Mayweather dominates McGregor in 10-round affair
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.
