		</div><p>Floyd Mayweather accepted that Conor McGregor was better than he thought as he was made to work hard for his 10th-round stoppage in their light-middleweight fight in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>McGregor was making his professional boxing debut having moved over from UFC and fared better than most people thought, winning the first few rounds. But Mayweather&#8217;s class and experience began to tell and, with McGregor barely able to stand in the 10th round, the referee stopped the fight.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_3125.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_3125.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="325" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-117758" /></a></p>
<p>Mayweather said in his post-fight interview in the ring: &#8220;He is a tough competitor and I thought we gave the fans what they wanted to see. &#8220;He is a lot better than I thought he was, he used different angles and was a tough competitor but I was the better man tonight.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our game-plan was to take our time, let him shoot all his heavy shots early on and then take him down at the end, down the stretch.<br />
&#8220;We know in the MMA he fights 25 minutes real hard and after that he starts to slow down.<br />
&#8220;I guaranteed this fight wouldn&#8217;t go the distance. A win is a win.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mayweather&#8217;s victory takes his record to an unprecedented 50-0 and the 40-year-old insists this was his last outing in the ring: &#8220;This was my last fight tonight, my last fight, for sure. I chose the right dance partner to dance with.&#8221;</p>
<p>McGregor will walk away with his reputation intact after putting up an accomplished showing in his first professional bout. The 29-year-old believes the referee Robert Byrd called time on the fight too early. &#8220;I took the early rounds fairly handy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I thought it was close, I thought the stoppage was a bit early, there was a lot on the line and I thought he should have let me carry on.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was just a little fatigued. He is composed and you have got to give it to him.<br />
&#8220;I thought it was close. I get a little wobbly when I&#8217;m tired, it is fatigue, the referee could have let it keep going, let the man put me down. I am clear headed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Where were the final two rounds? Let me wobble to the corner and make him put me down.<br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been strangled on live TV and came back. When you&#8217;re in here in the squared circle, everything is different.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the potential to get back in the square ring, the Irishman added: &#8220;We&#8217;ll see what happens. I am having a buzz, if anyone wants a knock give me a call.&#8221;</p>
