Didn't McGregor release footage of him against some tall southpaw boxer in the leadup to the Diaz rematch, and the boxer in question called him out on editing the footage?That didn't look like a legit knockdown. But I also doubt that Conor was whipping Paulie's ass like he claims. An egomaniac like Conor would have definitely released the full footage if it made him look good. Hell, he would have made it a PPV to see it.

If he was completely sure Paulie was an ease shot he would had accepted a fight with him as soon as the sparring day ended.That didn't look like a legit knockdown.

Yep, that was Van Heerden.
In the unedited version, he handles Conor without much trouble. And Chris is kind of a serviceable pro, continental level. Spence battered him without breaking a sweat.
Non-jetlagged Paulie in a boxing match would put Conor in the morgue.
Sources say that Paulie actually knocked Conor out so badly in their sparring session that his fight with Mayweather was in jeopardy. They worried that the brain damaged he received at the hands of Paulie would prevent him from getting cleared to fight. Luckily Uncle Bobby Dana greased some palms in Vegas and the fight went on regardless. This is why Conor has never released the full footage; shortly after Paulie tripped, he started clowning Conor and put him to sleep.
