When Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor<\/a> step into the boxing ring together on August 26, Mayweather is expected to dominate. He is simply far too experienced to be anything less than a massive betting favorite<\/a> against the Irish mixed martial artist.<\/p>\n

McGregor of course, will not be without his advantages. He’ll be much bigger than Mayweather. He’ll be longer. He hits harder. He might well be able to throw Mayweather off with an unorthodox approach to traditional boxing. The list goes on.<\/p>\n

Of all the advantages in McGregor’s corner, however, it’s possible that none are as significant as Mayweather’s age. For all his skill, Mayweather is now 40 years old, and as such, many expect a slower, more fragile version of the undefeated boxer to show up on fight night.<\/p>\n

Apparently, however, you can teach an old dog new tricks.<\/p>\n

While Mayweather is probably out of his fighting prime, his father, Floyd Mayweather Sr., recently assured that the boxing great will have some new tricks up his sleeve when he fights McGregor \u2013 things nobody has seen from him before.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFloyd\u2019s gonna definitely put something on Conor McGregor. I\u2019ve got a few presents for Conor McGregor,\u201d the elder Mayweather said in an interview with NBC Sports Radio (h\/t MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019ve got a few things that I want to hand him. There are a few things that I want to do, and things that Floyd can do. We\u2019re going to be able to touch him up real good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLet me tell you something, even if it goes the distance, [Floyd] is going to whoop his ass. That\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen. Any way he wants to do it, [McGregor] is gonna get whooped. Ain\u2019t nobody gonna say I\u2019m wrong because they know he\u2019s going to get whooped anyway.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can believe one thing, y\u2019all gonna see something new in this fight. You\u2019re going to see something that he hasn\u2019t showed you yet. When he shows it, then y\u2019all will know it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What kind of new tricks do you think Floyd Mayweather will showcase in this groundbreaking mega fight with Conor McGregor?<\/p>\n
