Heading Into Brooklyn, McGregor Holds A Slim Lead In The World Tour After Dominant Round Two

Ok, before we start this article, everybody needs to understand that press conferences are obviously not scored. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a clear winner and loser in these war of words. So with Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather exchanging verbal blows in a heavy-hitting, four cities in four days world tour, why not have some fun and score the four stops as rounds. After all, this is what these press conferences are about: Destroying the opponent mentally before these two even step in the ring August 26th at the T-Mobile Arena.

So let’s take a look at the first two rounds before Brooklyn, New York is graced with the presence of these two tremendous fighters.

Round 1 in Los Angeles shocked a lot of people. In what people expected to be the longest 96 hours of Floyd Mayweather’s life, the Notorious was caught off-guard. The boxing set-up threw him off and Floyd was able to edge out the round with some snarky comments.

Round 2 was completely different. First off, the crowd was so pro-Conor that it was already an easier atmosphere for the Irishman. Conor let Mayweather, The Money Team and even Showtime Sports feel his wrath and took a convincing round two with a 10-8 round performance.

With jabs that even hurt people listening, it will be interesting to see what happens in Brooklyn shortly.
