Floyd Mayweather knocked out McGregor in the tenth round

The American boxer Floyd Mayweather defeated the Irish mixed style of Conor McGregor with a technical knockout in the tenth round in battle according to the rules of boxing, which took place in Las Vegas.

McGregor immediately rushed forward, but Mayweather calmly went into defense and defended him correctly. The American allowed the opponent in the first rounds to attack more, and he saved his strength and rarely attacked, but for sure.

In the fourth round, Mayweather intercepted the initiative and began to control the course of the fight. In the seventh round, the Irishman was noticeably tired, began to skip more and slowed down in the attack. He began to more and more often knit an opponent and cumbing, but this did not help him much.

McGregor was close to a fall in the ninth round, but the denouement came the tenth. After a series of strong blows of the American, the referee stopped the duel, seeing that McGregor was barely holding on his feet, and awarded the victory to Mayweather.

For McGregor, this duel became a debut in a professional ring, and Mayweather, winning 50 times in his career, surpassed the record of the legendary Rocky Marschiano, who had 49 wins without defeats.

“It was a complex and competitive opponent. He turned out to be better than I thought. But I am still the best. I think the audience saw that they wanted. I guaranteed everyone that I won prematurely, this happened. It was my last fight, ladies and gentlemen. And I chose a suitable partner for my final dance,” Mayweather said immediately after the battle.

Note that most boxing enthusiasts made bets on the Irish fighter. For example, in the bookmaker "William Hill" much more single bets on the victory of McGregor was registered.

But from Thursday, customers have already begun to set large amounts for the victory of the American, and in total, 74 percent of the total amount was delivered to him.

Several rates for millions of dollars were made to win Mayweather, three of which were registered a few hours before the match. The largest rate on McGregor was only 100 thousand dollars.

Bookmakers would suffer losses if McGregor defeated Mayweather. The losses would be more if this happened in the initial rounds. Now they will make a profit because the American won.

This battle may well set a record for the number of set rates in bookmakers. Now the record achievement belongs to the battle of Mayweather with the Philippine Manny Packeo in 2015, on which about $ 50 million was delivered.
