On Saturday night the world witnessed one of the biggest boxing matches of all time and it didn’t disappoint. Most thought Conor McGregor didn’t have much of a shot against Floyd Mayweather but they had to be impressed by what the Irishman brought to the ring.
In the end, Floyd “Money” Mayweather would add another fight to his winning streak making it an ultimately impressive 50-0. It was a great fight and there were a few times when Vegas bookers probably got very worried because Conor was looking good for a while.
Even though it was said the judges had Mayweather comfortably ahead when it came to points by the end of the fight it really could have gone either way until the 9th round when it really became apparent Mayweather was winning the fight. Conor was getting tired in the fifth round but he still had some fight in him. However, the boxing experience of Money Mayweather soon got the best of The Notorious One.
During the sixth round, Mayweather started applying the pressure a little bit more illustrating his defensive abilities while letting Conor McGregor continue to tire himself out. But it all came to a head in the tenth round after a series of shots from Floyd and the referee called off the fight.
It was an incredible contest and nobody can deny it wasn’t impressive. This wasn’t the short fight many expected it to be, but it was certainly exciting.
Enzo Amore doesn’t want anyone to forget he was there as he documented a lot of his McGregor vs Mayweather experience including how much he paid for his ticket.
