Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: McGregor Disguised 'Push Down' Well in Video

They shouldn't worry about who wins the sparring. Sparring isn't supposed to be about who wins it, although the fighters want to be impressive. McGregor should be concerned with beating Mayweather. Things could get interesting come fight night.

I disagree. There was fist flying with no body contact or feet tangling together. While the impact of Connor punches weren't solid, he clearly connected. Deft would get called a knockdown

I can agree to disagree with anyone, but I challenge anyone to dispute what I originally said about his left hand/forearm cupping Paulie the same time he was throwing that right.

Paulie should just take his "L"and call it a night. The more he speaks about it the less credible he is at thispoint.

Let it go man.

Which L? you can say who won or lost a match by watching 15 seconds edited video? wow! this comment sounds so F casual to me.

He looked good vs van herdeen too in the edited video, isnt it? what did happen when we saw the unedited video, dude? oh! I remember, van herdeen toyed connor all day long.

You know? 27th august will be a very funny day. Well, not for connor, that will probably be in the hospital, but hey! not everybody can be happy in this world, isnt it?

Keep bragging about fake stuff mcregor waste that mental energy as Floyd is quiet after promotion training planning deciding what to take away

The only thing that kills me about the situation is Paulie being so naive to think that McG's Camp and himself didn't have some type of ulterior motive by inviting him to their Camp.

Regardless of whether you think he lied about the Push/Knockdown imho is irrelevant. If I would have watched 36 minutes of McG destroying Paulie I wouldn't have anything to say on the matter, but this was two clips from certain angles less than 25 seconds combined showing what Paulie has already conceded in every interview that Conor got the best of him in 11 and 12.

Here is what I took from the slow motion video of the knockdown clip. I clearly saw McG's left hand cup Paulie behind the head/neck area and land a right uppercut then he went down. In a real boxing match, I guarantee you not every single Referee would call it a legit knockdown, the better refs would have seen that first and not called it. Just like Cortez.

You asked why people are coming down on Paulie and I gave you my opinion on the matter. He bragged about what he would do to Mcgregor In a boxing ring and was not able to back It up and he got knocked down and lied about It. A few members complained daily about releasing 5-10 seconds worth of video to prove that the knock down was legitimate and they got It. If a fighter gets hit with a grazing shot while trying to get out of the way and ends up off balance and his glove touches the canvas that Is technically a knock down. I would be willing to bet that most referee's would call that a knock down. After all, a punch was thrown right before he was dropped. Floyd Mayweather executes the same exact technique that Mcgregor used to drop Paulie. He puts his left elbow on the back of the neck and throws his right hand.

He always takes away a fighters best attribute. Yours would be the left cross and hook you don't know what a jab is. That training video so comical your really Bruce lees cousin ug lee

I'm literally not going to continue to debate this issue with anyone, I posted a video, the first slow motion segment proves my point as to why Cortez waved it as a no KD........you can have your opinion and I will continue to have mine. I'm not salty that you feel that way, each and every one person can have their own opinion, and I'll respect that.
