On Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York, Mikey Garcia went to work against Orlando Salido. From the opening bell, Garcia dominated Salido scoring two knockdowns over Salido with left hooks. Garcia kept his composure letting Salido come to him while outboxing and outscoring him from the beginning of the fight. Another knockdown caused by a Garcia uppercut occurred in the third round, and another knockdown in the fourth after Garcia landed another left hook on Salido. The bout came to an abrupt end after Salido clashed heads with Garcia, breaking Garcia's nose. The doctors stopped the fight, therfore giving Garcia the win on a technical decision after the judges scored the bout 79-70, 79-69(twice). Mikey Garcia made easy work of Orlando Salido giving him the WBO Featherweight Title.
Gennady Golovkin defended his Middleweight title after defeating Gabriel Rosado on a 7th round stoppage. Golovkin bloodied Rosado pretty bad prompting Rosado's corner to throw in the towel, giving Gennady the victory.
A controversial draw between Juan Carlos Burgos and Roman Martinez occurred. Juan Carlos seemed to be in control of the fight serving up more punishment than his counter part, I sense a rematch in the future.
