Malignaggi wouldn't give a full breakdown of the sparring session, as that is generally frowned upon in combat sports circles, but he did say:"Eight rounds, good work. I can’t disclose too much but McGregor is no dummy... There’s a method to his madness. He has an idea of what he wants to do and how he wants to do it, he’s not clueless. He’s not your conventional boxer by any means but he’s capable and his power is good. On the flipside, it would be unprofessional and ill advised for Malignaggi to call out McGregor's shortcomings–assuming there were any.
