That's right Paulie, keep milking this non story.

"I managed to last until about 12, but in rounds 11 and 12 he came back and put it on me." - I hate to say it but it kinda sounds like McGregor Stopped Paulie...

Betting companies think Conor has quite a fair shot to put it at 10-1 for a knockout.

A betting man would certainly go for Mayweather to Ko Connor, or for connor to quit one of the two I reckon.

I think we will see the best of Floyd Mayweather Jr. on this fight.
Im rooting for him to KO McGregor, so that the MMA will leave the boxingscene alone.

Wow so McGregor struggled with Paulie who had freaking jet lag lol

Really? I took from this the opposite - That Conor had Paulie wanting to quit early on and then put it on him again last couple of rounds. I would've thought that even a "jet-lagged" Paulie would outbox mcGregor pretty easily

I didnt take it like that at all. I took it that he was good stamina wise till the end thats when he started getting hit alot more.

I took it as team mcgregor probably saw paulir wasnt in the best of shape last week and decided to take advantage of paulie but still ended up getting beat most of the sparring hencewhy paulie said dont **** with me , but they ended up finishing stronger than paulie

'Back and forth' early on was how he phrased it, before Conor gassed in the 6th.

I took it as being competitive until 6, when Conor faded and Paulie kicked his as$, until rd11 when Paulie gassed and Conor came back.

I really would have thought Paulie would dictate a full 12 in there against McGregor. That being said, Conor is probably 5 times fitter than Paulie at this point.

Paulie is feather fisted in 8oz gloves in 16 ounce gloves and head gear hes going to have a hard time keeping anybody off him in sparring no matter how much he is landing, hes fat and out of shape going 12 rounds will be a struggle with anybody.
