Lightweight contender Floyd Schofield (19-0, 13 KOs) completely annihilated Tevin Farmer (33-9-1, 8 KOs) by a first-round technical knockout on Saturday night in their scheduled 10-round undercard fight at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Farmer, 36, came out of the blocks looking slow, pawing with his jaw, bending forward in front of the young power-puncher Schofield. The former IBF super featherweight champion Farmer appeared to be unprepared, and he paid the price.
Schofield unleashed a straight right that knocked Farmer to the canvas. When Tevin got to his feet, he looked dazed, letting the referee know he was okay. He wasn’t. Schofield went after him like a hungry shark, connecting with three big shots to put Farmer down for a second time.
Surprisingly, the referee, Gerald White, allowed the fight to continue despite Farmer not appearing to be mentally present. Schofield then tagged him with three booming punches, leaving the referee no choice but to halt the contest. The time was at 1:18 of round one.
Final punch stats
- Schofield: 8 of 14 punches thrown for 57%
- Farmer: 1 of 2 shots for 50%
