Ryan Garcia (21-0, 18 KOs) had to overcome the first knockdown of his career to win an absolute thriller against Olympic gold medalist and two-time world lightweight title challenger Luke Campbell (20-4 16 KOs).
In front of 6,000 fans at American Airlines Center in Dallas, the 22-year-old rising star was floored by Campbell in the second round on a heavy left hand. Garcia recovered from that shot and hurt Campbell towards the end of round five in what was a very compelling contest. Then in round seven, Garcia uncorked a wicked left to the liver that would put Campbell down on a knee.
