There has been a bit of a debate regarding the 10th round TKO stoppage in the Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor<\/a> money fight.<\/p>\n

McGregor said after the fight was over that he would have liked it if the ref let the fight go<\/a> on as he claimed he was more fatigued than hurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I thought the ref could have just let it keep going, let me go down,” said McGregor. “Let the man put me down. Wobbly and fatigue, that\u2019s energy, that\u2019s not damage. I\u2019m clear headed.\u201d<\/p>\n

While “The Notorious” felt the fight could have continued, UFC President Dana White agreed with the stoppage as did a former ringside physician<\/a>. However, former boxing world champion and former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm agrees with Conor that the ref could have let the fight play out longer than it did.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t see McGregor arguing it was stopped, but I thought though the ref jumped in a little early, yeah,\u201d Holm said on Monday\u2019s episode of The MMA Hour (transcribed by Dave Doyle for MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cIt\u2019s not like he was out on his feet or about to get knocked out, or something like that. He wasn\u2019t going in there to counter or anything. It was definitely an early stoppage for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"holly<\/a><\/p>\n

With Holm having won world championship boxing titles in three weight divisions and a UFC women’s bantamweight title, she enjoyed the crossover of the two combat sports as she has never understood the beef between the boxing and MMA purists. <\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you not respect it?\u201d Holm asked. They both put everything on the line. McGregor walked in and said \u2018I believe I can do this going against a boxer, a fighter that\u2019s never been beat.\u2019 He\u2019s got the record now. That\u2019s a big thing to take on. … For Mayweather, anything can happen in a fight, one punch can end it, he\u2019s putting a lot on the line. 50-0 or to lose to an MMA fighter who never boxed before. That\u2019s a lot to put on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n
