    Is it a 10-round fight or 12?

    Looks like 12. CBS has the fight tied as of right now. I find that miraculous

    10, apparently.

    I thought it was very entertaining.

    Even though he lost, McGregor came out of that looking pretty good. He apparently won a couple of rounds early and didn't totally embarrass himself. He seemed more gassed than anything by the end.
    That said, once Floyd decided to stop screwing around it was only a matter of time.

    Yeah, I don't give him credit for doing better early. Floyd wasn't trying.

    I watched via an Instagram live story. McGregor landed more hammerfists than power punches.

    The ref will catch hell for the stoppage, but he was done.

    From what I've read, sounds like Floyd was maintaining a pace that could go 12 early and McGregor wasn't. I thought cardio would be an issue, but I gotta admit McGregor did better than I expected.

    I was coming out of the IndyCar race and didn't see it, but my brother was texting me for three rounds that McGregor was gassed. True?

    Yes. And he caught a few flush to the nose as well starting in the 7th.

    Started getting clearly tired in the 6th.
