THE WINNER BY WAY OF TKO AT 2:22 OF ROUND 9...DANNY GARCIA

Also on the card, WBA middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs made a successful defense of his title, droppin former champion Sergio Mora two times to score a 2nd round stoppage. The fight started off with fireworks, with Jacobs scoring a knockdown early in round 1, but Mora answering with one of his own. It looked as though the fight might turn into a war as Jacobs applied pressure while Mora looked to counter. When Jacobs landed a right hand during one of his attacks, Mora fell to the canvas and awkwardly landed on his knee. After receiving a standing 8-count, Mora was limping on his leg and informed the referee that he heard something pop. Unable to continue, the fight was called at 2:55 of the 2nd round, giving Jacobs the TKO victory.

In the swing bout, jr. middleweight Prichard Colon took advantage of the Jacobs vs. Mora bout ending early. He scored an impressive TKO of Michael Finney, dropping him hard with a devastating combination that prompted the referee to stop the bout at 1:23 of round 2.
