Floyd Mayweather beat Conor McGregor by Technical Knockout

McGregor sticks his tongue out at Mayweather during an early exchange.

Floyd Mayweather beat Conor McGregor -- literally and literally -- but it was way closer than just about anyone thought.
Conor ran out of gas in the 9th and Floyd opened up in the 10th with a flurry. Conor never went down but it was clearly over ... so the ref stopped the fight.
It was shockingly close ... It looked to us like Conor won the first three rounds -- the judges saw it differently. Floyd came back strong in the next 3.
McGregor lands an uppercut early in the bout. He came out aggressive and took the fight to Mayweather in the first few rounds.

Mayweather <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/27/sport/mayweather-vs-mcgregor-fight/index.html" target="_blank">stopped McGregor in the 10th round,</a> collecting his 50th victory in what he said will be the last fight of his undefeated pro career. It was the first pro boxing match for McGregor, a mixed martial artist who is the UFC's lightweight champion.
It looked like going into the 10th Floyd was winning by a razor thin margin ... but again, the judges had a wider margin in favor of Floyd.
In the end, the fighters showed respect for each other, hugging as they became ridiculously rich.
