People get KO'd because they make mistakes or get caught throwing a careless punch or lazy jab.
Hats off to Conor, though. At distance, he was keeping up with the best in the game. The guy is physically gifted.

That's not what I saw, clearly Mayweather was toying with Conor. He had no idea how much punching power MMA fighters posess. He had to figure him out and once he realized Conor's punches were lame (to a boxer obviously) he couldn't stop coming at him even when Conor was still throwing some. To me the fight was over in the 4th round. That it lasted that long is down to Mayweather's style who also happens to be 40! Good business by Conor but that's all!
