Notes
- Caballero dominated the fight from start to finish with a blistering body attack, frequently hurting Yordan and knocking him down in Round 2. Yordan occasionally landed hard counters, but threw significantly fewer punches.
- HBO commentator Larry Merchant strongly criticized the decision to let the fight continue, describing it as a "slaughter."
- Yordan confessed he still suffered from jetlag, as he's just arrived to the US only 3 days prior to the fight, and having insomnia before the fight related to the jetlag. The delayed arrival was caused by the delayed issuance of the US visa for Yordan.
