Former two-weight boxing world champion Paulie Malignaggi has been a common name seen in the media headlines recently. The reasons being Malignaggi’s boxing career tethered to his controversial experience in Conor McGregor’s<\/a> training camp for his mega-million dollar fight<\/a> against Floyd Mayweather.<\/p>\n

Malignaggi is no longer helping with McGregor’s training camp as he removed himself<\/a> after they had a fallout when less than flattering photos of Malignaggi were released from their sparring session. However, Malignaggi’s insight of what he experienced during the training camp is something the media and fans can’t get enough of.<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

Malignaggi recently spoke on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd”<\/a> and revealed some interesting details on McGregor’s habits that are considered dirty in the sport of boxing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing Conor has to understand – and you see that in that clip that they sent out – it wasn\u2019t so much that he\u2019s landing shots because most of the shots are missing,” said Malignaggi (transcribed by Jed Meshew for MMA Fighting<\/a>). If anything, they\u2019ve shot themselves in the foot because all the dirty stuff he does that the referee will actually warn him for. In that particular sparring session, there\u2019s no judges, but he lost two points from that particular sparring session for fouls, for rabbit punching and hitting behind the head and pushing behind the head.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the reason McGregor’s camp has brought in referee Joe Cortez in to ref the sparring sessions. Although getting pointers and learning what isn’t allowed in boxing, Malignaggi says McGregor may be too used to some of his inside fighting techniques used in MMA.<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he really has to learn is to try to keep it within the rules because he\u2019s a little bit confused as to what he\u2019s doing in there. He\u2019s a little bit confused, especially on the inside as you can see on that tape. He\u2019s trying to grab and push the head down. Inside fighting in boxing is very different from inside fighting in mixed martial arts. You can\u2019t grab. You actually have to know what you\u2019re doing on the inside. . .<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Conor has to learn to turn punches over but more than that he needs to learn how to keep it clean. He\u2019s gonna get himself disqualified if he keeps punching behind the head and pushing the head down. He needs to understand that inside fighting in boxing is different than inside fighting in mixed martial arts.\u201d<\/p>\n
