The biggest prize fight in history went down tonight, as Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather locked horns tonight (Saturday, August 26, 2017) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
McGregor acquitted himself well early, but Mayweather’s superior cardio and skill took control down the stretch. “Money” scored a 10-8 in the ninth, and he closed the show about a minute into the next frame. McGregor never went down, but referee Byrd had seen enough after Mayweather blasted an exhausted McGregor with several blistering right hands.

This is looking like the McGregor vs Diaz fights. Conor with a fast, high paced start but slowing down severely and the tide turns.

Conor McGregor loses nothing tonight. Only gains. He never hit the canvas. Never came even close to quitting. Made Floyd fight entertaining.

McGregor's self-analysis is probably my favorite thing about him. Always honest, no excuses, insightful. #MayewatherMcGregor

Conor can walk away with his head held high. Won more rds vs Floyd than Canelo & Berto, and thats just facts. The 100 mil don't hurt either.
