Paddy isn't wrong. Tony's cardio is elite and always has been. The only time I've questioned his mental toughness was against Nate -- where he looked bad even by the standards of his current skid -- but in his next fight against Bobby he looked considerably better in that regard.
Unless there is something in Tony's mental game inside the gym that I'm not privy to, I don't know what him training his two best attributes to an even higher degree does for him at this point of his career. Especially since a lot of those workouts looked rough as hell for a guy his age, with a busted knee, and a fight camp coming up. At best I think you get severely diminished returns or a limited placebo effect, at worst it'll be actively detrimental.
Stylistically this is still Paddy's fight to lose. Unless he tries to stand and strike with Tony for 15 minutes he holds most of the cards IMO.
