San Jose Sharks’ Brent Burns and Joe Thornton are paired together in everyone’s mind because of their matching massive beards, but also because they share quite the bromance.
While athletes across the world were watching the Floyd Mayweather versus Conor McGregor fight in bars and on their television screens, the bromance of Burnzie and Jumbo Joe were in attendance in Vegas. And Burns was clearly rooting for McGregor with his massive Irish flag.
In the tweet, Burns mentions that McGregor’s coach, John Kavanagh, did everyone proud, and he later retweeted the coach’s tweet…
And Burns is right, going from MMA to boxing for a coach and fighter is no easy feat, and McGregor held his own with one of the greatest of all-time.
