Sounds like Paulie got beat up in sparring

[Ariza's Shakes]

But Floyd is 40 and no longer elite.
It's still a mismatch on paper. But not like some think.

In the leaked video Floyd looked shot. His partner was landing the jab at will.

Paulie is a badly post prime fighter...

less than 4 weeks out, prime in shape Connor has a 12 round war with fat out of shape feather fisted paulie, started to fade in round 5 where Paulie tried to put it on him and gassed out him self because hes a fat ****. lmao

According to one of connors other sparing partners, connor wasn't happy with paulie saying he didn't have OMG power and Connor wanted to fight not spar and try to knock fat out of shape Paulie out but didn't succeed.

I think its safe to say paulie has never even been knocked down in these sparring sessions because connor for a fact would be waiting to post that picture up on social media.

Why is Conor flying through the air in every picture he posts. Floyds gonna punch him in the ****

SMH at someone saying "Conor has been boxing for 15 years" WTF!

Paulie's got head gear and getting hit by airbags. Floyd won't get so soft a landing. The take-away from Paulie's report is Conor can go 12 rounds, and not only that but finish the stronger. Paulie's now saying that Conor doesn't necessarily need to get Floyd out of there early to prevail. That's quite a substantial development.

Conors stamina was a question mark going into the fight, but sparring stamina is way different than actual fighting stamina.
Also, judging from the pictures, Paulie was out of shape. Sparring against boxers who are not in peak condition is also less exhausting, because they cant fight hard for the full round.

Paulie said connor was fading after 5 rounds lol and that's when paulies fat out of shape ass tried to "put it on him" feather fisted paulie went all out to prove a point and gassed himself enabling connor to get back into it, feather fisted guy against a guy in head gear lol, paulie admits he himself was totally gassed out by the end of the fight.connor had already faded after 5 rounds, no way he recovers against an in shape floyd.

Hes going to fade even quicker against a guy he can't hit and is missing loaded up shots at and is hitting him in return at will. Floyd 100% stops him. Connors only chance is a huge lucky punch, that means he has NO CHOICE but to load up on every shot, he will be gassed in no time, no other shot other than a big loaded up shot is going to phase floyd. hes ****ed.

Floyds not elite? Floyd is going to destroy Connor so bad boxing fans will actually pity Connor afterwards. Floyd come back from long periods of inactivity many times and is always sharp. Floyd by humiliation Aug.26.

What the **** is Joe Cortez doing there

I recently saw Golpe a Golpe (Marquez's ESPN show) and Cortez was on there explaining that he was hired by Connor to ref his sparring and get him used to fighting under boxing rules.
