Conor McGregor doesn’t bother taking his fights past the second round, with the Nate Diaz rematch and the fight against Max Holloway the only exceptions to that rule. And while one was against a cardio machine with a granite chin, the other was due to a torn ACL.

Floyd, on the other hand, is a marathon expert who has an impeccable defence, forcing his opponents to go the distance against him.

One way or another, something has to give on August 26th.

But to his credit, McGregor has displayed flexibility in adjusting his approach, namely in how he curtailed the high-energy, low-payoff spinning techniques he was throwing in the first fight against Diaz and almost exclusively focused on his boxing at UFC 202.

And if he adopts a similar game plan against Floyd, lasting the 12 rounds and even taking a few himself, it would reflect tremendously on his resume.

Of course, everyone expects Mayweather to win the fight if it goes the distance but an MMA fighter who hangs in there with the greatest boxer of this generation in his first ever professional boxing bout surely wins the hearts.

Win-win.
