- 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.
"I felt that I boxed beautifully,” said Lara. “It was a work of art, like a Picasso. I negated everything Danny had. He's a great fighter and a Hall of Famer just like me. I used lateral movement with a long jab to land my big shots, just like you learn at the Cuban school of boxing.”
Garcia trailed 88-82 on all three cards at the time of the stoppage but appeared to have his best round in the eighth, getting the nod on all three cards for the first time in the fight. However in round nine Lara again looked in control, eventually capping his performance with a clean left to the head that sent Garcia down for the first time in his career.
"The punches I was landing were hurting him,” said Lara. “That punch that ended the fight was a big shot.”
Garcia was able to make it to the corner after the bell ended round nine, but after a conversation with his father and trainer Angel Garcia, the corner officially waved off the bout.
"At the end of the day my dad is always gonna do what's best for me,” said Garcia. “I tried to conquer a third division and I came up short. I've been at the top of the game for a long time, I take this on the chin like a true champion."
Despite his status as boxing’s oldest world champion, Lara declared his intention to continue his illustrious career.
“I'm ready for the next challenge,” said Lara. “I'm here to stay. I have a lot of boxing left in me."

Garcia looked really old against a senior citizen.
He is not a senior citizen.but even if he was he would still kick your ass!lol.😆
garcia aint got that fire in him no more, you can lose it at any age
@@clawnz2193yup. You right. Body just won't react, hearts not in it, it happens a lot.
@@diongeorge5737that has nothing to do with anything
I guess his girl making only fans now
Man the speed of lara at 41 is unreal love to see it
Performance Enhancing Steroids... they're all on that stuff. floyd was the lance armstrong of Juice and cheating
Garcia is just slow as a molasses and just came for a check.
@@Genjuro77 i was referring to laras handspeed and ability to process in there.
Remember Lara is Cuban, 41 on paper is in reality 7-8 older... Like Ortiz vs wilder 1st fight on 2018, he was listed as 39, so on reality he was 46ish
@@EddyVal-l1n u cuban?🤣
Danny needs a farewell fight. Lara needs his flowers.
That was his farewell fight
Just had one. He's not gonna fight a Tomato can as they used to say for glory. He's been extremely inactive the last years of his career. He's got money, business, and lost his desire to fight some time ago imo.
Garcia needs to fight somebody like Keith Thurman
Danny was so slow.. I couldn’t believe what I was watching
I don't think he trained much his dad said they didnt do any sparring wtf
He fought 1 fight since 2020 he needed tune ups u cant be so inactive
He’s done
Danny has always been slow. He’s a counter puncher. He’s great at countering mistakes. With that much ring rust this result was bound to happen
He was never quick/fast anyways.. 🤦♂️😬🤦♂️
I can't believe that little flick jab dropped Garcia.... inactivity is a boxer's biggest opp
That was no flick jab
Lara literally punched through him
You never laced em up before huh
it may look like it, but it was a very stiff jab like a steel baseball bat poking you from a distance
That was a southpaw cross not a jab
@@MikeT-in1eg exactly, the commentator kept sayin it was a right even while watching the replay. it was a lovely shot
Lara must be the most underrated fighter of his generation. I remember him beating canelo quite comfortably and getting robbed guys a unbelievable talent
I remember he got beat by a bigger Hurd.
😂😂😂 canelo took him to shoool
He lost to Canelo.
Yall stay on Canelo’s nuts lol.
Lara has sneaky power and good ring IQ typical for a Cuban boxer. He could've put Danny's lights out if he had followed up with a straight right.
Wow. Danny was known for having a granite chin his entire career. He's faced big punchers like Keith Thurman and Lucas Matthysse and never went down. Danny was always durable so I'm surprised he got dropped here. I know he didnt see that punch coming but I still thought his chin would hold up. This is sad. That crop of welterweights I fell in love with back in 2016, are all coming to their ends.
Pbc welterweight was always overrated now they getting exposed
He went down on purpose. His heart ain’t in it no more.
Yeah and Lara is a legit middleweight while danny came from 140-147. Lara is a slick with a decent punching power, high IQ. What do you expect for your granite chin Danny?
@ElGinTV0407 exactly that. This is why people should respect Camelo for his efforts at 175, going up in weight is no joke.
That has nothing to do with his chin
Lara didnt looks like 41 He is still
young
Na. He definitely looks old in this fight.
Is he the same Lara that fought Canelos if is the one go n look the fight he beat Canelos but he was rub
2 years on inactivity + moving up 2 weight-classes AND already having been paid = losing to a 41 year, active, Champion.
His heart wasn't in it and he found out early. It was a good stoppage by his corner/father because Garcia had nothing.
He is blessed to be able to retire before 40 and with most his senses. His biggest challenge will be finding something to occupy his mind, hope he finds that quick.
Good comments and observations
Spot on observation, the heart tells the mind it's time to shut it down and find something just as meaningful to do while you still can.
He didn't even move up on 2 pounds he didn't go up to 160 they fighting at a catch weight for the middle weight title I don't get it
Lara such an exceptional talent .. boxing will miss when he retires
Idk who yall think Lara is, but Lara is one of the best boxers in the last 10-15 years. Let’s not act like he didn’t beat Canelo.
Pretty shocking and sad. Garcia did not want to be there the last two rounds. Credit to Lara who actually does carry power but the 2 year layoff killed whatever motivation Danny had left.
Danny should've fought a tune up fight instead in 154lbs, not an active fighter from a bigger weight class
Kind of like when Garcia fought rod salka....
@@bjuganda7758 True. Garcia wanted a belt at 160 but Lara was a bad matchup either way. A counter puncher with good pop. Rematch with Spence at 154 maybe. The rest of 154 is pretty stacked.
@@brianj.m.5016 Salka won that fight. He bet on himself getting knocked out in the 2nd.
@@bjuganda7758 thats partly why garcia went for the champion. he probably couldnt be motivated to fight anyone but the thought of a belt gave him enough motivation to get off the couch. but not enough to go life and death to get it.
Garcia looks like he took to much head damage already.
I already know before this fight gonna end in s disaster for Danny Garcia. Erislandy Lara is a active, high iq fighter. He just showed us tonight that being inactive for 2 years is the worst thing you can ever do
Unrated comment 💯
I agree but will also say Lara would've beat garcia at his best 9.9/10
It’s not about active or IQ. Danny is natural 140 pounder. Lara is 154-160 pounder. That’s all. Danny lost all big fights even at 147
Active? Lol..
Who didn't see it don't know boxing my brother. I Even bet on it
No more fire on Danny’s eyes and his dad knew it.
Always knew this would be a bad match up for Danny. Lara beats Garcia at any point of his career and any weight class, lara's skill level has always been grossly underrated!
3:30 3:30 3:30 3:30 los cubanos no venden, son correlones y vimos a un Dany García como ya acabado se ve que le entra al chupe.
Facts
Danny Garcia very limited fighter
Maybe underrated to fans but fighters knew Lara was high risk low reward kinda deal
Exactly, both in their prime and it would not have mattered. I'm surprised Danny's father thought this was a good idea. When I first heard the fight would happen I was shaking my head, what was Garcia's team thinking going up in weight to fight a physically stronger fighter with that skill level and power.
Danny is not interested anymore 😢
Now he’ll disappear like Thurman Porter And Spence
Hope Danny and family find peace. Danny didn’t wanted to be there, when he knocked out he look straight to his corner and wanted to cry. Looked like he was
Forced to fight.
Want*. Not wanted😂😂
There's a reason Floyd wanted no part of Lara.....he would of had my boy Floyd swinging in the air all day.
Shocked Danny quit and went out like that
His heart ain’t in it anymore. You could clearly tell. He has other endeavors and interests he’s been working on outside of boxing. It’s time for him to fully retire
Victor ortiz 2.0
That straight left that dropped him almost looked like a jab
You don’t play boxing. Garcia had a great career and fought everyone. He clearly got old. And he should def retire. Has nothing to be ashamed of at all. He dared to be great after years off and tried to move up 2 divisions and beat a very tough Lara
36 ain't old; else what was Mayweather and what is Crawford? still went up & going up and dominating champions. Also Lara is 5 years older than Danny at 41 so NO EXCUSES
Lara is the old one lmfaoooo
Plus he didn't fight everyone. He ducked Crawford and still does
@@Christopher-side_dude-Muricanmayweather and Crawford are two of the best of all time lmao
Lara is literally 41 y.o and now you are calling Danny old? Quit the excuse and "dare to be great" bs. He got schooled so bad that he faked a KO to quit. This fight was a total mismatch.
Danny took the best shot from Thurman, Matthysse, who is known to be one of the hardest hitting in welterweight division without problem but got dropped by just a normal shot from Lara. Damn I can't believe it because he has had a granite chin beside Canelo for me.
There are weight classes for a reason, there is a power difference and difference in durability. Going up two weight classes matters. Garcia's team is well aware of this, what were they thinking.
Even when Lara fight canelo I think in my personal opinion Lara win that fight by split decision
Lose by SD robbery
Lol..Lara just runs not boxing..if she fights Canelo..she will be K.O..that's why she runs she's scared😂
Body shots count and Canelo was landing them all night long. No robbery here. Now Lara vs Williams…THAT was a robbery.
How can your opinion be that someone wins or loses by split decision?! 🤷🏼♂️😂 Either you thought he won or he didn’t; an individual can’t give a “split decision”.
@@Mockle07 don't make sense if you can win by stoppage ud MD I do it all the time on FanDuel
Even at both their peaks, I still think Lara would've beaten Danny. Would've probably went 12 but still got the W
The American Dream that beat CANela Alvaroids
Being a part time boxer finally caught up with Danny Garcia 😐💯
Lara beat Canelo 10 years ago, we all remember it.
Agreed
*ran from canelo
Ran
Yes boy
Garcia has already passed his prime long ago, literally don't know why he is still fighting. Damn he was a beast in his prime
Commentary bias against Lara as per usual 😂 Lara dismantling Garcia 😂
This should be captioned "when cherry picking goes horribly wrong."
Danny Garcia is officially done been done actually and I’m a fan of his i hate to see him go out like this tho getting stopped by a senior citizen is wild 😭
Lara isn’t a senior citizen he’s been a champion for 3 years
He's old in the game 😅@@adxlotladiosx4190
When he couldn’t beat a Spence after a vicious car accident I knew it was a wrap
Bro at this point Danny should consider retiring with that performance.
Much love to Lara the only active boxer from figh night champions on ps3
I wish Golovkin would have fought Lara before he retired. Would not be surprised if Lara upset him.
Take nothing away from Lara, but it looked like Garcia threw the fight against 41 year old!! 🤷🏿♂️😂
What
He’s just a basic fighter out of his weight class
I agree
Didnt look like Danny threw anything, he just looked soft, slow and unmotivated. Mental issues and not fighting for a couple of years can wreck a fighter.
He rather make sure his taper fade is tight than win a fight again
41 like 30 😎😎😎
I’m 46 and still balling with the 30yr and younger. So “you ain’t ever lie”
Man 2:57 really says a lot. Angel better keep an eye and advice on Danny after retirement.
Sad to see such a fighter like Garcia in those conditions 💔
I've watched Danny's fights for yearsbeating fighters like amir khan. I never thought I'd see a bad performance from this guy and even get dropped by a jab. Time to retire I'm afraid.
Sneaky straight left from the hip
Awesome job Laura! The hi lights show he convincingly looks in control as an older fighter and handles Danny well. Danny’s ring rust really shows and this is the first time I ever recall seeing him hurt or in danger of being knocked out.
Garcias corner must have asked him at least 10 times, "Are you alright?... something was wrong with Danny and the kneei down proved it
you can tell before the bell, the expression on garcias face looks like something is not right
Danny Garcia never makes adjustments. Limited fighter.
Facts, career was mid at best
This comment is hilarious because he was solid at doing this his whole career. He struggled when he moved up and really only against the best (struggled against slick boxers like this his whole career.)
@@BugsySiegel5he said something about being a for sure hall of famer if he beat lara
Definitely not a HOF’er
@@nadecha5326 Very solid for what he is but definitely not HOF.
I've never respected Angel Garcia more than I respect him now. That man truly loves his son. It's sad to see but I just feel that Danny might not have it in his heart anymore. If he still wants to fight, I think he should put in the work involved to lose weight and come back at 154 at the highest. I don't believe he is strong enough for 160. On the other hand, a masterful performance by a veteran in Erislandy Lara. Respect.
Danny needs to retire
Danny suffered from Depression and since then he feels less like a typical boxing dad coach and just a dad helping his son as best as he can with his boxing and looking out for him.
If Danny never had depression I felt like Angel would have forced him to carry on.
He knew they had the check already
Lara beats and stops Crawford. Crawford needs to stop thinking about Canelo 😂
U don't believe that. Crawford, the best of this generation!
Mfs get on here and say ANYTHING 😭
@macaronitoni598 did you see his last fight and previous fights? People are only gassed up by that Spence fight, he fought a dude coming off major injuries and a long layoff. Crawford most of the time is in life and death fights. His opposition hasn't been the greatest either
@@ghsense2626 4 division champ 2x undisputed...... I mean who else has done it 🔥 if it was easy it would be done by every boxer
@@ghsense2626 he’s in mostly life or death fights? How?? Lara opposition weren’t all in their prime, neither was Floyd’s or any other champion or all time great. It’s too much time being spent trying to discredit boxers instead of appreciating their skills. And that’s normally due to just pure hate for a boxer cuz he beat your favorite boxer, or just novice casual fans who don’t really know wat real boxing skills look like. Wat real boxing iq is. Crawford has it at an elite level
This was painful to watch. Garcia gave fans so many great fights over his career and always had a granite chin. Can’t believe Lara put him down with a jab. Something was definitely off mentally in addition to the obvious ring rust. I wish Garcia the best.
lara a beast
@@shawnterrance7204 just like Ricardo Salas who knocked out villa better then that bum ennis 🤣 facts 💯
Man I forgot Lara was still in the fight game, but dude been a warrior since the early 2000's, salute to him...
Floyd, Pac, JMM are just Elite.
They were fighting the best at that age and still winning.
true floyd at 36 schooling a 23 yrs old canela 😅😅
Bud more elite than all them
Sugar done in this age, and what
Floyd wasn’t fighting guys with Physical advantage over him he always had the reach faster feet plus Kenny Bayless helping him.
Three of the best to ever lace’em up.
I have no idea why Garcia 's father send him to feed lara. Had him ever watched lara's fights? Size, speed, skill, reach advantage, Lara beats Garcia in every aspects.
Lara was just technically better but this was a case of WEIGHT CLASSES EXIST FOR A REASON. Terrence Crawford should take notes and stop all that Canelo bs
😂😂 put respect on bud name nigga
Agree. Lara vs bud would be more fun
@@chillvibes2978 Great idea . My guess is that right now Lara could beat Bud at 160.
@@peaceseeker9927 i think lara decision
Garcia couldn’t make 147 no more you bum, he said it himself and he said im naturally 160 already.
Lara has always been underated. Always proving people wrong.
LARA MOST UNDERRATED TECHNICAL GUY ,FAST FOR HIS AGE
-if it was some W guy they could have talked about him from east to west in their media.
That jab to the nose made Danny quit. Let's not get it twisted Lara is an old monster with a belt and the commentators no nothing about boxing and master classes 😎💪
García no debe pelear más está muy golpeado deben retirarle la licencia
Lara is probably 1 of the best southpaw fighter that gives any boxer trouble...he had canelo number already but judges saw sumthing else different
160 is disgraceful
Man respect for lara his 41 and his boxing condition still looking good
Shows what caliber fighter Lara is! Just beat Danny Garcia n beat Canelo also! Top underdog of our generation 👏
He beat the track not canelo
He lost to canelo clown
@@rodrigomarquinaestrada4049 Jabed canelos face all night wym lol
Garcia just couldn’t get past the Jab and gave up knew he had nothing left in the tank and honestly quit. Whackest fight if the night . Credit to LARA but complete mismatch and a robbery for PBC
I was there when Lara got robbed against Cownelo🐄 🍔 💉
damn this was the highlight video, then no need to watch the full fight.
140 pounder vs 160 pounder
One of the biggest mismatch in boxing history
Funny thing is Garcia looked like the bigger man
Cry more
140 vs 153 you wanted to say...
Lets go lara since 93 and im 🇯🇲🇺🇲🇹🇹🌎but lara been underrated all my life mostly
No wonder he didn't want to fight Bud then, he had no chance.
Sería interesante una pelea Lara versus Crawford
Garsia now only is part of history. Lara is 41 years old, but still can fight on championship level
Remember when the 8th division 🏆 makes his comeback.. see what happens.. from Sarangani 🇵🇭
Garcia was in for a pay day. Lara at 41 is in better shape and probably has always been the better fighter.
Lara is a legend Danny has balls and he lives to fight another day
Every time Garcia walked to his corner I saw a defeated fighter... this was painful to watch. I love the technical style of Lara but he did not have a worthy opponent in Garcia to utilise the depth of his skill.
Danny going into survival mode Vs a balding Lara is crazy. 😂
This is the first time I didn't hear garcia's dad act like a jackass before the fight.
Danny Garcia needs to retire before he gets seriously injured. He has given us (fans) enough of himself. May he retire with his faculties in tact. Angel save your son from further damage to his health & career. Please !!
THAT SPENCE FIGHT MESSED UP DANNY BUT HE HAD A GREAT CAREER ITS TIME💯
Most underrated the American dream
Man! My Puerto Ricans had a rough weekend!
Baru pertama dan saat ini saya melihat seorang daany garcia terjatuh hanya dengan pukulan ringan sepanjang karir profesionalnya saya tidak pernah melihat danny terjatuh mungkin saja danny sudah lelah saatnya pensiun🔥
Garcia had no business going up to 160... Dude never even did anything at 154. Guess he looked at the Champs there and thought "I don't have a chance" 😂
After being two years away and then coming back and wanting to fight an old timer good fighter champion, it’s not gonna be an easy task
Danny....sad to see this guy crumble....he wasn't an active fighter...once every yr or two.. Mentally broken now...his face said it all when he stood....
Man something was off with Danny dude literally quit man was one of my favorite fighters
Lara broke Garcia down round by round. This is what makes boxing great. Skills pay the bills, not just power. Oh yeah and PBC get some real commentators
Damn Danny this was heartbreaking to watch. Might be his last rumble. Great career Danny, always put on for Philly
Danny will always be a champion!👑 Danny got in the ring with the best! Proud of him and Angel. 🙏🏿
Bud should fight Lara....
5 belt incoming
Garcia moving up to 154 was not a good idea. Those boys are bigger and stronger than he is for sure.
Garcia should retire after this fight.
They taking way too much credit from Laura though HE hurt Danny at the end of the round before the TKO
Makes complete sense for terrance Crawford to go up to middleweight to fight Lara
Both Current WBA title holders
Another potential division if Crawford wins or a nice big payday for Lara and beating a legend
Erislandi Lara siempre ha sido elite
The disrespect for Lara was insane in the lead up.
Garcia siempre sera mi idolo este lara jamas lo podia venser en su mejor momento
Perfect performance by Lara. DG pivoted right back into that perfectly timed punch. Lara with two great performances, wouldnt mind seeing a rematch with Canelo 🔥
It’s time for Garcia to hang up the gloves. Retire
Garcia is done. Nice run but it's over.
Lara is so good man
Nobody gets a title shot after 2 years and Garcia all due respect he's done and I'm glad his father saw it.
Danny just wanted 1 last check can’t blame him ..
Fr. 😂
Cuando le van a dar el crédito que se merece. Es increíble.
