Just as witnessed by every one Conor McGregor was lost to Floyd Mayweather via technical knockout. Well i can say its not just a batlle of skills but also a battle of brain and strategy.
In the early part of the first round McGregor shows some aggressiveness but Mayweather is ready to employ his strategy, his very well-known strategy (the elbow defense and the counter-punching with hit and run. lol).
Then McGregor adjusted by only throwing jabs and soft straight which was very effective because Mayweather couldn't use his strategy, the counter punch. Mcgregor also landed some soft punches. Mayweather got annoyed in the end of round 4. May be he thought he was losing in those rounds
In round 5 we saw a different Mayweather. We saw a an aggressive Floyd, a Floyd that we didn't see in his previous big fight like that of Pacquiao, No more elbow defense, no more hit and run. Maybe because he realized that if he continue his style he could not land volume of punches to McGregor.
McGregor did not make some adjustments until in round 6 we could notice that he slowed down and almost out of gas in round 10. He could not even respond to punches thrown by Maywetaher.
But the smartest thing that two boxers did is by saying "yes" to this mega-fight because they both got millions of dollars..
