Midnight Mania! Mayweather’s supposed trouble with southpaws debunked

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

It is a truism at this point that Floyd Mayweather has “trouble” dealing with southpaws. This is usually brought up in conjunction with Conor McGregor’s chances against him. This fight is big enough that everyone has an opinion, ranging from reasonable to bad or just flat-out biased. Floyd, after all, has managed to remain undefeated against every southpaw he has faced, so how bad can his troubles be?

The following two videos take a deep dive into the issue and bring us clarity:

Insomnia

Is Mayweather shading McGregor’s weird training practices here?

Because McGregor is not going to be outdone with non-combat related training

Jim Miller goes full ‘Murica for his last sparring session before his UFC 213 bout with Anthony Pettis

Tim Kennedy is at the very least mildly disturbed, and I don’t think he would deny that. Some of these are funny, though.

Justin Gaethje’s Q&A (also, he says he is going to kill Michael Johnson)

Did you watch Chris Weidman on the MMA Hour? If not, you missed his story of beating up a kid as a gym teacher

Slips, Rips, and Knockout Clips

Yoel Romero at forty years old is still in contention for “best athlete in the UFC”, and I won’t get tired of posting GIFs of him being superhuman.

Justin Gaethje’s highlight reel is just as violent

I’m so happy Lawler-Cerrone has been rebooked for UFC 214. Lawler was the most entertaining welterweight champion of all time.
