Referee ‘saved’ Floyd Mayweather from Conor McGregor in round 9, says Skip Bayless
Maybe this is just one of those ‘MMA angles’ that everyone was talking about.
Conor McGregor’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather Jr. wasn’t half as crazy as it could have been. McGregor threw some hammerfists, Mayweather turned and gave his back to McGregor a lot more than he likely needed to, there was the – somewhat McGregor-created – controversy around whether the stoppage was early. But, for the most part, it was a pretty reasonable boxing match between a relative novice and a crafty veteran.
