I give Mcgregor a lot of respect. He did much better than I thought he would. He also took shots better than I thought he would.
With that said, I think Mayweather knew that he was nowhere near the fighter he was before so he did intentionally let Mcgregor use up his energy and power at the beginning of the fight and preserve his own energy. Mcgregor was also much bigger than I anticipated.
At the end of the day, fighting an old fighter who depends on speed and quickness can make you look pretty good. He would obviously get destroyed by an actual 154 fighter.
