Floyd Mayweather outclassed Conor McGregor with a 10th-round stoppage Saturday to win their money-spinning superfight and clinch his 50th straight victory.
Former welterweight boxing champion Mayweather, who had emerged from a two-year retirement to take on the Irish mixed martial arts star, took his time to get going before dominating from the fourth round.
The end came with a tired McGregor doubled over on the ropes as Mayweather landed two hard left hooks, prompting referee Robert Byrd to intervene and declare a technical knockout.
"He's a lot better than I thought he'd be," Mayweather said. "He's a tough competitor, but I was the better man tonight."
Mayweather said he had deliberately taken his time early on in order to take advantage of a fatigued McGregor.
