Conor McGregor Has A Good Chance To Beat Mayweather Says Idris Elba
Actor and kickboxer Idris Elba joined the guys at First Take and gave his thoughts on Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather. When asked if he believes Conor will even land a punch on Floyd. Idris gives a warning to the hosts that he is going to say something controversial.
“In my opinion, I think that McGregor has a really good chance of winning that fight. And here’s why, and I know it’s controversial. Listen, I have a kickboxing background. The agility of kickboxers in MMA is very different from a boxer ok.
And I think what’s going to happen is that… and I love Floyd, he’s a friend. He’s gonna fight his fight, but I think McGregor is going to topple that. He’s going to topple his composure. He’s going to throw some thing around that Floyd isn’t going to be used to. And the other thing about McGregor is that he can strike really really really quickly out of nowhere.
Where I think if Floyd does what he does normally, is try to hold a tight fight. I think McGregor is going to topple that, strike him. If he gets his chin, it could be over. Not a lot of people agree with me. I just know kickboxers move differently.”
Max Kellerman tries to pull Elba’s points apart. Referencing how he used to watch old kickboxing fights as a kid. And how the ruleset put them at a disadvantage to a good boxer.
Idris however, comes back at Max and explains how he believes that McGregor is not going to try box, Floyd. He’s going to fight Floyd!
“MMA is Mixed Martial Arts, so McGregor is not just a kickboxer. He has the agility of so many different disciplines. Which is what I think is going to be a disadvantage for Floyd. Floyd is going to try box Colin? Conor is going to fight Floyd. I think what’s going to happen is Floyd is going to try taking off his gloves and landing one on him really.”
