After months of ever-increasing hype and anticipation, heavily favored Floyd Mayweather defeated Conor McGregor on Saturday night in the 10th round by technical knockout (TKO).
More than 14,600 fans packed into Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena to watch Mayweather, thought of by many as the greatest boxer of all time, battle it out with the polarizing MMA star. McGregor, who once called boxing a “quarter fight” in comparison to UFC matchups, was forced to trade in his leg kicks and grappling moves for more traditional jabs and hooks.
McGregor came out firing during the first three rounds, relying on an unorthodox stance and unconventional moves to catch Mayweather off guard.
