It didn't look the way most of us thought, but Floyd Mayweather Jr. did what he said he would. He knocked out Conor McGregor in the 10th round, but the UFC lightweight champion did himself proud considering his lack of boxing experience and the caliber of opponent he faced. Mayweather stayed composed throughout the fight and gradually turned up the heat beginning in the fourth round. By the time the ninth round came, McGregor was flailing and flopping around the ring with no energy. McGregor escaped the ninth round, but in the 10th, a series of unanswered blows caused referee Robert Byrd to stop the fight.
