My opinion on the potential Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor boxing fight.
Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor has been talked up recently in the media with both fighters having spoken publicly about the potential fight. Mayweather has mentioned the possible large sums of money that both him and McGregor could earn from the fight. Mayweather is the greatest boxer of his generation and McGregor is a fighter who has made a lot of noise in recent years. The way McGregor destroyed a dominant champion like José Aldo is evidence of his skill as a mixed martial artist. Mayweather has suggested that the potential fight could be closer than many people expect, however I strongly disagree. I think that Mayweather would easily win a boxing fight if the two were to fight. McGregor was out boxed by Nate Diaz, so what chance does he have against Mayweather? Boxing and MMA are just two different sports. If the fight was to be an MMA fight then McGregor would win, however it is a boxing fight so he will not. Mayweather is not known for his knock out power so I think McGregor might be able to last the full twelve rounds. Mayweather would use his speed and movement to out box McGregor and would be able to land punches at will. Mayweather would win a comfortable points decision.
How do you think the potential boxing fight between and Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor would go?

7 reasons why Michael Bisping will defeat Luke Rockhold and become UFC Middleweight Champion!
At UFC 199 Luke Rockhold will attempt to defend his UFC Middleweight championship against Michael Bisping. UFC 199 takes place on the 4th June 2016 in Inglewood, California. This blog post will provide you with the 7 reasons why I think Michael Bisping will win.
1. Bisping's recent win over Anderson Silva. It feels like to me that this fight was a turning point in Bisping's career. The atmosphere that night in the O2 Arena in London was incredible and I believe Bisping will use that as motivation to go on and win. The way Bisping took all that punishment from Silva, and was still able to win shows great heart and determination.
2. Bisping's UFC experience is up there with the best. Bisping has competed in the UFC 25 times. Only Frank Mir, Tito Ortiz and Gleison Tibau have had more fights than Bisping. I believe Bisping will use this experience to get the win.
3. Bisping has the momentum going in to this fight and I believe he will carry on where he left off.
4. In my opinion Bisping was winning the first fight between himself and Rockhold, before he was finished. I believe Bisping is a much better fighter now than he was then and I am confident he will not make the same mistakes again.
5. Bisping is one of the best when it comes to mind games. Bisping has the ability to mentally beat Rockhold before they have even stepped in the octagon.
6. Bisping will be fighting in the state where he trains out of which is unusual for Bisping given he usually has to travel. It can not be underestimated how important this will be in terms of his preparation for the fight.
7. Bisping last fought in February, while Rockhold has not fought since December last year. Rockhold will have extra ring rust compared to Bisping and this could be key.
Who do you think is going to win?
