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)
