McGregor and Malignaggi sparring – who really won?
Connor McGregor was preparing for his big match with Floyd Mayweather and he was showing off his boxing skills while dominating Paulie Malignaggi in sparring. However, there are many doubters who believe that McGregor was ready to fight the undefeated Mayweather in his own discipline of boxing in 2017.
The Money Fight was an event that was anticipated with much excitement and discussion about the possible outcome and both sides of the fight had arguments about the favorite. The undefeated legend of boxing Mayweather was retired for two past years and now he is hitting 40, many fans are considering his boxing experience still be impossible for McGregor to handle. It was obvious that a change from UFC boxing won't be seamless and Notorious McGregor will have to learn quickly if he had to about the embarrassment in the ring.
He was a very efficient boxer in Octagon, but this is an entirely different ball game and many doubted that he could stand up to one of the greatest ever. The footage revealed that during his training, McGregor really did a number on Malignaggi during pairing. McGregor was pretty skilled but there is a lot of beef and animosity surrounding the video after the fight was over. Ultimately, he showed that in the fight he started out strong and could cause trouble for Mayweather.
Experience has shown that in the end, veteran Money Mayweather snatched all the big dollars at the end of the 10th round with a TKO victory. Mayweather has shown appreciation of McGregor's ability, while McGregor expressed just frustration with disrespect by fans.
