Comments

• In an action packed bout, Garnett was able to box and counter early, although Tsurkan's pressure and workrate appeared to be taking over.
• Both fighters were cut over the right eye in round 2, which was deemed to be caused by punches by referee Wayne Kelly.
• The relatively even bout was stopped after five rounds due to Tsurkan's cut on the advice of the ringside physician.
