Boxing champ praises Conor McGregor, but 'was not impressed with Aldo'

In a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, boxing champion Keith Thurman discusses Conor McGregor's knockout victory over Jose Aldo at UFC 194 last year.

Conor McGregor became the UFC featherweight champion at UFC 194 late last year, and he did so in impressive fashion. The Irish star finished longtime titleholder Jose Aldo in record-breaking time -- only 13-seconds into the five-round main event.

Despite the length of the mega-fight, just about every witness of it was impressed with the new champion's performance, including current WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman.

"So, McGregor did his thing in his 13-second performance," Thurman told Fight Hub TV.
