Irishman Conor McGregor has backed Nate Diaz big time in tonight’s boxing match that sees him take on Jorge Masvidal.
McGregor is a former professional boxer himself having fought Floyd Mayweather and tonight he observes more big name MMA fighters moving to professional boxing.
He is reportedly according to his X account put down half a million on Diaz saying:
“I’ve decided to put $500,000 on Diaz to win tonight’s boxing match. Range, form, experience, solely hands being used, I can’t see Masvidal causing any problems to Nate in a boxing ring whatsoever. They are both little play around dipshits in a fight, play around bollox, but I feel Nate does him in EASY here for real. $500k gets me back $1,625,000 all in.”
That might be a shrewd bet too.
Never forget Andre Ward years ago behind the scenes always spoke of his respect for both Diaz’ brothers’ boxing abilities.
They used to spar Andre Ward, a former pound for pound boxing star, regularly.
