I agree. It could have ended very badly for Conor McGregor tonight. That said, another travesty for the sport of boxing. One of their greatest champions took on an amateur to get his 50th win the cheap way, and in a fixed fight. From the first round you could tell McGregor was in over his head in the ring and Mayweather was just toying with him the whole night.

“.....Mayweather was just toying with him the whole night.”

Actually I would differ. Floyd was not prepared for this fight and/or Conor.

He was surprised by a jab and the unorthodox style, a cross between of George Foreman and Chuck Wepner.

The early rounds showed Floyd was confused and not sure how to deal with the reach too. No one saw that coming and Floyd admitted he was surprised how good his opponent was after the fight.

The end was determined more by the lack of experience and late round ability of Conor. He ran out of gas and Mayweather took advantage of it in the end.

Far better than most said.
