Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor Fight Scheduled for 12 Rounds

More details continue to trickle in for the Aug. 26 bout between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor. The latest note is that the bout will be scheduled for 12 rounds, per Dan Rafael of ESPN.com.

With McGregor used to shorter UFC fights, the length of the bout could play an important factor between these two superstars.

Most mixed martial arts bouts are only three or five rounds, and McGregor rarely even goes the distance in those. Only one of his last eight matches went past the second round, with the majority ending by knockout.

Conversely, Mayweather has made a career out of winning by decision. Although 26 of his 49 career wins have come by knockout, he has gone seven straight fights without one. His last stoppage came in 2011 against Victor Ortiz.

Virtually all of his bouts since 2000 have been scheduled for 12 rounds.

Considering McGregor's endurance has rarely been tested, Mayweather could have a significant advantage the longer the upcoming fight lasts.
