‘McGregor’s going to knock Mayweather out cold’

In a tale of two Las Vegas super fights, Jason Quigley admits the September middleweight showdown between Gennady Golovkin and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is the quality match-up. But, understandably, he cannot get away from the hype that surrounds the battle of you-know-who next weekend.

Considering Oscar De La Hoya has been one of the most vocal critics of the crossover bout between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, you might have expected Quigley to row in behind his Golden Boy promoter in dismissing the much-hyped fight as a “circus”.

Instead, the Donegal middleweight not only opted to stand in the opposing corner to De La Hoya, hailing the bout as a must-watch event, he event went so far as to predict that McGregor will deliver an upset knockout victory during a recent TV interview.
