LOS ANGELES: Conor McGregor believes he will knock out Floyd Mayweather inside two rounds but is ready for all scenarios when the two fighters clash in their eagerly anticipated superfight next week. McGregor, who is widely seen as a massive underdog against undefeated former welterweight king Mayweather, predicted an early finish to the fight. “There is no way in hell that I’m not ready to fight in the deepest of trenches in this contest,” McGregor said. “I think it affects the contest a lot,” White said when asked if McGregor would be helped by the change. McGregor, who was criticized for addressing Mayweather as “boy” during one event, dismissed suggestions that there was a racially tinged dimension to the duel.
