I hope Mayweather doesn't try what he did last time and endlessly run around the ring trying to tire out his opponent.
In a result that shocked few, Floyd Mayweather defeated Conor McGregor by technical knockout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The only certainty of this fight was that it would be a spectacle not seen before.
Two different sports worlds collided into a 12-round junior middleweight boxing match: Mayweather, considered one of the best defensive boxers of all time, coming out of retirement at age 40 seeking to become the first boxer to reach 50 fights undefeated. McGregor, 29, is the current UFC lightweight champion and the most exciting draw in mixed martial arts today -- but it was his first professional boxing match.
It was billed as the first boxing-UFC crossover bout in history. Ref. CNN.
McGregor was completely outmatched… but that was to be expected. You could see that he was uncomfortable fighting using boxing rules. He even resorted to UFC moves a few times. The thing is, I'm not sure Mayweather could be McGregor in a UFC style match. There are trick McGregor would have used to recover when Mayweather stunned him that are illegal in boxing. Plus, the first few round would have been different had McGregor been able to use his legs and feet.
