The punters have beat down McGregor’s odds from a 7/1 shout early when the fight was still an up-in-the-air concept, and now it stands as low as a 7/2 margin with just a few days left to go before the fight itself actually happens.

The shift towards 8 oz gloves has really opened things up since it is widely-believed that this favours McGregor significantly. His punching power and ability to score a flash knockdown are heavily weighted towards this and virtually everybody agrees that he’s not going to be able to outbox the undefeated counterpunching superstar in Floyd Mayweather.

McGregor will have to rely on his guile and grit with plenty of interesting stories coming out of his training camp. One day, you’ll hear that he was wobbled by a sparring partner or simply unable to land effective punches against studious opposition.

The following day you will hear that his performance in training was tremendous and that everybody is wrong to underestimate the Irishman this Saturday.
