Filipino boxer Romero Duno suffered a brutal stoppage defeat to young prospect Ryan Garcia in the undercard of the Canelo Alvarez-Sergey Kovalev bout, Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (Sunday in Manila).
The 21-year-old Garcia landed a right hand that sent Duno to the canvas, just 98 seconds into the bout.
The referee stopped the bout despite Duno's attempts to recover. The Filipino dropped to 12-2 in his boxing career, losing for the first time since May 2016.
Garcia, meanwhile, rose to 19-0.

"All respect to Duno," Garcia said after the bout. "He came in shape. He caught me with that overhand right… I took it. From there, I knew I could just keep taking 'em and keep coming at him."
"When I took his best shot, I felt good," he added.
Garcia won the WBC silver lightweight title with his victory.
