Jordan White didn’t need much time to make a statement Friday in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
The rising 130-pound prospect knocked previously unbeaten Eridson Garcia (17-1, 11 KOs) out cold with a single left hook in the opening round in a scheduled 10-round bout in the “ShoBox: The Next Generation.”
The two were still in the process of feeling one another out when a counter from White landing squarely on Garcia’s chin, knocking him flat on his back and out.
The official time of the stoppage was 1:57 of the first round.
White (15-1, 10 KOs) has now won 11 consecutive fights since he was outpointed by Adam Lopez in 2017.
In the co-feature, junior middleweights Paul Kroll (10-0-2, 6 KOs) and Guido Schramm (16-1-2, 9 KOs) fought to a majority draw in an eight-round bout.
