Here you go Floyd and Co, have a great 36 minutes of footage to look at a large part of what McGregor has been working on. Come on, seriously. This 'release the full footage' requests are nonsense. Give me one good reason why they should do so before August 27th?

Paulie was attempting to come back around but when his head hit the lowest point force was pushed against it..any person who actually knows about body mechanics can see this..slow motion replay it's even clearer Did he catch Paulie with some good shots? Certainly...and looks like he damn near swallowed his straight left at one point ... But did he drop him with a punch? No And id be inclined to say those 36 mins if we ever see them will be these two knocking lumps out of each other... As both are claiming they battered the other As always, the truth most like lies in the middle

Paulie said on his podcasts that there was not the case. Punches don't have to be clean to have a knockdown. End of the day, doesn't really matter what Cortez did or didn't do as it was a clear knockdown given that Paulie had just swallowed a straight right down the pipe (as he himself was throwing a weak right) which is why he slumped forwards, knees bent and arms flailing........ Conor's tried to follow up with a left (but missed) and that was the only reason his left arm was on top of Paulie's head....... but he was going down anyway. The notion that Conor pushed Paulie down with his left arm and that caused Paulie's knees to buckle and his arms to flail is laughable. Clear knockdown... not even close to being a push. Ah here we go, you've been shown to be wrong and now out comes the "fanboy" nonsense.

I can't see the bookies offering 2/9 on Mayweather if Mayweather had much more than an 80% chance of winning. If Mayweather had, say, a 95% chance of winning, then there would be a lot of smart money piling onto Mayweather at 2/9 and the bookies would lose their shirt on these bets, forcing the line to move and reflect his real chances. I put a few quid on McGregor at 5/1. I also bet that the fight would finish in round 2,3, or 4, with either fighter winning. I also bet that the fight won't happen on August 26th, but now that the date is getting closer, I think an injury to either fighter is less likely.
