Recap 360 pro11/8/2023 ![]() ![]() O’Connor ended his layoff with an impressive victory and is now 31-3-1, while Garcia is now 13-2-1 with the defeat. The fight was one-sided and was stopped in the fourth round. Garcia was game, but was never able to get any momentum and kept getting caught when he tried to initiate any offense. The hand speed of O’Connor was the difference early, as he showed no ill effects from his extended layoff. Danny O’Connor was in the ring for the first time since 2018, and his opponent Luis Garcia in action for the first time since 2020. The co-main event featured two fighters trying to prove a point coming off of long layoffs. A fight between the two certainly intrigues me and would be a great opportunity for both to pick up a major win and become a player in the middleweight division. Hogan is a 6’3″ middleweight with a 77″ reach who like Walsh was an amateur standout. Walsh improved to 6-0 with 5 KOs, and called out Francis Hogan who fought earlier on the undercard and hopes they can make a fight this year. Walsh is trained by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and is heavily promoted by UFC president Dana White, so if this is your first time hearing about him, I doubt it will be your last. Walsh would go on to score three knockdowns in the second round and score a lopsided TKO victory. Tucker was defensively responsible early, but Walsh did a great job of landing his right hook to the body when Tucker was in the high guard. Though he was in with an opponent he did not prepare for, Walsh fought as if he had a full camp to prepare for Tucker.įrom the opening bell, Walsh was on the front foot bringing the fight to Tucker. Walsh was originally set to square off against a taller pressure fighter, and got sparred with highly respected long time contender Gabe Rosado (26-16-1, 15 KOs) in camp. He was opposite of Wesley Tucker, who took the fight on short notice but is a tricky southpaw who looked to spoil the event and score a massive upset. The main event was the first ten rounder in the career of rising Irish prospect “King” Callum Walsh. It was promoted by Tom Loeffler and 360 Promotions, as well as UFC President Dana White. Though I was not able to attend the event in person, I watched it live on UFC Fight Pass. All rights reserved.Tonight there was a boxing card at Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts. ![]()
