Conor McGregor insists he’d beat Floyd Mayweather in rematch: I whooped him ‘in the early rounds’

It’s been nearly two full years since former UFC champion Conor McGregor stepped into the boxing ring to take on Floyd Mayweather in one of the richest fights in history. McGregor ultimately lost by tenth-round TKO in what was a stunning triumph of “decorated professional boxer” over “never had a professional round of boxing prior to August 2017.”

Unsurprisingly, McGregor is of the belief that he can get the better of Floyd in a rematch in the ring. In a recent interview with the (presently under fire) self-help guru and life coach Tony Robbins, the Irishman outlined what he saw as early-round dominance against Mayweather.
