(April 20, 2019) – Former two-division champion Danny “Schnell” Garcia (35-2, 21 KOs) gesunken Adrian Granados (20-7-2, 14 KOs) three times before stopping him in round seven Saturday night in a welterweight showdown that headlined Boxing Champions on FOX and FOX Deportes from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson , Kalifornien. “Ich habe es schon gesagt, when Danny Garcia is at his best , nobody can beat him ,” , sagte Garcia. “I had gotten a little comfortable in the past , but I put my 110 percent into this fight and when I do , I beat everyone. ” Garcia got his offense started early , deflecting a right hand from Granados in round two and throwing a perfect left hook counter that dropped Granados for the first time in the fight . Granados continued to push and tried to change the tide , but an overhand right at the end of an exchange by Garcia sent Granados down for the second time in round two . “It felt good landing that big left hook ,” , sagte Garcia. “I was proud of my performance . I thought I did a great job tonight. ” “He was very sharp in the exchanges ,” said Granados . “That’s where he was catching me . I knew that’s what I had to avoid . But the toughness in me is always ready to go . I was willing to engage. ” Granados tried to find ways to slow Garcia’s momentum , but while trying to crowd Garcia he was too often caught with power punches on the inside . Round four saw Granados begin to bleed heavily from the nose and in round five Granados was dropped for the third time , this time from a combination Garcia delivered while he had Granados on the ropes . “The way to make a statement tonight was to stop him ,” , sagte Garcia. “The game plan was to break him down . I have too many tools . I couldn’t let him hang around with me . “He wanted to get closer to me and make it a dogfight . But I surprised him when I stood with him and banged to the body . Then I started making him miss and that’s when I stopped him. ” In Runde sieben, Garcia landed 48% of his power punches according to CompuBox , and after buzzing him several times , unleashed a flurry while Granados was on the ropes that forced referee Thomas Taylor to stop the bout 1:33 in Runde sieben. “He caught me with some good shots but I really thought I was fine ,” said Granados . “I think the referee was a little over-protective . I had a plan to go the whole fight and they stopped me on my feet . I was still catching him with shots . I was still dangerous and looking for a big shot to change the fight . The referee had to do his job though and I understand it. ” Mit dem Sieg, Garcia will look for more big fights with fellow elite welterweights . “I hope I didn’t scare Manny Pacquiao away ,” , sagte Garcia. “I’d love a rematch with Shawn Porter or Keith Thurman , or a fight with Errol Spence Jr . Ich bin wieder da!”The co-main event featured heavyweight contender and Southern California fan-favorite Andy “Der Zerstörer” Ruiz Jr. (32-1, 21 KOs) scoring a TKO victory over Alexander Dimitrenko (41-5, 26 KOs) after five rounds of action in their heavyweight showdown . Ruiz flashed the exceptional hand speed that has defined his career , landing hard combinations to the head and body of the taller Dimitrenko . Ruiz stalked Dimitrenko , controlling the center of the ring and picking his spots to unload . “He started slowing down and I could see the face he made when I hit him with body shots ,” said Ruiz . “I just stayed disciplined and focused . I couldn’t get too anxious . I just wanted to break him down until the tree fell down. ” Dimitrenko tried to use his jab to keep Ruiz at bay and was able to cause a welt under Ruiz’s right eye as the early rounds went on . It was not enough to keep Ruiz from coming forward and in round five he began to pile up the punishment , punctuated with hard right hooks that snapped Dimitrenko’s head back . “We worked on slipping his right hand and coming back with my own ,” said Ruiz . “I missed with a few of them but I stayed busy . I focused on just getting the job done. ” After the fifth round , and on the advice of Dimitrenko’s corner , referee Ray Corona stopped the bout before round six could commence . Ruiz was comfortably ahead on all three scorecards and set his sights on another top heavyweight contender for his possible next opponent . “For my next fight there’s somebody like me , a chubby exciting fighter I want ,” said Ruiz . “Adam Kownacki I’m ready , let’s do this. ” The opening bout on FOX saw unbeaten top contender Brandon “Heartbreaker ” Figueroa (19-0, 14 KOs) earn the Interim WBA Super Bantamweight title by stopping Yonfrez Parejo (22-4-1, 11 KOs) after eight rounds of action . Parejo did not answer the bell for round nine , forcing referee Jerry Cantu to stop the bout while Parejo was in the corner . “This is an amazing feeling and a dream come true ,” sagte Figueroa. “I can’t wait for what’s coming next.I thought I was going to finish him the next round . He had lasted pretty well but once I put the pressure up to another level , I knew he wouldn’t be able to continue. ” The 22-year-old Figueroa used his signature pressure early and often , walking through effective shots Parejo landed in the early rounds to establish his position in the fight . Parejo had success landing hooks while Figueroa was exposed on the inside , but was unable to avoid the return fire , especially the body shots that eventually led to the end of the fight . “He threw a lot of strong shots to the body and I felt my legs go at the end of the last round ,” said Parejo. ”He’s very strong but sometimes flat-footed and I was trying to take advantage of that . He was too strong tonight. ” Figueroa began to throw even more combinations in the late rounds , nullifying the offense that Parejo was trying to get going . His most prolific rounds were rounds four and five , where he landed 31 und 41 power punches respectively . After a one-sided round eight where Figueroa out landed Parejo 33 bis 15, it had become clear that Parejo didn’t have enough on his punches to stop the onslaught . The referee stopped the bout after consulting with Parejo before the start of the ninth round , officially giving Figueroa the victory . “My conditioning was amazing and I felt strong every round ,” sagte Figueroa. “I’m next in line and I’m ready for anyone. ”After the card on FOX , PBC Fight Night Extra on FS1 and FOX Deportes was headlined by Jeison Rosario (19-1-1, 13 KOs) winning a split-decision over Jorge Cota (28-3, 25 KOs) von Partituren von 97-93 for Cota and 96-94 und 97-93 for Rosario in a 10-round super welterweight bout The FS1 portion kicked off with highly-touted prospect Rolando “Rollie ” Romero (9-0, 8 KOs) Ausschlagen Andres Figueroa (9-5, 5 KOs) 1:27 into round four of their lightweight fight .
