    If he was serious he'd be sparing Eroll Spence, Loma, Charlo's and Terrence Crawford.

      McGregor is massive for this weight class. Stop trying to down play everything about him. He has the size admit it.

            Yea thats it lmao, and he went 12 too. Paulie literally looks like he was just at the beach drinking beers and eating BBQ. How do you go 12 with him?

                Nobody had any interest in this fight...but slowly everyone is become more interested. I have to admit...I'm beginning to want to watch this now.

                  Conor has been boxing for 15 years. A lot of pro sparring partners have a pretty weak/average record, and they give champs good work.

                  I'm not surprised at all by this.
                  Let's be realistic here. Paulie, at his absolute best was no better than a B- level fighter. That was at the lower weight classes, below 147. Paulie is retired from boxing, A feather-fisted blown up lightweight with hand problems and only 7 KO's in his entire career. He not to long ago had a brain hemorrhage after Porter whooped him. He also appeared a bit chubby compared to his normal self in recent interviews and that's a first, I've never seen him like that. Now, Connor, a CURRENT champion, in the PEAK of his career, a guy who naturally is HUGE compared to Paulie, a guy who is one month out from the biggest fight of his career hires him for sparring cuz Paulie is a name and knows that Paulie at this point so expired as a fighter its ZERO risk... no chance of embarrassing "Conor Ko'd in sparring" bull**** with old, fat, feather fisted retired Paulie. Bully move and a publicity stunt. Conor wouldn't dare step in the ring and spar a real top 20 fighter because he would get knocked out and it would **** the fight up.

                    I was wondering the same, I bet all 12 rounds will be put up on Youtube or highlights shown or something after the fight...
