Skip Bayless says McGregor had Mayweather ready to go in 9 but the ref saved him

It's on the belt line. That is good. That is not a low blow. Floyd folded.

The gif I just posted proves that it was low. Probably not intentional.

So you guys seeking consolation from a low blow now?

Yawl so desperate to see floyd lose?

To me that was on the belt line which is a fair shot. Floyd either got lucky or (more likely) had a bit of help from his friends at MGM and Showtime. Funny that right after that moment, the fight turned 100% Mayweather domination. Like it was Conor's last bullet.

I know exactly what Skip is talking about. At the start of the 9th there was a "low blow" that really hurt Floyd. It could have been a body punch, but that same round Floyd clobbered Conor and so the replay action changed to that. When Floyd folded from the "low blow" the ref quickly jumped in and warned Conor about rabbit punches and it was a very long warning. It was odd but not, because anyone that follows boxing and especially Mayweather fights, knows the ref protects the house's (in this case Showtime) boxer.

I think it was a hip shot but the commentators swore it was a legal shot, Ill have to take a look at it again to find out for sure.
