Floyd Mayweather improved his unbeaten boxing record to
50-0 with a TKO (technical knockout) win over Ultimate Fighting Championship
(UFC) star Conor McGregor on Saturday night, as the most anticipated boxing
match in years delivered the result that most expected, but also delivered on
entertainment.
The Irish underdog began strongly, outboxing Mayweather in
the first round and controlling the pace of the early rounds, using his height
and reach advantage.
As the bout progressed however, McGregor began to tire, and
Mayweather’s class began to shine through.
The tide well and truly turned in Mayweather’s favour in
Round 9, as McGregor began to visibly fatigue, stumbling at times and barely
managing to survive the round.
Round 10 turned out to be the last round of the much-hyped
superfight, with the referee halting the bout after McGregor ate several
precise Mayweather blows.
