"Conor McGregor will not land a single punch against Floyd Mayweather."That was Max Kellerman's infamous prediction for the Money Fight.

He cracked Mayweather's chin with a firm uppercut that sent his head rocking backwards. https://twitter.com/squadxtra/status/901662116058341376 Credit to Mayweather's granite chin, he ate the punch like the champion that he is.
