Malignaggi, who had previously stated that no knockdowns occurred during his sparring with McGregor, immediately took to social media where he defended himself through a plethora of tweets.
McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh had initially taken the high road by thanking “The Magic Man” for his services in helping prepare Conor for the Mayweather bout.
However, “Coach Kav” eventually decided to take a small parting shot at Paulie with the following post on Twitter.

“Reality hits you hard when you been spinning the truth all training camp. Setting yourself up for a very bad fall from grace in 2 weeks.”
Paul Malignaggi seems genuinely confident that Conor McGregor will be exposed on August 26 when he squares off with undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather. With that said the “Magic Man” continued to vent his frustrations on social media.
