Idc what anyone says mcgregor was pounding on his ass, he had him , even may weather says he was a tough competitor at the end , it was a damn good fight ,
First 3 rounds Mayweather hardly threw anything. He let mcgregor throw punches freely and even on McGregor's upper cut, it didn't even phase Mayweather. The best hits mcgregor had were the hammer fists on the back of Mayweather's neck and head. Mayweather was almost exclusively defensive the first 4 rounds. Look at both fighters at thr end of round 5. McGregor is showing obvious signs of fatigue while Mayweather was barely sweating.
McGregor's hands in round 5 and up were heavy and in round 7 was letting them drop a lot. In thr last round before the fight was called, Mayweather just chased him around the ring throwing numerous crosses and landing all of them because mcgregor couldn't even get his hands up to defend himself. If the fight hadn't been called, Mayweather would have knocked mcgregor out.
McGregor did a great job. I think he surprised most people and with a bit more training could have a lucrative career in boxing if he wanted to. Both fighters were great at the end with complimenting each other
