“I think (he’s) definitively an underdog, but he has a method to what he’s doing and he has a thinking process behind it”.
The sparring knockout story was squashed in all corners subsequently after getting out by the likes of Brandon Rios and Paulie Malignaggi. “I admit that. So I was really surprised they called me. They wanted me for my boxing ability and my boxing brain”.
“Do you think Conor McGregor, in my prime, is better than me?!”
McGregor would also tweet about the session, which Malignanngi said was serious. “At the end, you look back on it, it was kind of fun”, said Malignaggi.
However, it would be foolish to take too much away from one solitary image of an eight round spar – although Malignaggi was complimentary of McGregor’s work. With a record of 0-0, people are unsure if McGregor can do what needs to be done to become the first man to defeat the five-division world champion.
It has been rumoured that Malignaggi has signed a confidentiality agreement while sparring with McGregor, after the South African boxer Chris van Heerden leaked a less than flattering video of the UFC star in action.
The two fighters have already agreed to share several more rounds over the next few weeks. “He’s effective at what he’s doing”. There’s a method to his madness, ‘ the 36-year-old told NYFights.com. He and his team are working at it.
There’s not too many folks giving Conor McGregor a chance to win his upcoming fight against Floyd Mayweather.
Paulie will have a better idea than anyone as to what will happen on August 26th after he gets an inside view as to what Conor is going to bring, so his pre-fight analysis will be interesting for sure.
