Mayweather vs McGregor

[KungFuJoe]

This should be classed as an exhibition fight nothing more. To think Mayweather will break Marciano's record with rubbish like this...smh...

I love these types of fights. Its just going to be fun seeing what connor will bring to the table. Its a massive risk for him going against mayweather.

You have to give it to Conor. He is very accurate with his punches. Those combos hit the mark every time.

$40... 40 f*%ken dollars. Pleassssssssseeeeeeeeeee
Can't say I would have watched this even if it was $10 but $40. Would be watching if it was just on normal sky.
Jack v Cleverly is best fight on the card and that is not a ppv fight.
This fight appeals to the internet generation who like the WWF or whatever it's called nowadays and the UFC fans. There is probably some crossover there between those two groups.
Amazing what some good promotion can do.
My prediction: This will be the last cross code fight we'll see in a while and confidence in the ppv market will be dented.
Good luck to everyone paying for it today. I'm going to put my $40 on Manly 13 and over and drown my sorrows with a good old sunday session and will watch fight on youtube tomorrow

Mayweather-McGregor Undercard Results

By David Robinett at ringside

In a largely tactical affair, Antonio Hernandez (10-1, 2 KOs) pulled off the mild upset, scoring a final round knockdown and defeating the previously unbeaten Kevin Newman (7-1-1, 3 KOs) by scores of 57-56, 59-54, 59-54, in a six-round super middleweight contest. Newman seemed to be controlling the bout early with his speed, popping quick jabs and circling away before Hernandez could counter. However as the fight progressed Hernandez was able to occasionally close the distance or trap Newman along the ropes, allowing him to land a few punches before Newman moved out of danger. Although Hernandez was moving up in weight against a natural super middleweight, Newman also started short-arming many of his punches in the latter half of the fight, seemingly getting too conservative with an opponent who he probably should have had an easier time with. A flash knockdown by Hernandez in the final round helped cement the victory, but Newman’s lack of urgency was as responsible for his first defeat as anything Hernandez did in the ring.

Female super middleweights Sydney LeBlanc and Savannah Marshall kicked off the undercard of the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the debuting Marshall cruising to a four-round unanimous decision by identical scores of 40-36. Marshall, England’s first women’s amateur boxing world champion, utilized her height and reach advantage to keep LeBlanc at bay, relying heavily on her left jab and long right-hands. Marshall mixed in some body shots as the fight progressed and clearly established herself to be the superior fighter. LeBlanc (4-4-1, 0 KOs), who unsuccessfully challenged American Olympian Claressa Shields earlier this year, came on a little in the final round, but it was too little too late to make any difference in the final outcome.

Mayweather dominates and stops McGregor in ten

By David Robinett at ringside
Former world champion Floyd Mayweather moved his record to 50-0, 27 KOs with a tenth round TKO over pro-debuting MMA fighter Conor McGregor (0-1, 0 KOs) on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Coming out of retirement, Floyd let McGregor push the pace for a few rounds. When McGregor started to get tired, Mayweather easily outboxed him. By round nine, McGregor was out of gas and Floyd punished him at will. Referee Robert Byrd stopped the fight in round ten with McGregor under fire. The win takes Mayweather past Rocky Marciano’s legendary 49-0 mark.
