That wasn’t enough for Malignaggi, however, who went on another Twitter rant claiming that only twenty seconds were shown of a 36-minute sparring session.

Honestly he disguises it better than I thought or it the angle of the vid, in real time in gym no one thought knockdown we just continued. https://t.co/hXU6Cg37xe

U don't see his right hand dragging me behind my neck to the right where his lead right foot from southpaw stance is? Notoriously blind bro. https://t.co/HFebzWIK07

What I been saying still holds true, he gets 11 and 12 of which he shows footage and the "knockdown" is right hand draggin me down. 36 min.

They have rights to the footage, I've gone over all 20 rounds, he hasn't released anything I didn't already discuss from the start. https://t.co/1wKribHArl

That was round 12 which I've openly discussed I was fatigued and lost. The "knockdown" however watch his right hand drag me from behind neck https://t.co/UBttH2QPxL

Having said that nothing I've said from the start has been proven different from what actually happens. Footage confirms it, now the rest? https://t.co/UBttH2QPxL

Nice view of angles, as I said, none of this footage released 2nite denies anything I haven't already said from the start. 36 minutes. https://t.co/XjJ33QjE1D

All love, if it's a knockdown I would admit. I had already admitted 11 n 12 were no good for me. I also stand by the 36 min as a whole tho. https://t.co/9N53xHBg8u

Long as it comes out right? Tonight's footage showed nothing that I hadn't already said myself about everything. https://t.co/cRbywONsBZ
