round 8 , very even.

Still conor backpedalling.

You will almost never win on the backfoot.

9th round, conor exhausted and gasping, he literally cannot hold his arm up for defense.

Floyd landing shots on conor at will.

early in the 10th ref correctly called it off.

conor not hurt, but he was going to be.
He was not defending.

Conor for the whole fight I think did not throw a punch where he flicked his hips into it.
Not a punch that came from his rear heel, hardly any where he had his torso twisting or shoulders moving.

There was nothing that was going to hurt floyd.

Surprised he lasted to the 10th round.

Yes, the Irishman did well to stay upright that long, however you have to consider that he was in the ring with a man who retired two years ago and is 40 plus years old..........otherwise I think he would have been gone before the 5th round with a younger Mayweather.....

I think the rules say that you must defend yourself -
Conor had his hands low & was getting bashed in the face
again & again.
I suppose that's why the ref stopped it?

I thought Mayweather Jr would just weather out the early rounds and see if a UFC/MMA fighter could go the distance. Conor should have just thrown it all on the line in the early rounds rather than try to out-box a specialist boxer with the best defence of all.
In the end, it was obviously just a novelty fight that made millions of $$$. Conor was lucky Mayweather Jr was 40'ish.
Ref made the correct 'professional' call.
Unlike Brock Lesner who came from 'Entertainment' Wrestling and pulverised some of the best in UFC, etc.
Conor didn't make an impact on crossing over into Boxing.

Shame Horn won't get a chance against Mayweather Jr.
I must admit that Conor came across as a 'Chump' for the money - nothing more. His 'suit' effort pre-match was a laugh.

In fishing terms, Mayweather had his reel on drag just waiting till Conor was spent. He could have pushed it to happen 4 rounds earlier but I think he also wanted to stretch it to give everyone value for money.

Exactly, His only real chance was to go really hard and hope for a lucky shot.
I heard one expert say if it wasn't done within 3 rounds, Mayweather could not lose.

That was a joke of a fight. For all the bullsh!t hype to a puff of snoke imo.
Mayweather just let Mcgregor shadow box untill he wore himself out. Was never gonna be a fight.
What should of happened is a last minute swap with mcgregor to Horn and then watch the color srain out of mayweather.
Then youd see a real fight. What they sold everyone was clap trap humor and a nonsense story line.

That's why they call Mayweather Jr 'Da Money'.

So its currently being thrown around that if Mayweather Jr stepped into the UFC ring against McGregor - he would only last 1 round.

Will we see 'this' happen?
