Why the hell would Paulie go down like he did if McGregor just leaned on him for a fraction of a second with his arm?? Come on man :P

It's a pretty basic thing. They time rounds. So either there was 11 minutes and 0 seconds left in the round, minutes in white, seconds in red, or it wasn't actually in use, or it might have just been displaying the time. It's a 4 digit display. If the round is being shown it would be the the small number in the top left hand corner of the display which you can't make out.

Gintonious wrote: » Im not suggesting that thats the only reason he went down, like I said before, he was bolloxed tired and the slightest feel gave him a reason to go down. That right was a jab at best in terms of power, sure Paulie took that whopper left and stayed standing, so you think a right like that is gonna floor him or give him trouble? Give over.
wonderfullife wrote: » He caught him behind the ear. It was a punch and he went down. Innocuous punches often drop opponents. Look at Conor v Poirier. Look at (the best example) this: This "punch" looks like a love-tap to the ear yet it put him asleep. It's often innocuous looking shots that put fighters down. Funny enough most fighters will eat a hard straight left to the nose easier than they can take a fidgety little slap behind the ear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nb4Tf1Esx4

Look at Paulie's body BEFORE Conor throws the right... and then immediately AFTER As Paulie is attempting to throw a right his body suddenly bends, totally misses with his weak right, and his arms flail...... he was caught with thr right McGregor throw, that's why! Either that or someone shot him with a pellet gun. And again, that's BEFORE Conor's left arm comes anywhere near the back of Paulie's neck! Not saying that the right was that powerful, but it was clearly enough to take whatever Paulie had left from him.
wonderfullife wrote: » ha! It's such a misleading headline. If you watch the video what he actually says is that John approached him at Bellator while James Gallagher was fighting, that both Conor & John wanted him in the corner but *someone* said "you're too expensive". That *someone* was a former UFC lawyer who is representing Paradigm. Stitch said John texted him to apologize and said they all wanted him and Stitch implies that Dana White didn't want him working in the UFC PI and basically in not-so-many-words blames Dana for ruining a great opportunity for him.

wonderfullife wrote: » Dana holds a grudge worse than anyone I've ever seen it's borderline sociopathic - the only exceptions are if you can actually make him money! If you're a cut-man, journalist, coach, ref he'll hold a grudge for life because you can't make him cash. Stitch is right though his experience could have proved vital on the big night. No disrespect to Tommy McCormack, I'm sure he's good at his job, but he'll have never worked an occasion of that magnitude or anywhere even close to it. Stitch has been in huge fights with Andre Ward and Klitcshko. Mind you Stitch did stick the boot in at the end of that video calling SBG "an amateur team".
Lukker- wrote: » Tbh he was overselling himself a bit, he's a cut man he's not gonna be influencing gameplan regardless of what he said. I'm sure he'd bring some sage wisdom and would be a good person to have around, but Conor elevates Tommy McCormack big time by doing this and that's good too.

Gintonious wrote: » You can see from the behind angle that Paulie is trying to throw a right and move at the same time because the left is coming at him....
....thats when the glove ends up behind his head and he is pulled down and he just gives up.
You can even hear it in the slow-mo video, all the other punches and were thrown before it make a nice loud noise, but the left makes nothing.
Outlaw Pete wrote: » Yes, but he has just been hit with a right to the chops at that point, which is why he wildly missed with his own right. He showed clear signs of being off balance and that was all before Conor's left glove had come anywhere near him. Again, Paulie was already flailing before that. Eating the right clearly disorientated him and that's why he gave up, as just having Conor's glove on the back of his neck was too much for him at that stage. The chap gassed out. Calling it a pull down is ridiculous. Yes they do, Gintonious, yes they do...... I think that's what they call an own goal :P

wonderfullife wrote: » Great post. On a slight tangent, I've been accused (at last count) by 5 different posters of "living vicariously through Conor" and 2 posters implied that I might be the type of crazy-stalker to inflict violence on him/JK. The other day someone said "well why don't you go try achieve greatness in your own life instead of living through him" and while my initial reaction was "not this sh1t again", I did a bit of thinking about it. Part of why Conor inspires me so much is that it was far easier for him to give up on his dreams than to chase them. When he was up in Donegal fighting Paddy Doherty or over in Portlaoise fighting Sowinski, I'm sure the UFC looked an impossible dream. For the first 5 years of his journey in MMA, 14 contests, he probably made a financial loss from fighting. I've no doubt in my mind he had people in his ear constantly telling him to give up that stupid fighting and get a 'real job' and still, he stuck at it. The other side of that coin is the day after he knocked Paddy Doherty unconscious in 4 seconds, he reached out to Paddy, asked him was he feeling ok and if he'd ever like to come down to Dublin to train he'd be more than welcome. After every victory or defeat, Conor has consistently shown empathy, compassion and humility for others. The images of him picking himself off the deck after the Diaz fight and how he handled a setback in life should be just as inspiring to us as how he handled his victory over Doherty. People on here try to embarrass and shame me for being such a "fanboy" of Conor's but the truth is the first word in "living vicariously" is "living". Just like Conor was being told to give up on his dream, for a long time I've had parts of my brain telling me to just 'give up' completely. I'm grateful to have a passion and to draw inspiration to persevere and truck onwards. Achieving greatness is a very subjective thing but right now, for me, it's just living I really hope he beats Floyd on August 26th because if he does it won't be because he lands a lucky left hook - it'll be because he refused to quit on his dreams, never stopped believing in himself and never stopping working as hard as he could to achieve them. That's the message we should be teaching our children.
