5 Keys to victory for Conor McGregor against Floyd Mayweather

#2 Use the right hand

Just depending on the left hand isn't a wise strategy

Floyd Mayweather is known to be a meticulous student of the game. He's been known to pour through hours of his opponents' fight footage, in an attempt to formulate a fail-proof gameplan against them.

The problem for him in this fight is that Conor McGregor has never boxed before. And as such, the only known threat that Floyd can expect from Conor is for the Irishman to look to land that vaunted left hand.

Conor's left hand has knocked countless opponents out in MMA, and Floyd will no doubt be extremely guarded against it.

And that's exactly why McGregor can score with his right.

While Floyd Mayweather harnesses all his attention in nullifying the notorious left hand, Conor can exploit the openings that he may leave and land with his other hand.

It's a classic case of misdirection borrowed straight from a magician's playbook. Just as well, because McGregor needs a bit of magic to pull this victory out of the hat.
