Mayweather’s gift TKO was a historic win for Vegas sports books and a disgrace to boxing

It was a great Fight and a win for both Boxing and MMA. It was certainly not a lopsided joke match, and was arguably a much better fight than Mayweather’s last fight against Manny Pacquiao.

On my scorecard Mcgregor was up on points at the end of the ninth.

McGregor looked a bit light fisted in this fight. Nothing he landed seemed very heavy. McGregor may have been trying to save energy, or it may show that boxers just throw lots harder, as Mayweather shook McGregor’s punches off and kept marching forward.

McGregor landed a lot though.

Mayweather turned his back and cowered from McGregor in every round, even the two that Mayweather won by the 9th.

Cowering is a boxing move?

I guess that in 2017 it is now legal to curl up into a ball to avoid punches … who knew?

The Mayweather signature illegal forearm is always cute.

Mayweather needed to finish the fight to win, if McGregor avoids a beating for the last two rounds like that which he received in the 10th , he might still barely out-point Mayweather. Vegas couldn’t have that. The boxing Ref simply called the fight for Mayweather … a bookie financed TKO and McGregor never even touched the floor.

This fight was decided August 23rd when the sports books announced that McGregor winning the fight would cause them great financial hardship.

There was no excuse for the early stoppage.

What a disgrace to boxing. It didn’t have to appear that way.
