Shortly after Dana White released clips from the infamous Conor McGregor vs Paulie Malignaggi sparring sessions, seems like just about every single person have their own takes on the matter.
Knockdown, pushdown, or a bit of both? Here are some of the thoughts from several respected figures in boxing as they watched the clip, courtesy of Fight Hub and Fight Hype.
Three-division champion Shane Mosley watched “the tap that he caught Paulie with” and says he doesn’t think highly of Conor McGregor’s punching technique or power.
“(McGregor) throws more at the fighter, instead of through the fighter. If you’re going to throw at Mayweather, you’re never going to hit him with anything,” Mosley said.
