Video: Rising boxing star Ryan Garcia scores jaw-dropping first-round KO

We have an early Knockout of the Year contender courtesy of one of the rising talents in world boxing.

Lightweight prospect Ryan Garcia (20-0, 17 KOs) headlined a Valentine’s Day show in Anaheim, CA against two-time junior lightweight world title challenger Francisco Fonseca (25-3-2, 19 KOs). The popular Golden Boy promoted fighter thrilled the crowd with a vicious left hook shot that had Fonseca out before he hit the canvas.

Watch the video below, courtesy of DAZN. Hell, you might as well watch the whole damn fight since it’s not even two minutes long.

Garcia’s next opponent could be former lightweight champion Jorge Linares (47-5, 29 KOs), who picked up his own KO against Carlos Morales in the co-main event.
