    Nah, it was legit. A big grazing hook on the back of the head that KTFO DUNO. He took the right well but that left hook he did not.

    I don't believe the left hook even landed. Re played it in slo mo punch never landed. Garcia is the future golden boy, this was his time to make
    a statement hence the dramatic first round ko, hence the over dramatic dive with the ref instantly calling it off.

    You know damn well those Reynoso's always have access to the finest beef available. So no, it was quite legit.

    The left hook landed on the back of the head. Grazing shot! Duno just like Kovalev had a fight a month ago where he looked slow. Had 4 fights against tough Mexicans this year alone. Do i believe he was burnt out? maybe.

    But no excuses he was too aggressive.
    Don't think it would have made a difference but i doubt he would get KTFO that early if he just played smart in the first round he might of made it to round 2. LOL.

    There's a lot of discussion still surrounding the conclusion of the main event... but this "KO" is the one that actually looks suspicious.

    "Weak ass punch"? I hate Kingry, and love Duno but, no, sadly, that was legit.

    Pretty good acting the way he almost tore his ACL and bounced his own head off the ground
