Round 10: Fight is stopped midway through round with Floyd Mayweather scoring a 10th-round TKO. Round 9: Mayweather, 10-9. Mayweather’s most dominating round. He wobbled McGregor and came forward at will while McGregor was constantly retreating. Round 8: Mayweather, 10-9. Another solid round from Mayweather, who landed several combinations. McGregor, however, at least looked like he was getting his legs back somewhat. Round 7: Mayweather, 10-9. Mayweather’s boxing superiority showed in the his best round of the fight. All the meaningful strikes came from the champion. Round 6: Mayweather, 10-9. Tide continued to turn in Mayweather’s favor. The champion now has McGregor, who’s clearly fading, off-balance and rarely able to find his target. Round 5: Mayweather, 10-9. Mayweather had issues getting off his punches but still won the round based on sheer volume. McGregor is starting to lean on Mayweather without throwing much. Round 4: Mayweather, 10-9. Mayweather finally scores with counterpunches in by far his best round of the fight. McGregor appears to be slowing a bit. Round 3: McGregor, 10-9. More switching stances while delivering punches gives McGregor the third round. Mayweather has yet to land cleanly and looks confused. Round 2: McGregor, 10-9. McGregor continued to apply more pressure and was the much more active fighter. He also switched stances, which seemingly caught Mayweather off-guard. Round 1: McGregor, 10-9. While Mayweather most was measuring his opponent, McGregor landed the cleanest shot of the round with an uppercut counterpunch. MAIN EVENT DELAYED The much-hyped fight was slightly delayed pay-per-view outages. “Due to high demand, we have reports of scattered outages from various cable and satellite provides and the online offering” Showtime, the fight broadcaster, said in a statement released shortly before midnight Saturday. “We will delay the start of the main event slightly to allow for systems to get on track. We do not expect a lengthy delay.” It is not known how many carriers or online providers are experiencing outages, EPSN reported. Earlier Thursday, the online streaming service UFC Fight Pass acknowledged delays. - Quote :

— UFC Fight Pass (@UFCFightPass) August 27, 2017 Some experts have predicted the pay-per-view match could set a record for number of buys. The current mark is a reported 4.4 million when Mayweather faced Manny Pacquiao in May 2015. Mayweather won that fight by unanimous decision, with two judges scoring it 116-112 and a third 118-110.
