If only people knew what a huge sham and scam this whole thing is. This nonsense than Mcgregor is training harder than he ever has is just that, nonsense. You aren't going to train like that when you have absolutely no chance at all. Anyone who knows anything about boxing knows this.

The whole Paulie thing is just a publicity stunt, the sparring is probably a joke. A professional boxer is never going to get beat up by a person who has never boxed a professional bout in his life. It's beyond a joke at how many people actually believe this nonsense.

I agree with what you say . However its becoming obvious that he brought Paulie in to try beat him up and make an example of him . Paulie is now calling his bluff to release the footage

It's like saying a person who has never ran the 100 meters in his life claiming he beat a world class olympic sprinter in a race. It takes high powers of delusion for anyone to believe Conor beat up an ex world class two time champion up in a sparring session over 12 rounds. 

He probably got jabbed to death and lost every round on points.

Was there unedited Van Heerden footage released? I though his footage also had a spin on it.



There was also considerable less tickets on sale for May/Pac. It's a lot easier to sell out when there's only 500 tickets availible.

Just mute the music, or you'll rip your ears off.

He's improved on this though surely, regardless he will be ripped apart.

Short of George Lucas coming on board with his cgi crew I fail to see how even heavy editing of this footage could make McGregor look good

Ah no doubt he has.

In fairness to him, he does land some. BUT, his footwork is ****e in this, no head movement to speak of and he is always dragging his hand back.

He lands some on a guy who's not Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather would pick him apart.

Good lord that is bad, footwork is very slow and leans in face first - this won't be pretty

I know, its pretty old but it doesn't make for good viewing. And thats even if he was just "moving around" with him.

He seems to be missing the fundamentals of it, and thats probably because you don't need them too much in MMA.

Time will tell but if he is even half as bad as this in a few weeks, its easy work for Mayweather.

Its easy work for Mayweather regardless, lets not delude ourselves.

Mayweather should have to be handicapped... like they do in horse racing... he should have to wear a big heavy weight vest and ankle weights or something. Just to level the playing field a bit. :P

Maybe they can try something like that for the re-match... it could be a new combat sport! For the trilogy, you could have Conor plus half a dozen stripper b!tches throwing dollar bills in his face to distract him.... every time Floyd mistakenly clocks one of the strippers, Conor automatically wins the round!!

Tbh, I would pay to see that...

Would be nothing mistaken about Floyd clocking a stripper.

It wasnt edited . It was full footage of a round or 2 . Paulies all adds to the show but releasing edited footage of Van Heerden when the guy was only helping him was out of order

If the video about is all that was posted. It's not 2 mins, out of however long they sparred. My understanding was Van Heerden chose this section as a reply Conor. Which makes it edited. That's the point I was making.
Maybe it's the extent of the footage he had, I doubt it though.

Van Heerden is still banging on about it, so he's getting his mileage out of the spar anyway.

Man what are you arguing exactly. McGregor looks terrible in the sparring video? Everything about him looks terrible. Its not a snippet or a picture of him on his ass.

While he's no doubt improved the reason this is out there is because he chose to make himself out to be a boxer and that he was getting the better of Van Heerden, which he clearly wasn't and didn't look like he had any of the skills necessary to get the better of him either.

Where are you getting the idea that I'm arguing of those points? Reading comprehension FTW.

In saying full, unedited footage of that session was never released. Just like the Paulie footage won't be imo.

I think he was preparing for an MMA fight at that time. This generated some columns inches at the time. Van Heerden seems happy enough with the publicity too. he reposted it the other day.
No such thing as bad publicity as they say.

Yes but what round will I go? And will I get a counter and will there be a snippet of me leaving but not the rest of my storm out?

I didn't say you were arguing those points, I made those points after asking what were you trying to argue. Or were you just making a blanket statement alluding to the full footage showing something different that McGregor being terrible against Van Heerden?

Accept there is no such thing as bad publicity and doubt the video of the Paulie spar will come out, I mean why would Mcgregor allow it to be released if he was schooled by an overweight out of shape Paulie? Wouldn't be good for the image he's trying to portray.

I think I'm right in saying, that Van Heerden was eying up a potential fight with Conor after that sparring session... so that probably tells it's own story, in a way!

I bet there are plenty of top pros out there, who would love to be in Floyd's position right now... training for a glorified sparring session with a novice boxer. Not every day you get a chance to make free money, in this game.

He has been after a fight with Lamont Peterson lately, he wanted it on the undercard of this.

Floyd has brought in Chris Eubank Jr into the Mayweather boxing gym to help him prepare for the fight. A perfect choice. Conor is likely to walk to the ring north of 160lbs. So it makes sense to spar with a top middleweight. Obviously Eubank is a far superior in every aspect of boxing than McGregor, A few rounds with him will prepare Floyd to blow McGregor away.

Yes. How would he ever cope with a 160 + Conor without this specific training!

Personally I don't think Floyd needs preparation, I feel he could roll out of bed and fck up McGregor. But no matter what the situation, Floyd will not change what he has always done. There will be no slack in preparation. Eubank fits the bill. He's taller than Conor with a similar reach, he's young, strong and has punching power.

Would actually love to be a fly on the wall for that sparring. Eubank is not a bad fighter...

Probably be better than the actual fight tbf. :pac:

Eubank is a real clone of McGregor alright pmsl orthodox pressure fighter absolute nothing like Conor's style.
