Undercard Results
Jayson Velez vs. Salvador Sanchez II
The undefeated Jayson Velez made very short work of Salvador Sanchez II, who looks exactly like his uncle and namesake, but fights nothing like him. Velez was just of a completely different class. He sent Sanchez down in the 2nd, and again in the 3rd, before the fight was stoppage. Velez wins by TKO3.
Next up, Velez is slated to get a title shot against Daniel Ponce de Leon.

Danny Jacobs continued his comeback with a dominant showing over the outmatched Chris Fitzpatrick. Jacobs dominated from the outset, besides taking off the 4th round to recoup a bit after dishing out some damage in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
Jacobs took over physically and athletically, and he was just too much for Fitzpatrick to handle. After the 5th round, Fitzpatrick’s corner pulled the plug and didn’t let him come back to take any more damage.
Danny Jacob via TKO5.
