Keith Thurman (28-0-1 NC, 22 KOs) handed Danny Garcia (33-1, 19 KOs) his first defeat in Saturday night’s PBC on CBS main event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Thurman won by split decision (116-112, 113-115, 115-113) to retain his WBA welterweight title, as well as take possession of Garcia’s WBC belt.

While Thurman and Garcia failed to deliver a punishing knockout blow, the same cannot be said for junior middleweight Erickson Lubin (18-0, 13 KOs), who brought the crowd to its feet with a sensational left hand finish of Mexican veteran Jorge Cota (25-0, 22 KOs).
