Defensive fighter, Floyd Mayweather increased his unbeaten run to 50-0 after knocking out Irish UFC fighter turn boxer, Cornor McGregore in the 10th round in their last Saturday much anticipated clash in Las Vegas.

For weeks, odds on the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor kept dropping as bettors relentlessly put their money on the Irishman who holds the UFC lightweight championship belt.

Though record amounts were bet – the William Hill sports books reported early Saturday that total handle on the bout had already doubled the 2015 record set between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao – it was all for naught.

Mayweather left the ring for the final time Saturday a winner once more, capping a brilliant career by going to 50-0 with a one-sided and dominating victory at T-Mobile Arena.

He stopped McGregor at 1:05 of the 10th round, landing a series of unanswered blows that forced referee Robert Byrd to jump between them.

“I think we gave the world a heck of a fight,” Mayweather said in the ring after the fight.

“It was the same gameplan. I wanted to stay going straight ahead. I thought if I stayed going straight ahead I would be able to get him. I really wanted to get him.”

The unique match between a boxer and a mixed martial artist drew massive worldwide attention and the fight more than lived up to the billing. McGregor did well, not looking all that out of place and competing on more than even terms early.

“This was my last fight, ladies and gentlemen,” McGregor said.

McGregor was his usual witty and affable self after the bout.

“I turned him into a Mexican tonight,” he said, laughing. “ … He was so composed. He’s not that powerful, but boy is he composed.”He also said “of course” he would return to the UFC.
