Conor McGregor sparring partner: ‘He lifted me off my feet with his right hand’

[Zeph]

DUBLIN — Conor McGregor is set to finish preparation for his blockbuster marquee with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas on Aug. 26, but the Irishman’s camp is already in full swing here in the Irish capital.

McGregor has been training in a brand-new boxing facility next to SBG Concorde on Dublin’s Naas Road, best recognized for the gargantuan mural of him landing his patented left cross on the pound-for-pound great, which has been emblazoned on the gym’s wall.

Since the fight’s official fight announcement earlier this month, McGregor has put together a team of sparring partners. Pro boxer (22-21-3) and former MMA fighter (9-2- 0) Dashon Johnson has previously helped Manny Pacquiao prepare for Mayweather, which made him an obvious addition to the camp. Irish boxing pro (5-2) Jay Byrne has also been drafted in to trade leather with “The Notorious.”

Most recently commonwealth youth silver medalist Tiernan Bradley was brought into the camp after being recommended by Conor Wallace, the Northern Irish amateur boxer who was called upon to help McGregor prepare for his rematch with Nate Diaz.

Wallace’s recommendation was based on Bradley’s ability to replicate the Mayweather style and the 20-year-old is confident he can offer McGregor looks that will ready him for the “Money” man in two months time.

I read another article from an Irish professional boxer who said Conor has a really good chance of knocking Floyd out, and that those saying he has no chance don't understand boxing.

The more I think about all the possible ways this fight could go, the more I see it ending with Conor standing over Floyd's unconscious body.

Definitely got a bigger chance than any of these melts are giving him.

i think you are the only sane mcgregor fan sweets.
you are correct, but nate made him better as he had to dig extremely deep in that second fight.
In between rounds 3 and 4 conor reminded me of myself a bit when he looked like he was going to cry from exhaustion.
That is where kavanaugh earned his corn and conor became more of a man..................i don't think conor will ever fight nate again as it's like cutting to 145. He can probably do it again, but does he really want to?

LMAO we all can see right thru this. Call it what it is bullshit

10oz gloves will reduce the power

Conor never fights in mma again

Getting a bit better every day..

He'll KO Floyd and then defend his lightweight belt before the end of the year.

He usually fights 3-4x a year, only took a break for the birth of his son.

Seriously you are one of the most annoying people ever. You are the type of fan that is honestly the problem. It's cool to like someone but the stupid shit you say is just that stupid shit. Motherfucker did you see the canelo fight? Canelo would beat the living shit out of Conner and Floyd made him look like an amateur. You obviously have no fucking clue about boxing. Conor will throw one punch and Floyd will throw 5. Seriously fuck off with your stupid Conor shit already.

A few months ago I'd have called you crazy, but since I've been living on his face I've been able to see the work first hand. I think with me on his face, and you on his nuts that the sky is the limit.

Actually it is. Read the post you quoted.

Wow the blindness is funny


Allow me to say this again. CONOR WILL THROW ONE PUNCH FLOYD WILL THROW 5!!! Floyd will shoulder roll every punch and eventually floyd wins a decision. It's funny you guys think Conor will come out there throowjnf like crazy and OH MAN HE JUST MIGHT CATCH HIM!!!' Yeah who has caught Floyd before? Huh? What pro boxer has caught aks kod Floyd? Oh but some big mouth nobody will just because he beat a couple guys in MMA hahahahaha fucking idiot losers.

Eddie vs Conor because it's time for Eddie to get the attention he truly deserves. I believe Eddie will make this look easy.

He won't keep his hands up he is a showboat and believing his own hype too much. Aldo will pick him apart with striking and takedowns and hurt him bad.

This. The disrespect people are showing Aldo is disgusting. This guy has beat the best and has been doing it a long time. Conor beat some cans and a top guy on two weeks notice because zuffa didn't want Conor to fight a top guy like Frankie who would be ready and would've won

I think now more than ever Aldo beats him up badly. Destroys that leg and goes home with it, AND Aldo can take him down whenver he wants.

That was actually one of the worst things I have ever seen. Diaz has a fucking mansion insides Conor's head. Conor is literally falling apart. He may possibly get wrecked Saturday night

 

[Pitbull9]

Oh wow that is lame! So you quote me when speaking about MMA where Conor lives but try to use that as an example of him vs mayweather hahahahahhaajahah. Man you remind me so much of someone it's hilarious. Eddie fought like a Moron and so did Aldo so what point are guy making there? Zeph let me tell you something regardless of anything sports related.

You are not always right
You don't know as much as you think you do
