Tuesday afternoon at the first Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor press conference, the pair both gave speeches, most of which were trash talk, in front of a packed Staples Center arena.<\/p>\n

McGregor kicked off the event, where he boldly predicted that he would finish Mayweather<\/a> in the first four rounds of the event. Predicting that Mayweather has never seen someone who moves like him.<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

He spoke at the post-press conference media scrum:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one knows what\u2019s coming, and that\u2019s why there\u2019s a lot of fear in the boxing community and in his camp. They don\u2019t know what to expect. I\u2019m going to come out a lot different.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI am fighting. He\u2019s boxing. The two worlds collide.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI just don\u2019t think he\u2019s ever seen anything like this,\u2019\u2019 McGregor said. \u201cI don\u2019t think the boxing world has ever seen this kind of power, this kind of velocity, this type of movement. These attacks are different.”<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil you\u2019ve seen the traditional martial arts style against a flat-footed style like boxing, you can\u2019t compare,\u2019\u2019 McGregor said. \u201cI have the footwork advantage by a mile.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"ufc<\/p>\n

While McGregor is accustomed to dominating the mental warfare aspect of fight buildup, Mayweather came out extremely aggressive in the trash talk department, however it was McGregor who gave the first speech, where he trash talked Mayweather:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some psychological warfare going on,\u2019\u2019 McGregor said. \u201cBut at the end of the day, I\u2019m just looking at him and I\u2019m looking at his little frame and knowing that I\u2019m going to run through that.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, this is easy. No one\u2019s kicking me, no one\u2019s elbowing me, no one\u2019s trying to choke me. You know what I mean?”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
