Sri Lanka 157 ‘All Out’ in Through the Second ARAB TIMES, MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021 SPORTS 14 Undefeated 22-year-old Californian records his 18th knockout in 21 fights Young rising star Garcia stops Campbell in 7th round DALLAS, Jan 3, (AP): Ryan Garcia says he had never been knocked down before when an early blow sent the rising star to the canvas in his biggest test yet against Luke Campbell. The 22-year-old Californian had an impressive response, staggering Campbell with a body blow to win a WBC lightweight title fight on a sev- enth-round knockout Saturday night. Garcia was in control when his left hand crushed Campbell’s right side and sent the English fighter to one knee at 1:58 of the seventh. Campbell couldn’t get up, giving the undefeated Garcia his 18th knockout in 21 fights. “That was the hardest shot I was ever hit with,” Campbell said. “I tried and tried to get up, but I couldn’t. I felt him coming on, and I was moving back, and when you move back, my body relaxed a little bit and that’s the exact time he hit me.” Campbell (20-4) knocked down Garcia with a left hook in the second round, but didn’t land many other punch- es while Garcia was the more aggressive fighter until the decisive blow. The bout was postponed about a BOXING month because Campbell tested posi- tive for COVID-19. It was moved to Texas because of coronavirus restric- tions in Garcia’s home state. “I’ve never been dropped in my life,” said Garcia, who is matching his large social media following with a flair for the dramatic inside the ring. “I think I got a little too excited in the moment.” Campbell had lost two previous title fights after winning a gold medal at his home Olympics in London in 2012. It was the fifth straight knockout for Garcia since what his camp con- sidered a disappointing majority deci- New Zealand’s Matt Henry fields the ball off his own bowling during play on the first day of the second cricket Test between Pakistan and New Zealand at Hagley Oval, Christchurch, New sion over Carlos Morales in 2018. Zealand, Sunday, Jan 3. (AP) “This is the kind of fight where superstars are made,” promoter Oscar De La Hoya said. “Down on the mat early for the first time in his career, Ryan got up, rallied, broke down his man and got the knockout.” Garcia easily won the first round before Campbell’s left hook midway Sri Lanka 157 ‘all out’ in through the second. Garcia regained con- trol by continuing to attack and by the fourth round asserted himself with a right-left combination and a quick answer to a strong right from the lefty Campbell. “I was a little dizzy with the knock- down, but I wasn’t worried,” Garcia said. “He’s not used to going forward, 2nd Test, S.
