Gon fix it with me hammer

05:41 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. Guardian’s unofficial score: Mayweather 10-9 McGregor (Mayweather 67-66 McGregor)

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. Guardian’s unofficial score: Mayweather 10-9 McGregor (Mayweather 77-75 McGregor)

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. Guardian’s unofficial score: Mayweather 10-9 McGregor (Mayweather 87-84 McGregor)

Done.
Mayweather. Doesn't look like he even broke a sweat.

05:52 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.

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.

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.

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....

CM has nothing to be ashamed of after tonight. He lasted 10 rounds w a world champion boxer and went out on his feet. Yes, he was about to be knocked out but still, an amazing performance that absolutely no one else in his sport could have pulled off, IMO. Major respect for the guy.

just seen the fight : meh... for all the hype they did over this.
For all the money that exchanged hands. It did not convince me. First 5 rounds Floyd just let Connor wear himself moving fast and setting up for moves he couldn't do anyway. Like expending power but still having the brakes on because it's not MMA and he could not do what he would normally do Last 5 rounds Floyd kept up his pace, Connor slowed down and that was it. Mostly as was predicted... They all made a lot of money And a lot of people payed for a very expensive exhibition match.
