Floyd Mayweather defeated Conor McGregor in the hyped mega-bout between the greatest fighter of his generation and an opponent who ascended to the top of the mixed martial arts world but was participating in the first boxing match of his career.
Floyd Mayweather scored the 50th win of his illustrious career, defeating Conor McGregor by 10th-round TKO on Saturday night in Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
When the fight reached the halfway point, McGregor began looking visibly fatigued and Mayweather sensed an opening. He showed a level of aggression rarely seen in his previous 49 fights. As per the SHO Stats, Mayweather had landed 132 punches compared to 80 for McGregor entering the 10th round.
Not a typical Mayweather fight–can't remember the last time I saw him move forward like this–but he seems to be in control now.

In the 10th round, Mayweather really went on the offensive, and McGregor had no answer for the barrage. After Mayweather landed a series of blows without reply from McGregor, referee Robert Byrd called for the bell.
Mayweather told Showtime Sports’ Jim Gray he had underestimated McGregor’s abilities coming into the night, per UFC’s official Twitter account:

Mayweather, surpass the iconic benchmark he shared with legendary heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano. It was the first knockout in nine fights since 2011 for Mayweather, who is regarded as perhaps the greatest defensive specialist in boxing history.
“He’s a tough competitor,” said Mayweather, who came out of retirement for this fight. “I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see. He was better than I thought.”
The 9th round was the most dominant round by Mayweather, when he landed virtually at will as McGregor appeared dazed, desperately trying to stay upright.
“Our game plan was to take our time,” Mayweather said. “We wanted him to shoot his heavy shots at the beginning. I guaranteed everyone this fight wouldn’t go the distance.”
“He’s composed,” McGregor, 29, said of Mayweather. “That’s it. He’s not fast. He’s not powerful. He’s just composed.”

Round-by-round Fight Details:
Round 10: Fight is stopped midway through round with Floyd Mayweather scoring a 10th-round TKO.
Round 9: Mayweather, 10-9. Mayweather’s most dominating round. He wobbled McGregor and came forward at will while McGregor was constantly retreating.
Round 8: Mayweather, 10-9. Another solid round from Mayweather, who landed several combinations. McGregor, however, at least looked like he was getting his legs back somewhat.
Round 7: Mayweather, 10-9. Mayweather’s boxing superiority showed in his best round of the fight. All the meaningful strikes came from the champion.
Round 6: Mayweather, 10-9. Tide continued to turn in Mayweather’s favor. The champion now has McGregor, who’s clearly fading, off-balance and rarely able to find his target.
Round 5: Mayweather, 10-9. Mayweather had issues getting off his punches but still won the round based on sheer volume. McGregor is starting to lean on Mayweather without throwing much.
Round 4: Mayweather, 10-9. Mayweather finally scores with counterpunches in by far his best round of the fight. McGregor appears to be slowing a bit.
Round 3: McGregor, 10-9. More switching stances while delivering punches gives McGregor the third round. Mayweather has yet to land cleanly and looks confused.
Round 2: McGregor, 10-9. McGregor continued to apply more pressure and was the much more active fighter. He also switched stances, which seemingly caught Mayweather off-guard.
Round 1: McGregor, 10-9. While Mayweather most was measuring his opponent, McGregor landed the cleanest shot of the round with an uppercut counterpunch.
The two fighters signed a confidentiality agreement, so their full earnings are unlikely to ever be revealed, but ESPN.com’s Dan Rafael reported Mayweather will take home a purse of at least $100 million, while McGregor will make a minimum of $30 million.

David Srna score card
have a read ! he done well
Andre Roberts
Drama
Mayweather won the fight but those judges scoring cards were way different than the commentators scoring cards. Vegas had way too much money to lose if Connor won. I think those judges were their little insurance policy just in case.
Right?? Floyd threw 6 punches in round 2!
Lol u for real. McGregor got pumped, he struggled the whole fight, bearly landed a good punch.
The only thing he did was ciuddle
Lol yes I’m for real John Untan. Let me guess…. I’ll go out on a limb and say you were rooting for Mayweather? lol
Well said.
Daniel McLaughlin he hardly threw any punches at all until the end. That fight was a joke and a scam for money. Gloried sparing match. Conor was hugging him the entire time in the last rounds because he was so gassed out. Boxing is an art mma is just a street fight.
I would rather watch MMA any day of the week over that crap. Sorry Justin, but it takes much more skill to be in MMA than it does throwing punches with bobbing and weaving.
heck yes
That’s why he lost cause he a mma fighting with more skill yea right
I absolutley agree. We all knew there was no way it was gonna be a fair fight. The ref. Proved it to me. There was no knock out!!!!
BOOM go back to mma.
Boom still a better all around fighter. They should take it to the street and see what happens. They won’t though cuz they are both friends who just made millions. MMA>boxing
1. Exactly all a $$ fight you could see how they were smiling during. 2. Noones goin to street coz McGregor wanted the fight not mayweather so he had to do it in the square circle.
A typical boxing bullshit “show”!!
Thanks:)
Conor won first 3 then floyed every round after dont know bout him loseing any after the 3 he always loses first 2-3 on purpose to feel out his opponent. But mcgregor still did a mean job to do what he did in first 3 did better than most expected. But then mayweather did what he always does best
CM won the early rounds because FM let him and he threw a tiny amount of punches.
Cardio wins fights and Money knew CM wouldn’t last 12
Boxing will be gone within the year. Fuck Mayweather. We can only hope his plane crashes
Scott Coghlan
Congrats to all who payed money for this stupid shit,…..all of you are morons!!!!!!!
Sean Campbell
Yeah Agreed
Richard Butcher look at the scorecard
McNuggets will run like a girl from this fight

1st 4 McGregor. Boxing could not afford the loss. Caked way early. McGregor may have effed up losing in the long run, but c’mon. Called quick.
Yup
Called because he was about to go to sleep. Boxers don’t fight the first 3 to 4 rounds there called feel out rounds. Connor got fooked but a 40 year old who hadn’t fought in some time and has bad hands.
Похуй
It was actually funny how inferior and pathetic Conor looked to a 40 year old boxer who wasn’t even trying and didn’t even throw any real punches until the end. Conor had to hug him non stop just to stand up because he was so gassed out.
Anyone else agree?
Yea, but its no accident. Mayweather is one of the all time best defensive fighters in the history of the sport. How could the plan not be gas him out and then let it rain ?
McGregor could be dangerous fresh, but if you let him get tired while being careful to not take heavy damage, the one throwing all the punches is using the most energy.
I give McGregor credit, 10 rounds is more than i would have gave him. MMA fighters dont train for 12 rounds, McGregor must have put in some real work to punch for 10.
McGregor only lasted ten rounds because Floyd didn’t even try. McGregor was gassed out after 3 rounds it was a joke. They are both laughing all the way to the bank though.
Conor looked like a child in the ring lol
Dude that’s where the experience of Floyd came in. But you can’t deny that Conor gave a good fight. He’s the first guy in a long time that had Floyd go on the offensive. Was a good fight can’t take that away from him. Floyd definitely tried and he did take shots. He has experience that’s where when he was getting hit he ducked way down to where the only possible contact would be a “hammer punch” and that where it helped him. Hence the experience of boxing rules comes in
These pro boxers have been boxing since they were little kids. Boxing is an art and can’t even be compared to MMA. The cardio alone showed that. Like I said before Conor was totally gassed out after three rounds and probably would’ve just dropped from exhaustion if it went another round. He would’ve been totally gassed out even faster if they wore heavier gloves.
Yeah but just to put it in perspective….. if Mayweather jumped in the octagon then I would have money on it not lasting 1 round….. I wanted Mayweather to win this purely because boxing is a purist sport and if a crossover like macgreggor came out victorious then I felt it would tarnish such a great sport (in its own right) but reality is that Mayweather would not fair as well crossing over as macgreggor has done and that deserves respect ✊ great fight for different reasons by both warriors 👍👍👍
Lets put things in perspective here
Lmao you didn’t watch the fight
Ben Baker fully mayweather wasn’t even trying just did what he did to stretch the fight out for the fans mate ….
I thought I was watching WWE it was so staged. Floyd DID NOT TRY AT ALL. He always fights with his one glove tucked under his chin in a sideways stance and he wasn’t even doing that. This fight really shows how ignorant people are when it comes to having any knowledge about the sport of boxing. It’s mostly millennials so I’m not at all surprised.
Flex, I can’t argue with your views of the fight, but just for fun, how do you think Connor would do against maybe the current number 5 ranked boxer(not one of the top 10 of all time like Mayweather)? Do you really think Connor is so bad that he would get beat badly by the number 5 guy or do you think it would be a real and competitive fight? I kinda think Connor would fair well against a mere mortal fighter, especially with this fights experience under him and another chance to amp up his boxing conditioning.
Say what you want but at least he went out of his element and gave it a shot. That’s more than mayweather would do. Mayweather would have won unless called nor knocked him out.
Tom Longworth I think he would get destroyed by a 17 year old golden glove boxer.
Kelvin Laing he lasted ten rounds because it was staged lol seriously. Go on YouTube and watch one of Floyds fights against Cotto, Miguel Alvarez, Del la Hoya, pretty much anyone. You’ll see for yourself how he really boxes. Floyd wasn’t even sweating and was laughing between rounds with his coaches while Conor was huffing and puffing after 3 rounds and was getting covered in ice packs because he was so over heated and exhausted.
Justin Flex thank U !!
The guy got knocked like a punching bag in the end. Floyd wasn’t even getting warmed up yet. Don’t understand why the discussion about points when match was over with such clear tko (would be lights-out-KO 1-2 punches later)..
Then they should have let him put him out. Mayweather won but still an early stoppage.
Nicolai Orbesen told you Mayweather ville vinde
Lol
Worlds best fitness super fan right here
Nicholas Glynn Daniel Smith Gabe Fraser
There’s no way Mcgregor didn’t win the first three rounds even Floyd admits that Conor got the first three rounds. Boxing judges are horrible and the ref calling the fight early was bad too even though yeah I know Conor was gonna lose anyway
Stamina is key and experience knowing that made TMT win
Go back to ufc gregor
Yes…we want him back. All time greatest!!!!
Just look at that head movement from Connor. Almost got out of the way of that hook. Fook him he gives Irish a bad name.
And how all your comments would reverse if mayweather had the balls to step into mcgregors ring.
Exactly, youll get no rap from em there,lol. That skinny fool wouldnt make it 30 seconds in a full contact fight.
The thing is dawg that McGregor gets his ass whooped all the time. Floyd “Money’ Mayweather never got his ass whooped.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda whatever! He challenged floyd and lost, period! Talked all that shit about knocking him out but who got saved by the ref?
Well the thing is mcgregor was so sure he would win, trashtalking mayweather etc and he lost. Mayweather wouldnt stand a chance in mma but im pretty sure he wouldnt trashtalk and act like a douche like mcgregor did
I think you mean arrogance, not balls.
Don’t mean shit…Floyd is too smart to do that , unfortunately u can’t say the same for McGregor .. he thought he was gone breeze thru ..😂😂😂 nahhhhhhhhhb 😂😂

Ibrahim Jber
Conor get 100+ million dollars 🙂
Id let tjat clown hit me for 50k
Let this be a lesson that Conor needs to stick to MMA. Conor also needs to watch his mouth because if he were to fight a Canelo or Golovkin…..shit would be a lot worse.
Mayweather hit him so hard snot came out his nose
Fuck the score card cuz there wasn’t a single point taking from mcgayer for a The hits and pounds to the back of the head ect ect
Frankie Musgrave
Money Mayweather beat that over-rated chit talking nobody like a red-headed stepchild… I guess he spent all those welfare checks he received for years on tats…
James I got your 20, but sounds like McGregor could dominate in boxing as well.
I was reading a article from Oscar De La Hoya talking about sponsors needing 8-9 rounds to make some real money. Im torn man!?.. it would be nice to see these guys fight for free or for peanuts to really see what would Happen. But when the loser makes $200 million? We never will
Agreed James Patrick. McGregor holding back on punches for sure. He hits 4x the force of this. But when its for a payday and I’m sure there’s some untold arrangement to take it easy make it last. Unbiased opinion i think if there was peanuts up for grabs, a title, and/or additional massive bonus to finish opponent within 5 rounds it’ll be McGregor
Kyle Jones
Fuck the judges score card the the foul mouth Irishman got what he desered a fucking good beating, mma is not a sport its for thugs and street fighter’s
The worst paid preview that I have ever paid they are both nothing but a joke an took advantage of all the fans McGregor not even throwing hard punches what a disappointment
Those dudes are 150 lbs each. Couldn’t knock out a miniature poodle.
Robert D Miller
“According to Compubox figures, McGregor had a 51-40 advantage in total punches landed through the first five rounds. But from the sixth round on, Mayweather landed 130 punches compared to McGregor’s 60. All told, Money connected on 152 of his power punches and landed those forceful blows at a 58 percent clip.Conversely, McGregor was 84 of 332 on power punches—good for a conversion rate of just over 25 percent—against one of the top defensive fighters in the sport’s history.”
Told you Bob MCGreggor boy. No chance
Set up fight.
