"I don't know what he expected coming in here after speaking what he was speaking and the things he was saying. "Even still, I didn't disrespect him. I only released one picture. I didn't release no connecting to the face shots or footage of him getting slapped around - because he got slapped around. He got badly, badly slapped around. "He was knocked around. The ropes held him up multiple times and he was badly concussed. The sparring partners that were in the house were worried about him that night, saying, 'He's incoherent. He's stumbling'. It didn't go good for him."https://twitter.com/ConormcGregor5/status/893259037520912384 Malignaggi told The MMA Hour, earlier this week, that he had gone off on one after he had been summoned to the gym, the next day, only to be told there would be no sparring sessions. He also declared himself the winner of the second sparring bout and said his opponent 'whimpers like a girl' when punched to the body. McGregor believes the recently retired boxer and Showtime pundit fell foul of something that happens to many fighters after a rough contest. Watching the footage back, McGregor said:
"I was actually doing him a favour [not sharing footage] because he was rattled earlier and stumbling into the ropes. "In my mind it [his claims] were concussion talk. You know when you're in there and your head rattles, you don't actually understand what has happened. You think a certain situation happened and it didn't. "So, I don't know. He got his ass whipped, the poor boy, and that's it."We fully expect Malignaggi to respond to the 12-0 claims over the coming days and weeks. It would be interesting to hear on his take on the concussion comments and whether he was properly assessed by medics after the second session.
