PHOTO | Scorecards from Mayweather vs. McGregor
Floyd Mayweather improved his professional boxing record to a perfect 50-0 last night in Las Vegas by defeating a very game Conor McGregor via tenth-round TKO.
The Mayweather vs McGregor fight ended up being much more competitive then a lot of people assumed it would be.
Conor McGregor actually looked great in the opening four rounds of his fight with Mayweather.
The Irish superstar was able to connect with over 100 punches during the course of the fight but ultimately slowed down in the later rounds which allowed Mayweather to take over.
Mayweather would unload a barrage of punches on “Mystic Mac” in round ten which forced the referee to step in and stop the contest.
Prior to the fight being stopped in round ten, many people had Floyd Mayweather just slightly ahead of Conor McGregor on their respective scoreboards.
The general consensus seemed to be that Conor had won the first three rounds and maybe even round four.
With that said, two of the ringside judges in Las Vegas saw the opening rounds much differently.
