It's a Mayweather Win 4sure, but I could actually see Conor getting DQed 4going UFC on us. The house wins the bets & a 2nd fight happens???

Conner kept it interesting but he was outboxed and outclassed in the square ring. Nothing to be ashamed of tho. I like him even more now! ??

Boxers are conditioned to go 12 rounds. All FM had to do was take him to deep water & drown him… any good boxer would have done the same! https://t.co/4sEBNnLBVs
— Lennox Lewis (@LennoxLewis) August 27, 2017
FM executed his plan perfectly &took CM 2deep waters. CM was game &I have respect 4what he tried 2do. Will be a superstar going forward!
