McGregor had a credible showing
Conor McGregor didn't knock Floyd Mayweather out like he prophesized and eventually got TKO-ed in the tenth round.
But the fact that an MMA fighter with no prior professional boxing experience lasted 10 rounds against the greatest boxer of this generation, even nicking a few rounds off him in the process, only served to underline the credible showing that he had.
Yes, the fight panned out the way many thought it would - with Floyd taking it somewhat easier in the end - but there were moments in the fight when certain things that Conor McGregor did were eyebrow raising.
Despite losing the fight, the Irishman can go back to MMA with his head held high now.
