Dr Ed Coughlan: Contrasting styles in approach of Mayweather and McGregor point to classic showdown

Conor McGregor’s intense exploration to find the limits of his ability have told him one thing – if you’re prepared to continually ask the hard questions of yourself, you will find a way, writes Dr Ed Coughlan.

The unpredictability of sports is what holds our fascination. We may have great insights and experiences to sway our opinion one way or another, but more often than not, the favourite wins.

To follow this logic, Floyd Mayweather Jr will convincingly beat Conor McGregor this weekend in Las Vegas. End of story.
