Round 10.

Mayweather WINS !!!!!!

Stoppage in the 10th.

McGregor did very very well but just ran out of steam.

Mayweather on points

McGregor hitting fast with pretty footwork but Mayweather hitting heavy...tiredness is going to affect McGregor more, on both points and ability to end the fight.

Edit - Ha! And it's all over.

My stream keeps breaking and I'm listening to the commentary

Pissed off at the stream tbh

Easy in the end for Mayweather.

I strongly think it's this "Rocky factor" that is the reason so many people are betting on him and thinking he has a chance. Life isn't a hollywood movie. They are finding 'experts' to say maybe he has a chance as well because guess what? It's good PPV.

Mayweather will win, he just will. Period. Like McGregor isn't even a boxer, he's never even boxed professionally and is against arguably the best boxer of all time. It's ridiculous. :P

Carl Froch was a dick on commentary. Barely contained his disgust at the whole affair.

Sure McGregor was an amateur but Froch gave him no respect at all.

Your Face

Do you ever get the feeling that Vince McMahon is in control of all combat sports?

Mayweather on points

It always looked like McGregor tiring and dropping a gear or Mayweather ramping it up a notch would signal the end...

McGregor definitely didn't embarrass himself - now to collect that monster purse!

Mayweather too strong, conor did his best but out of his depth against one of the best boxers.

At least he didn't embarrass himself.

Jesus mayweather doesn't look in the least bit tired or bruised after that. Easy work for him

Pretty much.

TKO in the 10th.

Conor saved by the ref from any further punishment. Slightly premature ending? but Conor wasn't hitting back, he wasn't punching back against Mayweather, just receiving punches, so the ref stopped it....

Got the fight on BBC Radio 5L (Satellite dish).
Brilliant.

Yes he did. Don't let the fact that Mayweather allowed him to survive that long fool you. McGregor was pathetic.

I've seen more boxing technique in a fight night at the local GAA sports hall than I saw from McGregor tonight.

He was a joke but he made serious money. Job done.

Draw

Mayweather seems like a really level-headed guy while McGregor as we all know is a bit outlandish. When Mayweather says he knows he's going to beat him I believed Mayweather. Almost every other professional boxer also said there was no question. There was always a chance Mayweather could have had some horrible sickness or something, but then he was 49-0... it's the consistency of him. Tyson ridiculed it, if anyone would know it's him.

Also UFC is a totally new sport, while boxers have been studying older boxers for decades and building on all of what they did. That means a lot of them are very strategic and smart. So they're going through all those old fights since they were children, and being the best in the world at it. Mayweather has been boxing since he was a baby. I have a bit more respect for boxing as an art because UFC is in its infancy... but most of all he was taking on the best boxer in the world at his own game.

I was cheering for McGregor of course, but in the end it was obvious who the professional boxer was.

Mayweather K.O.

You just don't step into the ring with arguably the greatest pound for pound boxer of all time and expect to win.

A totally different discipline. It was an achievement for Conor to hang for 10 rounds with Mayweather, even if he was getting his arse bet for 8 of them.

I have IPTV-choice, it's about €50 for six months. Sometimes it's hit or miss with buffering and I wouldn't recommend it with my connection but it worked fine tonight.

That's why he didn't embarrass himself. It's not like he was knocked out after three seconds like Dunne years ago.

Bit harsh no? No doubt that Mayweather was always going to win, but according to CompuBox McGregor landed 111 punches.

Is a lad down your local GAA hall going to do that too?

Did you even see the type of punches he was throwing? They were more slaps than punches.

I saw him land some good shots in the first three rounds, but as fatigue set in, he wasn't throwing anything that would concern Mayweather.

I just thought your "pathetic" comment was a bit harsh.
