Elijah Garcia secured a dominant win against Jose Armando Resendiz in a blockbuster clash on Saturday, September 30 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The pair squared off in the Showtime PPV opener, leading to Canelo Alvarez’s undisputed 168-pound title defense against Jermell Charlo.
The scheduled for 10 rounds middleweight bout didn’t go the full distance. Garcia dropped Resendiz to the canvas with a big right hook that followed a pair of body shots. The latter managed to get back on his feet and beat the eight count, to only once again be dominated by a series of heavy shots.
Referee Tony Weeks stepped in and waved the fight to save Resend
