So, the big fight is just around the corner and everyone is talking about it. An outspoken and unapologetic mixed martial artist will take on a veteran boxer who is coming out of retirement just for this fight. Has Conor McGregor bitten off more than he can chew or can he actually put his money where his mouth is and beat an all time boxing legend in his own game? Here are some betting tips that will help you make a decision of who to put your money on and how to do it.
While most people are of the opinion that Mayweather, who has a professional record of 49 – 0 is going to outclass Conor McGregor who really isn’t an out and out boxer, there are some who believe that the sheer madness, confidence, athleticism and agility of McGregor can actually help him, against all odds, beat Mayweather.
Firstly, let us take at the odds as they stand today in terms of who will win. The bookies have Mayweather to win at 2/7, Conor McGregor to win at 11/4 and the fight to end in a draw at 33/1.
Coming to who will win and how they will win, these are what the odds look like at this time. Mayweather to win by a knockout, technical knockout, or disqualification is at 8/11, Mayweather to win by decision or technical decision is at 5/2, McGregor to win by knockout, technical knockout or disqualification is at 3/1 and lastly, McGregor to win by decision or technical decision is going at 25/1.
There are of course other bet options which are more unorthodox such as both fighters to be knocked down and fight to finish within 59 seconds which are currently at 6/1 and 50/1 respectively.
Whatever bet you choose to go with, at the end of the day, it is important to remember the facts – It is a boxing match, and Floyd Mayweather is one of the best technical boxers the sport has ever seen. It is highly unlikely that a mixed martial artist will be able to fight by the rules of pure boxing and defeat a timeless boxing legend.
