#MayweatherMcGregor: Miss the action last night? Here is the report
Floyd Mayweather delivered on his promise to stop Conor McGregor – but he didn’t have it all his own way.
The boxing legend lost the opening three rounds but found his rhythm to stop the Irishman in the 10th session
In doing so Mayweather stretched his record to 50-0, past the legendary heavyweight Rocky Marciano, having come out of a two-year retirement.
But McGregor defied the predictions of many boxing pundits on his professional debut in Las Vegas.
Having been roared into the ring by the thousands of Irish fans in the T-Mobile Arena, McGregor started as he had promised – on the front foot.
The two-weight UFC champion slung his hands low and forced Mayweather back against the ropes.
At one stage he crossed his hands behind his back in nonchalance.
With one round to his name, McGregor was warned in the second for hitting to the back of the head.
It would be the first of several illegal moves but it was still the underdog who was landing the telling blows
