Paulie Malignaggi says he will knock out McGregor in the 10th if their fight is okayed.
Malignaggi is McGregor’s ex-sparring partner. He helped him for a very short period of time prepare for his fight against Mayweather last August. Malignaggi bailed training camp in a huff after sparring photos were leaked to social media. The photos, which weren’t flattering to Malignaggi, spread like a wildfire.
In the pictures, Malignaggi was on the canvas looking like he’d been knocked down by McGregor. In another photo, Malignaggi’s face was swollen up and he was taking shots from McGregor.
McGregor has officially called out the 36-year-old Malignaggi and offered him to come and fight in the octagon. Malignaggi sees this move as an example of McGregor trying to swerve the fight with him rather than accepting the challenge to fight him.
“Now he has to try and swerve and take detours, talking all the time that we’re going to go in the octagon,” said Malignaggi to ES News reporting. “He’s the one that said it was so easy. If it was so easy, then you’ve got to box me now. You’ve got to back that up now, don’t you? Now he’s swerving. Now he’s trying to call an audible. He’s trying to go in another direction while still trying to fight me. It’s not going to work that way. I’m not one of those broke [expletive] bums. I make a good living. I’m going to dictate the terms of what we’re doing,” said Malignaggi. (Boxingnews)
