On this episode of PBC Jabs we recap our thrilling October 14th FOX and Showtime cards and we go another round of PBC Trivia! 

On October 14th PBC brought you an action-packed night of fights. We kicked off the evening from StubHub Center in Carson, California as featherweight world champs Abner Mares and Leo Santa Cruz put on a show in front of their hometown fans of Los Angeles! Abner Mares was up first as he defended his title against Andres Gutierrez. Mares controlled the fight from the beginning and earned a stoppage due to a cut over Gutierrez’s left eye resulting in a 10th round technical decision victory. Then, fellow 126-pound titleholder Leo Santa Cruz faced Chris Avalos. Santa Cruz stepped on the gas from the opening bell hurting Avalos in the fourth round. “El Terremoto” then poured on an offensive onslaught in the eighth to stop Avalos by TKO. Both Mares and Santa Cruz looked impressive Saturday night and talked about a 2018 rematch!

After our FOX show, PBC continued on Showtime from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York with three 154-pound world title fights. In the main event, Erislandy Lara put his WBA title on the line against undefeated 2012 U.S. Olympian Terrell Gausha. After dropping Gausha to the mat in the fourth, Lara boxed his way to a unanimous decision victory and seventh title defense. Then, WBC 154-pound champ Jermell Charlo defended his title against top contender Erickson Lubin. Charlo wasted no time, landing a devastating right uppercut in the first 20 seconds of the fight that sent Lubin to the canvas. 

CORRECTION: The KO occurred in the final 20 seconds of the first round. 

Definitely a candidate for Knockout of the Year. And, IBF 154-pound champ Jarrett Hurd made his first title defense against former world champ Austin Trout. It was an entertaining back and forth battle, each landing big shots that damaged one another’s eyes. Trout’s eyes became so swollen in the 10th round that his corner stopped the fight making Hurd the first fighter to ever stop Trout.
