Thomas Carty vs. Jonathan Vergara

Round 1: The fight is off to a measured start, but both men are finding a home for their jabs. Nothing committal has landed though. Carty with a nice jab to the body. He's heavy on the front foot before lunging in with a long right hook, leading to a brief clinch. A one-two for Vergara.

Carty is back on the pressure, which Vergara tries to ward off with a body jab. This is a close round so far, but just like that Carty scores the biggest shot of the fight so far with a right hand that sends Vergara stumbling backward. There's a clear difference in power and physicality.

Round 2: A jab for Carty, and a counter-jab from Vergara. Still a relatively tentative bout. More jabs for the Englishman, but Vergara fires back with his own, landing a slick combination before pivoting out of the pocket. However, a second exchange in the pocket sees Carty land a hard shot to the body that folds Vergara.

It was a thunderous left hook to the liver, and and while Vergara beat the count, Carty rushed him and knocked him down for a second time. He would not get up again.
