The day MMA world champion Conor McGregor and Boxing lightweight champion Floyd Mayweather clash against each other at Las Vegas. This one of a kind boxing match saw an MMA star, famous for his vanquishments in Ultimate Fighting Championship, take on an undefeated boxer who came out of a 2-year retirement to accept the challenge.

Prior the match, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather held an unbeaten streak of 49 matches. With this win, he brought up the 50th win of his boxing career. The first three rounds saw the Irishmen Mcgregor dominate the legendary boxer as opposed to the fact that many expected the match to end in the first few rounds with a knockout punch from Mayweather. However, it was the next few rounds where the boxer made a comeback and soon he had the upper hand.

It took 10 rounds for Floyd Mayweather to win the match via TKO. The match came in the aftermath of an unbelievable hype surrounding which segregated masses into two teams by the names of Team Mcgregor and Team Mayweather. Popular sportsperson also came in support of their respective team. Virat Kohli was in support for “The Notorious” and later applauded the efforts of reigning UFC Lightweight Champion for surviving 10 rounds as opposed to people expecting a knockout in the first round.
