“I enjoy getting punched”- Paddy Pimblett is ready to put everything on the line everytime he fights
He talked about his fighting approach while talking on The Pat McAfee show, he said, “That’s just how I am sometimes. I was disappointed in my performance, I felt like I should have went out there and blasted him out in a round. I know I still finished him, finished someone that’s never been finished before.”
Paddy added, “He’s had 11 pro fights, lost one, and never been finished and I choked his a**. He got dealt with like I knew he was going to get dealt with. I said the whole time he’s going to get finished, I thought it was going to be a knockout but he defends punches well, it’s quite weird. He doesn’t like to defend them in a skillful way, but he defends them well and then he just grabs a hold of you.”
“I can fight like that every time. I’m a big, fat bastard at the minute, but if someone rang me now and said, ‘Get outside for a straightener,’ I’d be out there beating them up. I enjoy getting punched and punching people in the face. It sounds very weird, but I enjoy it,” Paddy concluded.
