowden | Mayweather |
Like a Clayton Kershaw start against the San Diego Padres, the experts over at Bleacher Report have it a shutout in favor for Mayweather. Really, it’s a no contest if you ask these guys. It’s almost funny how unanimous the predictions went and how they picture the fight is going to go down. It’s as if they were asked who’d win in a fisticuff between Mayweather and his any of his ex-girlfriends, which we all know what the answer is. Fitzsimmons, perhaps best encapsulates the group’s confidence on Mayweather by saying “The only way Floyd loses is if he dies on the ring walk. Mayweather by TKO, whenever he chooses.”
Boxers
| Boxer | Prediction |
|---|---|
| Lennox Lewis | Mayweather |
| Ricky Hatton | Mayweather |
| Peter Fury | Mayweather |
You could see from a mile away just who the boxers are picking for this fight. Why, Mayweather of course! The dignity of the sport is sort of on the line in this bout. Should Mayweather lose, boxing is going to be a laughingstock, particularly for those who’ve long turned their backs on boxing in favor of MMA. Should Mayweather win, Lennox Lewis and company are going to be justified. Lewis, a former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion, former junior welterweight champion king Ricky Hatton, and Peter Fury (trainer and uncle of heavyweight Tyson Fury) are in unison in choosing Mayweather to emerge as winner in the American’s 50th career pro boxing match per The Telegraph.
MMA Fighters
| Fighter | Prediction |
|---|---|
| Stipe Miocic | Hopeful for a McGregor win |
| Eddie Alvarez | Hopeful for a McGregor win |
| Dominick Cruz | Hopeful for a McGregor win |
| Dan Hardy | Hopeful for a McGregor win |
McGregor is not without backers, though. His fellow MMA fighters are backing the Irish fighter in this weekend’s showdown. UFC heavyweight champion Stephen Miocic won’t go as far as completely saying he’s expecting McGregor to win, but nevertheless is pulling for McGregor to shock the world. Eddie Alvarez, who was the last man to face McGregor, has no doubt on McGregor’s power but doubts the brash Irish’s ability to find his target against a defensive genius in Mayweather.
