Round four

Conor peppers Floyd with some body shots - one is a little south of the torso in the forbidden place and Floyd lets the ref know. On two minutes, Conor lands a big left but Mayweather counters and catches his opponent a few times. Floyd is coming forward more now and pushing the pace a little. Conor’s punches are starting to look more tired - they’re almost pushed. Conor still leads overall on my card though.

Round five

Floyd is out of his corner first to start the fifth - not bad for a 40-year-old. Conor is proving an awkward opponent for Floyd - coming in at odd angles and using his weight advantage in clinches. If this goes deep and Conor is still ahead Floyd could be in trouble - he is not a knockout puncher these days by any means. A good left from Mayweather with 30 seconds left of the round.

Round six

Whatever happens now, Conor has won respect. Floyd turns his back on McGregor and he gets rocked. The veteran looks far less calm than the rookie. But Mayweather comes forward and catches McGregor with some good blows and the Irishman’s hands drop. Conor sticks his tongue out and chuckles - he’s having fun. $100m worth of fun. It’s even on my scorecard going into the seventh.

Round seven

And we’re into the second half of the fight. Conor hasn’t KO’d his opponent like he said he would - but this is more impressive than a victory through a wild punch. Remember that MMA fights don’t last as long as 12-round boxing contests so endurance could tell. Then again, Floyd is 40...

Conor turns Floyd again - a lot of shoving from the Irishman and he looks tired. Floyd catches him with a few more - and Conor’s punches look a little slow and sluggish.

Round eight

A lovely sidestep from Conor to avoid Mayweather’s blow - he looks light on his feet still but it’s his arms that appear tired: he’s just not hurting Floyd. That said, the Irishman gets a few blows in before Floyd counters. He ends the round an uppercut before Conor follows a right to the body with a head shot. Floyd’s round ... just.

Round nine

Conor has never fought for so long in a single professional fight. Maybe he knows he needs to go for the knockout because he charges out for the start of the round. He appears to have got in a big body blow but he’s warned for a low blow. As the fighters are separated, Conor puts in a late blow. With around 90 seconds to go, Conor check the clock and Floyd gathers hmself and comes in for the kill. He’s picking the Irishman off at will now and Conor tries to go into the clinch. The rookie’s hands are dropping. This could be over soon.

MacGregor is out of gas.

Done.

Mayweather.

Doesn't look like he even broke a sweat.

Floyd Mayweather wins by TKO!

I think Conor needs a KO now to win - but as he tires he’s losing any kind of power in his punches. It’s his lack of experience at a fight going this long that’s really hurting him. And Floyd comes forward - he’s rocked by a big right. The Irishman doesn’t go down though and continues. But his legs have gone and Floyd goes in for the kill - and the ref stops it.

classic irish, a lot of ****talking but not delivering

Thanks for all the updates. Must admit, McGregor hung in longer than I thought he would. May they both enjoy the payday...

Ref was right to stop it.

MacGregor was defenseless.

Strategy,

MacGregor is not used to this long a bout.

If you are a defensive fighter like Mayweather you can afford to let a guy have a few rounds and let him punch himself out which is what happened here.

Called in the middle of round 10.

I agree but I was wanting to see the irish fellow on the mat. it was only two more right hands away. Mayweather looks flat as hell for the first three but then lit him up in true champ style.

+1

Conner had not thrown an offensive counter punch in over a minute.

Ref did his job.

The whole thing was ridiculous from the start. There is no way an MMA fighter is gonna beat a boxer in a boxing bout. Its ridiculous. And a guy that is undefeated as well!

As fixed as boxing is, and many will say that this match had to have Floyd win for the sake of the sports honor. It wouldn't have to be fixed. The champ boxer will win at boxing.

Looks like they both walked away with a nice purse and rightfully so.

Now, how about Floyd going octagon? Put him up against MacGregor in an MMA bout? Hmmmmm....

Submitted in under a minute! :)

yep.
