Paulie vs Connon REAL Sparring video- SHOWS KNOCKDOWN!

[ykdadamaja]

Connor is sloppy and Paulie is old, but it was a legit knockdown and Paulie was getting raked by the straight left. Of course Connor is no Sugar Ray Robinson, but Paulie ain't really Floyd Mayweather either.... Legit knockdown. Connor has some defense, but sloppy on offense.....

You be the judge!

Watched it over n over as it's rather short. Impressive Conor hit him flush with those lefts. Disappointing paulie got caught with them, but it was likely late in the 12 round sparring match (their first match was eight) against a peaking 29-year-old Conor while paulie is out of shape retired announcer. Now, the knockdown looks good at first, but it really was a case of Conor pulling his head down and paulie tripping. Look at Conor's entourage, NO ONE reacts as if it was a knockdown. Paulie insists there was no count given either n he just got up n kept sparring. Keep in mind these sparring matches are treated as a real fight with Joe Cortez in there acting as the referee. I'm looking forward to the 3 minute sparring video that is supppsed to be getting released this weekend. That will tell us more. All told, this looks very good for Conor n like he got the better of this second session. It's delicious hype n I'm loving it.

Paulie is fat and retired.

Conor is in the shape of his life.

What is embarrassing is the fact that Paulie lied about the push.

Excellent marketing from the McGregor camp and all ammo for episode 3 of All access.

It's a great event but I still won't be paying.

I can't believe anyone thinks Mc looks good.

The speed? He looks so slow. What was that slapping shit? He looks like he has no coordination. All he does well is throw that straight lefthand, like we already knew from the UFF. Good luck ever catching Floyd with it Mr slowcoach.

[Fenster]

Paulie will just say he is off balance because it's not like he was staggered or anything.

It's certainly more of a knockdown than he made out (surprise surprise).

The only thing that surprises me is intelligent boxing fans trying to analyse this meaningless horseshit. #sorrynotsorry

[Master]

Colin should stink the fight out and not engage Floyd. Lasting the distance would be a victory for him.

[ykdadamaja]

Connor should engage for a round or two.... seems to be he has a good quick, straight left hand.

That's what I say. My brother was telling me about it and is starting to think that mcgregor has a chance now. Ridiculous.

There are just so many factors to this whole thing that I don't want to type out. Basically, with retirement, being out of shape, not getting time to train, and jumping in the ring with someone with nothing to lose, you will probably have a few bad moments. Editing can make something seem more than it is. I'm interested if the whole sparring is released and not just a clip.

Also it is a legit knock down but it was more of a push/slip. Something you would call a knockdown but the punch was the least factor in him falling down.

Of course things can be edited to show whatever people want to show. But they aren't going to release the full 12 until after the fight because Conor might have been working on something he plans to do in the fight. But acting like this is nothing is as foolish as acting like it means Conor will win. Fact is Paulie was marked up both times, we now see Paulie has been lying to save face, and Conor did floor a 2 weight champion. Retired doesn't matter because it's only a short spell, Floyd has been retired far longer. All that matters is how much Paulie had left. Probably not much. But Conor is nolonger the guy Paulie could"fight with ankle weights so he couldn't move, tie one hand behind his back" etcetera. Even if Paulie did get the better over 12 (which we don't know because we can see he's already lied to save face) it's still quite clear Paulie is not head and shoulders better. What that means is debatable, but it's certainly not "nothing"

Almost ready to call a complete hoodwink process on all of this drawn out he said he said regarding 'sparring-gate 2017'. Firstly, it's sparring. Secondly, we do understand this is Paulie not Mayweather and it speaks volumes imo that Coners camp and himself would need to push this as relevant to that fact. Thirdly and just wondering, isn't there some sort of conflict of interest in a head commentator of the ppv network paid to promote and work the card serving in a paid capacity to one of it's headliners? I don't know..just seems awfully convenient..but sure keeps it in the news eh. More importantly above all, this event is a steaming pile and a middle finger in the center of the forehead of anyone laying down a nickel for it.

Did anyone see Paulie was using the Mayweather guard - which Paulie doesn't use in his fights.... so that probably played a part too (in hi getting hit more often using a guard he doesn't usually use)

Yeah I noticed that as well

[GaMo]

They went 12 rounds and all the Conor camp could find from that was about 20-30 seconds of decent work.

Let's be honest Paulie was never that good as he hit like a school girl with a bad hand on his best night
So it's not that suprising that Conor could walk through him as he's a much larger man who's in his prime.

So what do you think, does Pauline deserve the hate he is getting, I haven't followed it enough to tell
