Interview with @steemsports writer Brandon Kaplan live from the Mayweather/McGregor Presser

Brandon Kaplan is a writer for @steemsports and was at the Mayweather/McGregor press conference in LA this week. Brandon is an MMA and Boxing Expert that writes for us every week. He was featured on our Steem Sports Cast last week and has some of the best fighting insight in the world.

I asked Brandon about what he saw this week, up close and personal as Floyd and Conor got in each other's faces!

Here is what Brandon had to say:

The presser was at the Staples Center in L.A.
I was around 120-150 feet away from the stage, maybe 50 feet from the actual walkout. I took video.

Surprisingly Conor did not look that much bigger at all, without the hat Floyd would be just as tall.
Neither seemed intimidated, but Conor was enjoying the energy much more. He was truly excited. The crowd was Pro Conor, undoubtedly 100%!

I see the fight playing to Floyd's dance, I've changed my stance on Conor's size and youth mattering. I see him out of there in 7 rounds.

Gambling money will be nice on a knockout and I see Conor wearing out, gambling money on Floyd and Inside the Distance seems right.

There was not much tension, a fight almost broke out 20 feet away from me but it's all fun. It is the spirit of fighting that gets people enthralled!

I'd say this one was just as good as the other pressers, but Conor's mic shutting off was absurd. We wanted to hear more!

I'm Brandon from Los Angeles. Combat sports rule my everyday second, and writing consumes every spare moment. I'm a fan of beautiful violence......
