The extremely hyped Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight finally took place on Saturday night in Las Vegas (despite some PPV chaos), and ended with Mayweather victorious, as everyone expected.
However, McGregor actually made the fight more competitive than most pundits expected, before running out of gas in the late rounds. In the 10th round, the referee finally decided to call the fight after a few Mayweather blows left McGregor stumbling in the ring.

Mayweather admitted that McGregor — who had previously been an MMA fighter — was better than he expected.
Mayweather: He’s a tough competitor. I think we gave the fans want they wanted to see. He was a lot better than I thought he was.

Mayweather, now 50-0, said “this is my last fight tonight.”
Mayweather: This is my last fight tonight, ladies and gentleman. My last fight. For sure.

Uh huh. We’ll see about that. The better bet is that we’ll have a Mayweather-McGregor rematch.
