This is cruising towards an 8-4 or 9-3 Mayweather win.

McGreggor is exhausted. He's just gonna fall over.

Floyd might actually get the knockout simply because McGregor has nothing left. Conor going for a huge punch and missing and falling over is distinctly possible.

Couldn't even get the knockdown, but the stoppage was right, Conor was gassed and wasn't going to defend himself the rest of the fight.

Saved a half billion brain cells for McGreggor.

Easy win for Mayweather, but not a humiliation.

Can't believe people even put a cent into betting for Macgregor. It's really a shame Floyd can't fight like this against real fighters. This was probably one of his most exciting fights in the past 15 years after the 3rd round.

Conor did well for sure, just didn't have the experience of boxing 12 rounds. Surprised it wasn't set to be 10 rounds by the commission, but even if it were it wouldn't have mattered.

Yeah, definitely my favourite Mayweather fight since Mosley.

10 rounds? Maybe a 4 or 5 round fight.

I thought the first Maidana fight was probably better than the Mosley fight. This is certainly a better retirement fight than the Manny fight, sure he didn't have anything to fear once he realized Conor couldn't hurt him, but he still was as offensive as he's been in years.

Surprisingly a good fight.

MacGregor held his own especially early on, and Mayweather skill and experience showed through in the later rounds.

One good thing about this fight is that Mayweather finally told us that TBE is in regards to his marketing, money making and boxing skills. Not just solely boxing. Because he is not even in the top 20 of all time in the ring.

Nice. Made some money on the fight... Easy money! Got in at -350, couldn't believe the line dropped that far.

Connor was exceptional I thought for a guy with no pro experience against an undefeated champion. If he had some power this would have been a real good fight. As it was way more entertaining than I figured it would be.
