Throughout the course of 2017, reports have continued to surface regarding new developments in negotiations for a potential Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather superfight<\/a>. Along with the updates regarding the potential scrap, have come predictions for the fight. While most believe that in a boxing match, McGregor won’t be able to compete with Mayweather, famed boxing trainer Freddie Roach recently stated that McGregor’s power and youth could very well make this an interesting fight.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, Conor McGregor<\/a>‘s teammate, Artem Lobov, has given his prediction for both a McGregor-Mayweather fight, and a McGregor-Pacquiao fight. He spoke on The MMA Hour:<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Artem<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing honest, and I know I\u2019m going to get a lot of hate from it, but I don\u2019t see Mayweather making it past the sixth round. And if it was Pacquiao, I don\u2019t see Pacquiao making it past two rounds, and look, I was the one that predicted the one minute against Aldo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an interview of me, I can\u2019t find it now, but there is a video of me where Conor keeps talking about four minutes, saying around the four-minute mark he was going to stop Aldo, and me saying, \u2018no, forget the four minutes. It doesn\u2019t get out of the first minute,\u2019 and sure enough it was.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure I got a lot of hate for that too, but trust me I know something,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve sparred this man for a very long time and I\u2019ve watched this game for a many, many years and I understand a thing or two.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

While updates have continued to surface regarding the potential fight, Mayweather and UFC President Dana White have both remained adamant that a deal has not been reached. With that being said, Lobov revealed that McGregor is training as if the fight was official.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly hope it will happen. I mean, we\u2019re ready, we\u2019re getting ready for that fight, make no mistake about it, Conor is ready to go, he\u2019s a loaded weapon,\u201d Lobov said. \u201cWhenever Mayweather wants to sign on that dotted line, we\u2019re good to go because Mayweather, he\u2019s a big man for talking but whether he actually wants the fight, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
