CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- Mikey Garcia stopped defending champion Rocky Martinez 56 seconds into the eighth round Saturday night to take the WBO junior lightweight title. The 25-year-old Garcia, from Oxnard, Calif., floored Martinez with an uppercut, sending the Puerto Rican fighter to the canvas for the first time in his career. "I thought it was a very good punch when I landed it," Garcia said. "I felt I really hurt him, enough to where he wouldnt get up. I had a feeling it would be over after I connected." Garcia improved to 33-0 with his 28th knockout. Martinez dropped to 27-2-2. After falling down with 15 seconds left in the second round, Garcia weathered through five mostly calm rounds at American Bank Center before launching his attack in the sixth. Garcia finished the seventh round by connecting on a right uppercut and, with many in the crowd of 5,124 cheering him, ended it in the eighth. "I felt his power from the very first punch," said the 30-year-old Martinez, whose last bout was a 12-round split decision in April against previously undefeated Diego Magdaleno. "Hes a strong fighter. I knew I was fighting a high quality opponent and I knew when I knocked him down the first time that he wasnt hurt." The two fighters were on the same card Jan. 19 in New York when Garcia won the WBO world featherweight title with an eight-round technical decision over Orlando Salido, and Martinez held on to his junior lightweight belt with a draw against Juan Burgos. Garcia was stripped of his featherweight title in June, when he failed to make weight for a defence against Juan Manuel Lopez. On Friday, Garcia weighed in a quarter-pound under the 130-pound limit. Martinez connected on only 14 per cent of his punches, including 10 per cent of his jabs. Garcia, who came into the fight in the rare position of both challenger and favourite, connected on nearly half of his 127 power punches, which included the 16th knockout punch in his last 18 fights. In the final three rounds, Garcia landed 52 punches to Martinezs eight. The bout was the main event on a nine-match slate. In a rematch of a 2007 fight in Bridgeport, Conn., 37-year-old Vic Darchinyan seemed ready avenge the loss that cost him the IBF flyweight title, but 31-year-old Filipino star Nonito Donaire floored him twice in the eighth round. Donaire improved to 32-2 with his 20th knockout, and Darchinyan fell to 39-6-1 "We were doing great up until that point," Darchinyan said. "I felt I was winning the fight. He caught me with a few shots and thats just the way it goes." Donaire connected on more than half of his power punches. He had surgery on his right shoulder after his most recent fight, a loss by decision to Guillermo Rigondeaux. "Vic hit me hard and it felt like he broke my jaw earlier in the fight and all I was thinking was, Im going to lose," Donaire said. "But I continued fighting and found an opportunity to land a great shot." Demetrius Andrade, from Providence, R.I., won the vacant WBO junior middleweight title, outpointing Armenian-born Vanes Martirosyan in a split decision. Andrade improved to 20-0, and Martirosyan dropped to 33-1-1. "We stuck to our game plan, which was jab, jab, jab," Andrade said. "We werent prepared for the fast knockdown and we had to play a little catch-up after that." In the first featured fight, Jamaicas Nicholas Walters (23-0, 19 KOs) claimed the WBA featherweight title with a fourth-round technical knockout of Mexicos Alberto Garza (25-6-1).

Kranjcar, who is in the best form of his Rangers career following his summer move from New York Cosmos, has been ruled out for six months with a cruciate knee ligament injury suffered in training.Midfield partner Joey Barton is now training with the U20s after having his club suspension lifted on Wednesday and, despite uncertainty over the former Burnley stars future at Ibrox, Warburton insists the players at his disposal could negate the need for a recruitment drive in January. Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News HQ, the former Brentford manager said: There is a clear six-month rehabilitation Niko will go through now which is frustrating for everyone as he worked so hard to get to the level he is at now. Niko Kranjcar facing six months out with serious knee injury He was impacting games and you could see that quality in his performances. We were delighted with him and he was being rewarded for the hard work he was putting in. But the staff here will look after him, he will get the best treatment and we look forward to welcoming him back sooner rather than later.Warburton refused to be drawn on the Barton saga and was equally non-committal when asked if new faces were required to bolster the squad in the winter window. Joey Barton future unclear as he continues to train with Rangers U20s Well look if possible, he said. Obviously if it is right to get a suitable loanee in, hopefully from a Premier League club, if it is available to us.But if not theres strength in the squad. We have young Jordan Rossiter returning from injury, Matt Crooks getting nearer match fitness now as well so as I say give and take hopefully. Well miss Niko of course but there is some good young talent coming through the squad. Fit-again Jordan Rossiter is back to bolster Rangers squad Rangers take on Ross County live on Sky Sports this Sunday and Warburton expects a tough encounter against a quality side in Dingwall.dddddddddddd.County earned a point from a goalless draw at Ibrox in September but Warburton is convinced his side have improved since then and are now playing some of their best football of the season. Matt Crooks is nearing match fitness, according to boss Mark Warburton Ross County marked the start of the upturn in form we were looking for, he said. We created a lot of chances that day but didnt get the rewards, unfortunately. We know they are a very good side and some of their results of late havent reflected the quality of their performance.We know the quality they possess within their ranks, we know how well they are managed and there is no doubt it is a tough place to go to. But we are looking forward to it. Ross Co vs Rangers November 6, 2016, 11:30am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass We are in good form.
