Paddy Still Believe He Beats Illia

[Wormwood]

"Heavy, hand sanitizer boy with the win," Pimblett said on his YouTube channel. "Heavy. Well done, Ilia. Give you your due, lad, 16-0 hand sanitizer boy. I can't wait for him to come back up to lightweight. I still think I'd beat him, I really do. I still think I beat him, lad.

"Whether he just beat Max Holloway or not, I still think I'd beat him by kicking him on the feet or taking him down and submitting him, but I genuinely think I'd beat him. Congrats, Ilia Topuria. Well done, son. Congratulations, lad."

Paddy vs Illia at 155. Who wins?

Can’t blame a fighter for believing in their abilities, but I don’t think Paddy offers anything to beat Illia (besides the size difference - Paddy seems to be on the bigger end of LW’s). Interesting to see what each has accomplished since their squabble.

He's supposed to believe he can win, can't knock him for that.

Paddy is easily THE BIGGEST LW, not just seems to be on the bigger end

Ilia in one. Ilia blows him out the water. Ilia breaks his face.

 

[Elegant]

Imagine the meltdown if Paddy were to beat him though lol

 

[El Fernas]

They are in very far points in their careers now, back then it was the fight to make but i guess even then Topuria might had beat Pimblett, at the moment makes no sense but what else is Pimblett going to say? Keep the "beef" going.

Yup… added that in. Can’t knock a fighter for being confident in their abilities.

 

[BoxingFan653]

But can he beat Jared Gordon?

 

[jk7707]

Topuria is a smaller FW. I'm not saying Paddy would beat him, but he'd be much, MUCH bigger if that fight happened. He'd at least have a small chance. But it won't because Paddy missed his chance for this fight now that Topuria has flatlined two of the best FW's ever. Unless he plans on beating Islam first.

My reaction:

 

[Through The Looking Glass]

Paddy is underrated because of 3 reasons

Stupid hair cut
Close fight with Flash Gordon
Stupid walkout

Hand-Sanitizer Boy has to be the weirdest insult I've heard in a while

What was their squabble? I guess I don't follow Paddy's news enough to know

 

[deadshot138]

Paddy's big for 155. I think he overwhelms Topuria

[Laheys'Liquorland]

Nah bro the video he tried to give Ilia his flowers still reeked of someone fearful of fighting him now after seen what Ilia truly is.
He's saving PR face but he will never fight him, he knows he dodged a bullet in hindsight.

 

[HatKick]

Paddy is not that bad and getting better in each fight. But he still gets ktfo by Topuria.

 

[TITS]

Paddy serves his chin to Ilia on a silver platter. Topuria splits Pimbelman's wig inside 45 seconds.

 

[ElLunico]

Not competitive. They're not on the same level. Ilia takes the sport serious and is highly disciplined and dedicated.

No sure how it started (or maybe I just don’t remember), but they had a back and forth going for a bit. I believe Paddy said something about Georgia and it escalated from there.

[Contempt]

Paddy the fatty is utterly delusional and he would probably be the only opponent that would actually make me support Toppy in a fight.
