What a performance from Garcia, I fancied him strongly to win but I didn't think he'd win that easy,he absolutely dominated Zlaticanin with the jab, constantly moving to his own left peppering out the jab and left hooks, Zlaticanin never got near him and the KO was top drawer, I thought he'd seriously hurt him

Yeah the ko was awesome. I thought Garcia would win in a dominant fashion, but don't think anyone expected an early and brutal ko like that.

I feared the worst when he hit the deck. His hands were almost at his side when Garcia launched his shot with full impact. Devastating.

Especially when you seen people pull Zlaticanin out from under the ropes by his feet and he was still motionless.thankfully he was fine

Damn, Garcia banjoed him. He really impresses me the more I see him, everything came off the jab but his movement was fantastic. He managed to stay in range the whole time and completely nullified all his movement and attacks and the way he moved off after the uppercut to get full rotation into that right hand was great to watch.
