We pray for understanding as we all occasionally request back door action by accident, when we tried to call an electrician. It happens, it simply happens.
Didn't appear to be a knockdown but it also wasn't a push like Malignaggi has said in the media. Dana White released a few other clips of the sparring that show Conor landing heavy shots from range (of course that's all he shared) but those clips also looked very sloppy from Conor in close. Not just a bit sloppy either, very amateur looking shit.
Paulie definitely over played the "push down."
It looked closer to a legit knockdown than the shove he was making it out to be. It looked mostly like he was off balance and just fell.
Paulie is still calling for the entire footage to be released. Maybe they will after the fight, but I doubt it. At that point, there's really no reason to.
Unless this is all just to set up a Paulie/McGregor fight after Mayweather.
JUST ANNOUNCED #MayweatherMcGregor undercard:
@Gervontaa vs. Francisco Fonseca
@NathanClev vs. @BadouJack
@AndrewTabiti89 vs. @usscunningham
Looks like 8 ounce gloves got approved.
Smaller gloves, faster hands.
Does Conor cut/swell easily or no?
The bet was placed by the Maloofs. I read somewhere the books system couldn't print the bet correctly for 1mil so they re-booked it into 2 bets.

Thanks.
I still like the bet a lot. But that sum of money would make it worth pursuing UK bookies for -400
For anyone who missed it or wants to see it Floyd was on Kimmel last night.
Gloves have been changed to 8oz for the fight. Mayweather apparently will be placing a large bet on himself and figures the glove size will help the betting lines.
I'll be glad when it's over, really.
Just found myself arguing with an "mma guy" because he said 2 boxers went into MMA and lost in the first round, citing Ray Mercer/Tim Sylvia and James Toney/Randy Couture. When I pointed out that Mercer had actually won, he went straight to "well, Sylvia was at the end of his career and past prime. Toney/Couture is a much better example."
Apparently that was prime James Toney in there, and this little dipshit was the only one who knew it.
10 minutes I'll never get back.
I'm more of an MMA fan these days but love both sports. The idiotic debates from either side are nauseating. Looking forward to this being done as well. There are so many interesting fights in MMA that Conor needs to deal with. I hope he loses bad enough that he doesn't come to boxing again.
