I wouldn’t say it’s ‘Oh my God’ power”

Two-time World boxing champion and Showtime/CBS broadcaster Paulie Malignaggi joined The Jim Rome Show Wednesday and was asked about McGregor’s power after sparring with the Irishmen last week.

“It’s definitely above average. I wouldn’t say it’s ‘Oh my God’ power,” Malignaggi told CBS Sports Radio. “This is what I call ‘Oh my God’ power, even in sparring, and you’re like ‘Oh my God,’ like wow, this guy really hits hard.

Malignaggi referenced a guy named Amir Iman, a 140-pound contender in Miami who he sparred with this past year, and said he had ‘Oh my God’ power.

“Now, ‘Oh my God’ power is very rare. There’s above average power, so if he lands a good shot on you, I mean granted, with small fight gloves he will hurt you, but it’s not ‘Oh my God’ power where every time he touches you you’re like my goodness, this is very uncomfortable. It’s not that kind of power, but it’s good enough.”

I wouldn't call it a "click bait" title per say as a lot of the interview does center around it not necessarily being one punch KO power, but they do bury the lead when later on he says that the power he does have is "good enough"
