Mayweather has finally defeated McConor in round 10 with a KO. McConor speaks: “I thought it was close ... I get a little floppy when I get tired ... [Floyd] was a lot more composed. You’ve got to give it to him ... I don’t know if I will box again”

Floyd - now 50-0 in his career - speaks after the fight: “[Conor]’s a tough competitor - we gave the fans what they wanted to see

“He’s a lot better than I thought he was ... he used different angles. But I was the better man ... It was our gameplan to take our time and take him out down the stretch.”

The two men embrace in the ring. There’s clearly respect from Floyd - and no wonder, the rookie lasted 10 rounds with one of the great fighters. Conor lacked two things as the fight went on - his punches lacked bite and he just didn’t have the legs to last through a 12-round fight.

Floyd Mayweather wins by TKO!
I think Conor needs a KO now to win - but as he tires he’s losing any kind of power in his punches. It’s his lack of experience at a fight going this long that’s really hurting him. And Floyd comes forward - he’s rocked by a big right. The Irishman doesn’t go down though and continues. But his legs have gone and Floyd goes in for the kill - and the ref stops it.
