By McGregor Accuses Referee Of Stopping The Fight Too Early
Irish boxer, Connor McGregor has alleged that the referee, Robert Byrd stopped the match too early and awarded a win to his opponent, Floyd Money Mayweather.
McGregor before the match had boosted that he was going to knock out the undefeated Mayweather in the early rounds only had clear chances to deliver two shots which did not get the Money Man tired.
“I took the early rounds fairly handy,” he said. “I thought it was close, I thought the stoppage was a bit early, there was a lot on the line and I thought he should have let me carry on.
“I was just a little fatigued. He is composed and you have got to give it to him.
“I thought it was close. I get a little wobbly when I’m tired, it is fatigue, the referee could have let it keep going, let the man put me down. I am clear headed.
McGregor accused Byrd of not letting him fall in the ring before calling off the match as he said there was too much on the line in terms match which would have made him put more effort for the final two rounds.
“Where were the final two rounds? Let me wobble to the corner and make him put me down.
“I’ve been strangled on live TV and came back. When you’re in here in the squared circle, everything is different.”
On the potential to get back in the square ring, the Irishman added: “We’ll see what happens. I am having a buzz, if anyone wants a knock give me a call.”
