5 Talking points from the Mayweather vs McGregor boxing match

50-0 for a reason

Floyd Mayweather celebrating after defeating Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor started strong, fighting from range and seemingly getting the better of Floyd in the early rounds.

But the adjustments that the boxer made were well-thought out and was exactly what was needed to turn the fight in his favour.

He attacked McGregor to the body and didn't let him use his range; instead, pressuring forward, forcing him to expend energy in keeping him off and landing shots increasingly at will as the rounds wore on.

Eventually, he overwhelmed him with his punches in the 9th round and finished him off in the next, by which time, it was apparent who the fighter with ring smarts gained through 50 professional fights under his belt was.

As I said, 50-0 for a reason.
