Pimblett’s big advantage
“He’s (Pimblett’s) not that good in the standup. He’s not that big (of a) power puncher, he’s faster,” McCarthy said. “That’s the problem that I see in this fight for Tony. Paddy’s faster… (But) if you take a look at (Pimblett’s wins), name me the name where you go, ‘Wow!’ There you go.
“The speed is an absolute concern in this fight. If Paddy fights smart and tries to stay on his bike on the outside and just uses speed to get in and land shots, then he’s got a great shot of winning the fight,” McCarthy added.
