    Pretty much!

    That McGregor isn't dominating a well out of shape C level fighter at this stage in Paulie's career, is testament to the trouble McGregor is going to find himself vs Mayweather.

    I don't see McGregor lasting the distance. I think he's going to tap just like he did with Nate Diaz!

    This is Conor's very first boxing fight! If this fight were by UFC rules, Void would have zero chance! I think the fight is fixed, prefabricated as hell! WWE!

    People say this but Holly Holmes didn't do too badly against Ronda, a mixed martial artist in the Octagon who was meant to be able to beat Mayweather.

    Conor inside the octagon is mostly a stand up fighter, he hardly ever goes to ground unless the other fighter initiates a take down. The only thing a boxer would have to be weary of his the leg kicks which you can train and condition to defend against.

    Nah. An out of shape malignaggi should still be able to box connors head off. I don't believe the sparring that people are viewing is 100% legit.

    Paulie is REALLY hoping to fight McGregor after the Mayweather fight. Conor has probably realized he can make way more boxing, win or lose at this point. Even if he does 1.5 mil buys on UFC he gets like 3 million dollars LOL.

    Of course the guy is gonna keep boxing, if Paulie is an easy fight, he will do it.

    How funny would it be if Paulie knocked him spark out.

    If Conor was smart he'd just stay in boxing.

    Agreed, if you gave a world class boxer two years to train in MMA and give an MMA fighter 2 years to train in boxing, I'd be certain that the boxer would have more success in MMA than the MMA fighter having success in boxing.

    How again would this make for a rematch?

    I would probably spit out my beer, **** myself, fall on the floor laughing clutching my sides if I saw that live.

    I think the whole point of fighting Paulie would be to have Conor be the aggressor so he can get outboxed, but still do enough to perhaps rob paulie. Also if McGregor gets his ass kicked, he won't have permanent health effects.

    If Conor puts up half a decent effort against PBF maybe a real boxing match between them can occur

    I would not feel sorry for Malinaggi if someone pushed him into a tiger cage at the zoo with a steak tied to his groin.

    The only makeup Paulie was wearing is cover up.
