Yes! That's the one, and as the camera zooms out showing the endless hordes coming to fight Conor, we hear Papa Roach's "Last Resort."

This is cool, during his workout Mayweather noticed Esther Lin was stuck near the back behind other photographers, so he stopped, walked up to her, and pulled her up to the front to shoot right in front of him.

He's powering up for a Hadouken it's a special attack move which is sometimes used in boxing if a fighter knows the right button combinations

Releasing this was probably more about taking the focus off of that media workout and getting people to pour over two 15 second clips like they were the Zparuder Film or something.

he can have a bunch of punches slipped by and then grab a guy who's clearly taking a breather because sparring partners don't box 12 rounds straight

So did McGregor go from having no shot to having at least a little bit of chance of not dying in the ring vs Mayweather?

The odds of Conor dying are pretty slim unless fighting for 12 rounds causes him to topple over like Dada 5000

I think that it's quite impressive that in a boxing match between one of the greatest to ever take part in the sport and a dude who has never had a boxing match, Paulie Malignaggi is the most owned person of all despite not being really related to this situation with a simply Rockhold-esque performance before the fight even happened.

Lil bit. Everyone was falling all over themselves to say Conor isn't a boxer. Clearly he is, so what now?

Well I guess from what I see Paulie isn't Mayweather good but he's not a nobody so Connor maybe has some shot of hanging with Mayweather and not looking like dog vomit?

Which may actually be a win for Connor? I mean Mayweather doesn't have a lot of options. He can't really win in a split decision after 12 rounds.
