A brief interruption in action during the eighth round was caused by a situation outside the ring. It was swiftly handled and the bout continued with the two trading hooks and body shots that shook both fighters.

In his ring interview, Garcia said he was blinded by Davis’ TKO winning strike.

Garcia didn’t suffer any apparent damage to the soft tissue or the orbital bone. Davis hit Garcia so hard that he was temporarily blinded and didn’t know where he was. Even Davis was impressed after the fact.
