As everyone expected, Floyd Mayweather  defeated Conor McGregor to claim his 50th victory as well as maintain his unbeaten record in a fight that had been hyped as the richest ever.  Surprising many, Mcgregor begin well and seemed to have the upper hand, landing a string of scoring punches initially. But soon he realized Mayweather’s greatness and how stamina plays a major in big fights.

 A tired Mcgregor was put on the ropes and then a hard left hook from Mayweather left the UFC fighter bent over and helpless, prompting the stoppage. Mayweather was leading 89-81, 89-82, 87-83 on the ringside cards when the stoppage came and the boxing legend looked steady and  invincible as ever.

To all those who said @TheNotoriousMMA won't even last 1 round, he went through 10!!!! A legend & an epitome of self belief. Hats off man ?

The American now boasts a 50-fight unbeaten professional record also announced his permanent retirement declaring that this was his last venture as a professional. "He was a lot better than I thought. But I was the better man. I guaranteed everybody this would not go the distance. Boxing's reputation was on the line,"said Mayweather.

 "I thought it was close and I thought it was a bit of an early stoppage. I was just a little fatigued," said McGregor after the match.

Thank you to the great country of Ireland and all the countries around the world for supporting me.
