帕奎奥告诉雅虎体育说;“麦格雷戈在一点机会也没有,事实上,这很可能是一场非常无聊的比赛。他无法对梅威瑟形成有威胁的冲击,他怎么有可能获胜呢?他在拳击方面一点经验也没有。
真正的战斗是戈洛夫金VS阿瓦雷兹,这是最好的,这才是我要观看的战斗”。
WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has said that he believes Connor McGregor doesn't stand a chance during his upcoming bout against Floyd Mayweather. The fight between McGregor and Mayweather was recently confirmed after months of speculation and it is set to be one of the most eagerly anticipated fights in history. The fight takes place on August 26th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This is despite the fact that it will be McGregor's first boxing fight as an amateur or a professional, as he moves over from MMA, whilst Mayweather has a record of 49-0 and is widely considered to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighers of his generation. Pacquiao, who could have potentially been fighting McGregor had he not been beaten by Mayweather in a blockbuster fight in 2015, expressed his disinterest in the fight. “McGregor has no chance in this fight,” Pacquiao told Yahoo Sports. “In fact, it could be very boring.” Pacquiao, who was known for his speed when fighting, said that against the more defensive Mayweather McGregor may not even land a punch. “There is no way he will be able to land a meaningful punch on Floyd,” Pacquiao said. “How could he? He has no professional experience in boxing.” The Filipino, who is a senator in his country and has spoken about one day potentially running for president, added that the fight he was really looking forward to watching is the upcoming bout between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez on September 16. “The real fight and the best fight is [Gennady] Golovkin vs. Canelo [Alvarez], the best vs. the best. That’s the fight I will be watching." Pacquiao is back in action on Saturday night, when he defends his title against undefeated 2012 Australian Olympian Jeff Horn at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia. There are over 50,000 fans expected for the show. |
