Yeah he did well. I do think he was knackered towards the end and that's when mayweather came strong. I think it's because he's not used to going for asking as a full boxing match. Would of been interesting ref hadn't of stopped it by two if he would of got a 2nd wind. Also if he lasted I think he probably could of won on points because he  was stronger in the earlier rounds.


Bet he was frustrated because he kept on going for a hammer punch to the back of the head like in UFC.

By every analyst's point estimation McGregor had the first 3 rounds at most. Mayweather would have walked it if it had gone to points. I was shocked the ref stopped it too..... Was waiting for the knockout haha

If you take into consideration the sort of punishment dished out in MMA fights before the ref steps in then this one seems particularly premature, and you could even see and hear McGregor saying the same thing as well.
It was only the speed of the punches being thrown that was catching him out, i don't think either side were really being hurt by punches in all honesty.
McGregor appears to have a head made of granite so he was just soaking them up, but in the same breath his punches weren't anywhere near powerful enough to do any real damage to Mayweather in comparison to how he's used to being hit by a pro boxer.
You have to give McGregor his credit though, he's still gone and fought someone who's unbeaten and not got hurt at all, i just wish the ref had left them to it that's all.
