UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor shocked the world with his impressive performance against boxing legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather.
In his professional boxing debut, McGregor proved that he belonged in the same ring with one of the greatest boxers of all time.
McGregor managed to win the first few rounds of the fight. However, as the fight went on, McGregor fatigued and Mayweather gained momentum. In the end, the referee stepped in and stopped the fight in the 10th round awarding Mayweather with his 50th professional win.
After the fight, McGregor shared his thought on his performance on Saturday night at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas.
“He’s composed. He’s not that fast. He’s not that powerful, but boy is he composed in there. He was making me throw and was patient with his shots. I have to give him nothing but respect,” McGregor said.
