Mayweather vs McGregor: Final Press Conference

Two great champions but only one winner

Floyd Mayweather, 40 years old, is yet undefeated, with 49 victories to his record. Retired since 2 years, the world champion in 5 different boxing categories is making an exception by returning to the stage to compete against the MMA Irish legend. 

Conor McGregor is only 28 but he’s surely a huge opponent for the American star, with his 21 victories, he’s the most famous fighter in MMA.

A challenge for McGregor

The fight will follow the English boxing rules, which could be a problem for the MMA Irish star as he’s used to fighting under UFC rules and conditions: smaller gloves and some techniques that aren’t allowed with English rules, such as leg kicks or takedown. Moreover, some great stars of the field are betting on his defeat. Lennox Lewis, triple champion in juggernauts, thinks the fight is useless as the Irish fighter will be trashed by Mayweather. For others, the American champion has more experience and techniques than his counterpart, which is a huge advantage for him. So, the question is: who will win this epic fight?

Fight is in the air

Mc Gregor's suit fck you MayweatherThe pair did a giant promotional tour together, in order to attract more sponsors and spectators. In each of these meetings, the two fighters faced each other in front of a wild crowd and the air between them was electric. They teased each other all the time in order to prove who is the boss. But the most iconic offense was from McGregor when he wore a striped suit which was in fact stripes with the word “F**K You”.

Eager to fight and to see who will win, the two legends are preparing themselves for the encounter tomorrow.

leicester Premier League Trophy 2016 Dublin Bars

Can Leicester City retain their Premier League Crown next season?

‘Incredible’, ‘astonishing’, ‘unbelievable’. Just some of the words used to describe Leicester cities League Title.

Few people dared to dream and bet on Leicester’s ultimate victory, even by mid season when the boys in blue were sitting pretty at the summit of the premier league.. Eventually, an ample lead of seven points separated Leicester from its main rival, Tottenham. Everyone, including supporters, players and bookmakers, are now wondering if Claudio Ranieri’s team will be able to repeat such a performance.

The ‘big four’ teams have been very active the pre season trasfer market. Illustrious coaches Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho joined Manchester City and Manchester United respectively. The latter signed the most expensive player in the History of football, French midfield Paul Pogba for 120M€. He will be joined by another star, the international Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Meanwhile in Leicester, although the club may earn more than 300M€ thanks to its title and its financial bonanza in terms of sponsorship, the temptation in several players’ minds to leave the club has been strong. After selling Ngolo Kanté to Chelsea, Riyad Mahrez will likely be on his way to Arsenal or Chelsea very soon. Both players were instrumental in Leicesters magical recipe to win the trophy. However, an important ingredient has not to be forgotten : the participation in the next UEFA Champions League may help leicsester hold onto some its priezed assets. whatsmore the attraction of playing champions league football should attract players to the club that will streghten not weaken the team.

This year it is different. Leicester will no longer be seen as underdogs . The opposition teams will be ready for them the pressure will come on them quickly if they have a bad start to the season.

There’s something we can be sure about: times have changed for Leicester. they will need to compete in both the premier league and the champions league. this will test thier mettle and their resources.

Friendly match FC Barcelona-Leicester on Wednesday August 3rd will be a good indicator of what to expect from the foxes in the coming season. To watch the match in Dublin, do not hesitate to refer to our search engine and choose your pub!
