The lead-up to the biggest event in combat sports history continued on Wednesday with Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor giving their final press conference before their matchup on Saturday, August 26. The fighters spoke to hundreds of media representatives, with Mayweather telling the press, "“I’ve been here so many times. I know what it takes for a fight of this magnitude." McGregor fought back with his words, saying, "I will go forward and put the pressure on and break this old man. He made a big error agreeing to the eight ounce gloves. I don’t see him lasting two rounds."
Mayweather vs. McGregor is officially down for the count, with the actual boxer winning the much-hyped superfight by way of 10th-round technical knockout. The referee stopped the fight after Conor McGregor’s offense completely ceased and the mixed martial artist was no longer able to defend himself. Most people predicted future pugilism hall-of-famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. would win the bout, though very few figured it would be as close as it actually was.
