Terry Flanagan dispatched of Diego Magdaleno, defending his WBO lightweight crown, and silencing critics who felt he won his title by default. After a slow start in the opening round, Flanagan overwhelmed the outmatched and seemingly nervous Magdaleno quickly in the second, swarming the American contender to close the fight out in devastating fashion.
American upstart and Boxcino champ, John Thompson came out of the gates swiftly with a solid jab-first approach against the rugged Liam Smith. The young Smith didn't do much of anything in the first five rounds of the fight falling way behind early. But, a few hard shots in the sixth round softened up the legs of Thompson and Smith capitalized in the seventh round. Liam Smith knocked the wobbly Thompson flat on his face, raising the WBO junior-middleweight strap, and becoming the first of his brothers to become a world champion.
Jorge Linares made short work versus Ivan Cano in front of a packed house in Caracas, Venezuela. The Mexican challenger was no match for the highly skilled and powerfully precise Linares, as the WBC lightweight champ ended the scrap in the fourth round by way of thudding body shot.

Viktor Postol dominated Lucas Matthysse by way of devastating 10th round knockout to become the new WBC junior-welterweight champion. The undefeated Ukrainian had waited patiently for his chance at the 140-pound title, and it became clear why Danny Garcia decided to pay-off Postol instead of facing his mandatory challenger. Matthysse had no answers for the crafty Postol who utilized his height and reach advantages throughout the fight to frustrate the Argentine slugger. The guys discuss what lay ahead for both fighters after this pivotal championship fight. Plus, a recap of Humberto Soto vs. Antonio Orozco.
Coming off of an uninspiring loss to Shawn Porter earlier this year, Adrien Broner returned to action to square off against Khabib Allakhverdiev for the vacant WBA junior-welterweight title. Broner did exactly what his handlers planned for him in this sham title fight. He defeated a hand-picked fighter who was also coming off of a loss, but Allakhverdiev's loss was almost two years ago. Plus a recap of the co-feature, Jose Pedraza vs. Edner Cherry.
