Opinion Of Mayweather

Wood On Podcast

Wood On Podcast

Dickie Wood was on the Internet podcast "Double Barrel Doo Doo" in July of 2017, in which he gave his opinion on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor boxing match:[23]

I don't even think its going to be a close fight.

I think its going to end up in a disqualification because he (Conor) does not want to get knocked out.

I've trained Floyd on the national team a number of times.

He is a personal friend of mine.

I've worked with his uncles a number of times.

I was just out at the Mayweather Boxing Club with Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. I don't think Comor has a chance to beat him.
