    Garcia vs Vidal HIGHLIGHTS: April 3, 2023 | PBC on Showtime



    Fast-rising teenager Elijah Garcia (14-0, 12 KOs) rose to the occasion in a massive step-up fight, dropping and stopping previously undefeated middleweight contender Amilcar Vidal, Jr. (16-1, 12 KOs) with a barrage of punches at 2:17 of the fourth round. Watch the KO HERE.

    From the opening bell, Garcia initiated a two-way action fight that came to a sudden end when Vidal was stunned by a right hand to the head and retreated against the ropes in search of cover. The 19-year-old Garcia sensed he had hurt his opponent and pounced, unleashing a flurry of punches that dropped Vidal and forced referee Jack Reiss to stop the fight.

    “This is what everyone dreams of, so this isn’t a surprise,” said Phoenix’s Garcia, who has now stopped six of his last seven opponents. “This is what I worked for since I turned pro so we’re going to keep moving forward one step at a time.”

    Through just three-and-a-half rounds of a back-and-forth affair, both fighters were bloodied and combined for 189 punches landed and 593 punches thrown. The power punches were the difference in the fight as Garcia landed 54 percent of his power punches to Vidal’s 46 percent. In the fourth round, Garcia landed 62 percent of his power punches including the all-decisive final blows.

    “I stay ready and mentally I’m strong,” Garcia continued. “I know mentally I might have lost the first couple of rounds, but I was breaking him down. He started backing up. He’s a great opponent. No disrespect to him. I caught him and I finished him. I’m not sure what I hurt him with, but I know I hurt him and for me being 19 I have the maturity to tell if they’re hurt or not.”

    After emphatically announcing himself to the boxing world in his national television debut, Garcia promised that his newly earned fans would be seeing plenty more of him.

    “I might become a champion before I’m 21 or 22,” he said. “I might be ahead of schedule.”

  • Amilcar Vidal Jr. vs. Dominicio Rondon in Uruguay – World Boxing Association

    Amilcar Vidal Jr. vs. Dominicio Rondon in Uruguay – World Boxing Association


    Uruguayan fighter Amilcar Vidal Jr. will be back in the ring to face the experienced Venezuelan Dominicio Rondon this Saturday in Montevideo, Uruguay. 

    The fight will be scheduled for 10 rounds and will be the main event of the evening to be held at the Radisson Victoria Plaza, in the Uruguayan capital; in addition, it will be broadcast live by TyC Sports Argentina. 

    Vidal Jr. (16-1) faces this duel after a complicated defeat earlier this year by knockout against American boxer Elijah Garcia (15-0).  

    However, he was on a good streak before that defeat and now his intention is to recover the winning path to continue his growth. 

    The South American is 27 years old and lives in the United States, specifically in Las Vegas, the city where he held his training camp. 

    On the other hand, Venezuelan boxer Dominicio Antonio Rondón, returns to action after a little more than a year of inactivity. His last bout was early last year in his homeland, where he defeated his compatriot, José Rafael Marcano (1-3), by knockout in the first round. 

    Rondon (17-5 / 11KO) accumulates 50% knockout power and has a winning streak of three wins, two of them by knockout, and two losses in his last five fights.
