Mayweather cements his legend with huge win over McGregor - Mhiz Rebecca - 08-27-2017
Floyd Mayweather cemented his legendary status in
boxing and combat sports by defeating Mixed
MArtial Arts (MMA) star Conor McGregor in the
money fight.
The fight was held at the T-Mobile Arena, Paradise,
Nevada, USA on Sunday, August 28.
After the fight the 40-year-old American announced
it would be his last ever professional fight.
The kick off bout for the money fight was for the
WBA lightweight championship belt. The holder
was Nathan Cleverly who was challenged by Badau
Jack.
The match was a super welterweight bout between
MMA star Connor McGregor and boxing legend
Floyd Mayweather.
The referee was Robert Byrd. Round one belonged
to McGregor who landed two jabs on Floyd.
McGregor continued to land punches on
Mayweather and won the first three rounds.
Mayweather left it to Conner as he used his
experience to last longer.
By the 7th round McGregor was already tiring out
and Floyd took the initiative to muster consecutive
jabs
By the 9th round, Mayweather was the top dog in
the pound and it was beginning to become obvious
he would win as Conner became wobbly.
The Nevada native landed 4 heavy blows to his
opponent in the tenth round as the referee called
off the fight.
