It's much more complicated than "a puncher's chance."
I know the tendency is to pull the other way in light of all the people who worship Conor, but the fact of the matter is this fight is much, much closer a matchup than most are giving it credit for.
Lots of questions will be answered that night. I don't think Khabib has ever been hit by someone like Conor. I don't think he's dealt with anyone who can dance around like him. Conor has a way of luring someone into his pace.
I'm discounting the Mayweather spectacle because it was exactly that, a spectacle.
I believe that if Conor gets a hard left early, things will look very bad for KN.
This might seem like I'm being one-sided towards him but the reasons to expect a Khabib win are obvious. If he gets Conor down once, just once, it's probably over. And by over, I mean five rounds of long, drawn out pounding.
