May-Mac was never going to go any other way, unless Mayweather was completely shot. As it was, Floyd's hand speed has diminished and his footwork was greatly diminished, so knowing that, he fought very intelligently. Ordinarily it is not a good idea to give away rounds but it was the byproduct of a brilliant strategy by Floyd.

Having said that, I was very impressed with McGregor. He took the fight to Floyd but was very good about maintaining his size and reach advantage early, keeping the proper range to best attack Floyd from. Later on, when the tide had turned, he never gave up or mailed it in to go the distance. He picked his shots late and gave himself the best chance to land meaningful blows even as the fight slipped away.

This was a much more entertaining fight than I expected, even if the result was never in doubt after the fourth round. Kudos to both fighters; both sports got a win-win out of an event that seemed like a farcical cash-grab going in.
