Comments Thread For: Malignaggi on Sparring McGregor: Good Power, He's No Dummy!

[jay543]

Paulie is lame for only give a few insights, Conors other sparring partners are giving long ass interviews some even saying Conor lifted other guys up but Paulie decides to keep secret, that means Conor got his ass tore up something vicious lol

They probably put a beating on Conor for talking ****, dude looking scared as hell with Conor bout to throw a roy jones straight left on his ass.

Paulie looks like an overweight chihuahua

So you're telling me an out of shape retired soft Paulie survived and was competitive with McGregor in sparring.

Then Paulie says he had "good" power... But didn't drop him.

And despite all that hes not sure "whether that can be effective or not" in a real match

To me all those are pretty big insults to McGregor that he couldn't easily beat retired Fattie Malinaggi

Why do you seem so insecure lol?

He's speculating, and you're embellishing his speculation...

I love Paulie. His boxing style, his commentary, and his podcast. But the funniest thing I ever heard nazzem Richardson say was that Paulie couldn't knock a glass of water of the edge of a table with a running start. He also said that if Paulie had good power, he'd have been an agt.

You may notice that the other sparring pics lepechraun released were of him landing punches. In this case, he was reduced to releasing a pic of him clowning but not landing anything.

Lol idk about anyone else here but to me it sounds like a patronizing comment. Like a pat on the head.

Also: He's not your conventional boxer but he knows what he wants to do.

Translation: He sucks, yeah, but he doesn't suck that much. He still doesn't have a shot at beating Floyd doe.

Sorry but there's too many conflicting interests to take this at face value.

First Paulie is an employee Showtime who stand to benefit greatly from this circus show.

Second Paulie is on the McGregor payroll who also stands to benefit greatly from this circus show.

What did Paulie say that would have you suspect something nefarious?

Paulie sparred 8 rounds with the guy, said that he wasn't a complete novice when it came to boxing, acknowledged that his style is clearly unconventional but might be awkward enough to work for Conor, and put to rest this notion about Conor being able to one-punch a horse (while still acknowledging that Conor comes to the table with legit heavy hands).

It's clear that what Paulie has seen from Conor hasn't yet changed his mind on his the fight would go, so not sure what harm is being done

To me it sounds like he's saying "Conor's a little better than I thought... But that's not saying much."

Just having some fun

Paulie's eyes and opinion matters; nothing any of the other sparring partners say is ever even weighed by anyone.

If Paulie had come out and given a full breakdown of the 8 rounds of sparring, good or bad, the betting line would move in a meaningful way, and the way that the general sports media would cover the fight would change in a meaningful way.

Promoting the fight

Malignaggi is a good test. He is arguably better than Floyd in all categories. It is only his abstinence from the juice, and its use by all fighters who beat him, that limits him.

Don't forget to take your meds again

Showtime cant fool anybody only the Floydettes, Haymon Hoes and UFC fanboys buying this garbage. Paulie is Showtime owned and washed up. Floyd boring ass UD and everyone knows it. Bring on GGG vs. Canelo
