Danny Garcia Retain His Light-Welterweight World Titles
The world title fight which was supposed to be won by whichever knock-out artist landed his big bomb first ended in an epic 12th round slugfest.
Danny Garcia, who knocked out Amir Khan, and Lucas Matthysse, who stopped Lamont Peterson who had beaten our former champion from Bolton, both proved they could take as well as deliver huge punches.
After they were dragged apart at the final bell, Garcia kept his unified world light-welterweight titles by unanimous decision.
He was helped to that victory by the gruesome swelling which closed his Argentine challenger’s right eye through the middle rounds. Two judges scored it 114-112 , the third 115-111, all for Garcia.
