He struggled the rest of the fight and at the 10th round, after a barrage of punches from Mayweather, the referee stopped the fight, because McGregor wasnt defending himself from Mayweather.
After winning the match, which was star studded, Mayweather swore it will be his last.
This is Mayweather’s 50th undefeated match.The match was a very interesting one with McGregor taking the first 3 rounds, but at the 4th round, he started to look fatigued.
McGregor’s admirable aggression at the very start of the fight had cost him. Having picked his opponent off for a couple of rounds, Mayweather went to work in the ninth, landing several punishing shots and somehow failing to land a knockdown before the bell rang. McGregor practically collapsed into his corner at the sound of the bell. A minute later and he was still not ready to resume.
Mayweather’s final flurry was vicious. A straight-right stunned McGregor and left him staggering backwards, with Byrd diving in to wave off the contest after two more shots to the head landed.
