Lara vs Garcia FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS- September 14, 2024 - PBC PPV on Prime Video

WBA Middleweight World Champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (31-3-3, 19 KOs) scored his fourth-straight knockout as he stopped former two-division champion Danny “Swift” Garcia (37-4, 21 KOs) after nine rounds. The matchup pitted two of this era’s most accomplished fighters against each other, as the two had combined to face 21 world champions heading into the fight.

"I'm okay. I came off a two year layoff and tried to be great, and it wasn't my night,” said Garcia. “No excuses. I didn't think the layoff would affect me like that, but there's no excuses. I couldn't find my rhythm. He had a strong jab and was controlling the distance well.”

Boxing’s oldest reigning world champion and the oldest Cuban world champion of all time, Lara showed off the signature boxing skills that have allowed him to remain at the top of the sport for years. Lara’s movement held Garcia to just a 17% connect rate, while Lara was able to land over 37% of his power punches.
