It's very important, but Paulie was the one talking trash to Conor about walking off a couch and working him because he had no pro boxing experience
Let's assume Paulie has been doing no training and living a good life chilling.
Are y'all really finna sit up here and internalize some kind of W from a fully prepared fighter in peak physical and mental condition going 7-5 with a guy who's body prolly started to fight with him after the first round because his diet and training regimen for the last 4 months looks like it consists of 5 guys, Microbrews and netflix binging?
If anything it just goes to show how trash McGregor is in my eyes. Paulie had to have been working him just to make his energy drain to the point where he wasn't dominating him by round 8.
And honestly, when I think about it, it makes sense that Paulie saw this as a great opportunity to get himself back into shape and help Conor out in the progress, so all this shyt has really just shown me what a trash person Conor is.
