After sparring with Conor McGregor, Paulie Malignaggi says ‘there’s a method to Conor’s madness’

[tang]

Those thinking that Conor McGregor and his team of coaches are just winging it heading into his massive boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. are mistaken, according to Paulie Malignaggi, McGregor’s newest boxing sparring partner.

Malignaggi said Friday night in an interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that pundits who might think McGregor is treating this as just a money grab are very wrong.

“He’s got a game plan behind it,” Malignaggi said. “It’s not what people think. There’s a game plan behind what he’s doing. There’s a method to Conor’s madness.”

everybody's got a plan.

 

[Judobill]

He doesn't sound to me like he is too impressed with Conor's boxing.

 

[jason73]

What is he supposed to say? He is getting paid to promote this fight.

Trash talking while training might be good. Like when I was a kid, I remember hearing something about Paula Abdul getting in shape for concerts by having to talk or sing the entire time she was on a treadmill--good conditioning? Maybe he is planning to talk Floyd into screwing up or taunting him. Probably not a great plan, but if that's your shot for an opening, I guess you have to take it.

Sorry but Paulie got owned here.... I've had some side pieces that were
finer than my main piece... Thats the whole point of the side piece.

Take the 7s and 8s home to momma but keep the 10s as side pieces cuz they
don't know how to act and no hespect nuthin.

EDIT - Don't know what the fuck I did here. Maybe its the Margaritas on after noon Sundays...

 

[NHBStriker]

I believe.

I'm not saying that McGregor will win. In fact, I think that he will gas out and get stopped late. But I am saying that he will look much better than most expect.

Completely off-topic, but is it wrong that when I was wee lad around 1991, I had the biggest crush on Paula Abdul? Because it'd been decades since I thought about that.

Also, I appreciate any bit of completely false hope that CMG's paid sparring partners wanna give to his fans.

Nobody looks good against Floyd. McGregor will look ridiculous after the first 2 rounds.

He didn't say Conor would look good he said he'd look better than most expect.

Overton window is shifting anyway. Few weeks ago it was he won't land a punch, now it's the first two rounds, fight time 13 second walk off KO.

And I cannot fucking wait.

The wont land a punch line was based off of him landing a clean power shot. It has zero to do with actually landing a few punches.

[Enock-O-Lypse Now!]

lol..wtf was that about?

 

[Papi Chingon]

Ok, you're right, everyone saying that thought Floyd would knock him out with one shot and the fight wouldn't last 15 seconds.

How does he have 4 UFC belts? Should have 1 from mendes, aldo, and Eddie.. but the 4th is what?



and mcgregor is less than 2 months away from what he said he'd do. "Get In, get rich, get out."

Didn't they take woodley's to bring into the ring? Looks like he never gave it back.

Seems like the only plausible explanation... wonder if that's what happened though as I don't see how woodley would be okay with not getting it back.
