SENIOR: IT’S GOING TO BE A BRUTAL NIGHT FOR CONOR
FLOYD MAYWEATHER Snr believes that whether his son takes Mcgregor the distance or not, the Irishman will getting “whooped” on August 26. The veteran trainer and former pro boxer also said he and his son have some surprises up their sleeves for the UFC champion, inset. “I’ve got a few presents for Conor Mcgregor,” said Floyd senior in an interview with NBC Sports Radio. “I’ve got a few things I want to hand him. There are a few things I want to do, and things Floyd can do. We’re going to be able to touch him up real good.” The main question for many heading into the contest, is whether Mayweather will have what it takes to stop Mcgregor? According to Mayweather Snr, regardless of whether he finishes the fight, his son will hand out a brutal beating to Mcgregor. He said: “Let me tell you something, even if it goes the distance, (Floyd) is going to whoop his ass. That’s what’s going to happen. Any way he wants to do it, (Conor) is gonna get whooped. Ain’t nobody gonna say I’m wrong because they know he’s going to get whooped.” Mayweather Snr refused to comment on Mcgregor’s training footage as he claimed the Dubliner “has no one good to train with.” “It really doesn’t make any sense for me to be looking (at Conor’s videos) because, to be honest, Conor Mcgregor doesn’t have anyone good to train with. Even if he did, Floyd is going to be the best anyway. Trust me,” he said. Mayweather Snr has promised we will witness something have not seen in his son’s previous 49 professional contests. He said: “You can believe one thing, y’all gonna see something new in this fight. You’re going to see something he hasn’t shown you yet. When he shows it, then y’all will know it.”
