Sandor Martin scores stunning upset of former four-division champion Mikey Garcia

Martin entered the bout as a massive betting underdog to Garcia in his opponent's backyard

Mikey Garcia made his way to the ring on Saturday night in Fresno, California, riding on a flatbed trailer as fireworks shot off around the arena. Unfortunately for Garcia, he was unable to produce any fireworks in the ring, dropping a decision to unheralded Sandor Martin in an upset that ranks among the biggest in recent memory. Garcia's footwork was slow as Martin made good on pre-fight talk that he would take away Garcias's normally effective aggression. Martin slid along the outside of the ring, popping off quick punches, including repeatedly connecting with a hard overhand left. By the late rounds of the 10-round fight, Garcia seemed hesitant to come forward, potentially worried about the speed and clean punching from the Spaniard as the Fresno crowd's enthusiasm drained.
