The general assessment about the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor fight last August 26th was that McGregor did do a good enough job to win some of the early rounds before Floyd Jr. took over and finished the job at the tenth round. But that was not how two-time heavyweight world champion George Foreman saw it.
In his recent interview at the Obviously Fight Talk podcast, the boxing Hall-of-Famer even believes McGregor was able to hurt Mayweather with a body shot, until referee Richard Byrd intervened.
“The referee protected Mayweather in one of the last rounds,” Foreman said (transcript via MMA Fighting).
