Charlo used his height and jab to control the fight and keep the tenacious Campfort from getting inside and causing any damage to the defending champion. In the second round, Charlo landed a two-punch combo that ended with a right cross to send Campfort to the canvas. The trouble continued for Campfort in round three as Charlo connected on a strong left hook that put Campfort down a second time.

Referee Mark Calo-oy stopped the fight 1:16 into round four. Charlo outlanded Campfort 62-11 over the four rounds and landed 30% of his power punches. Welterweight rising star Errol Spence Jr (19-0, 16 KOs) put on a dominating performance in front of his hometown fans, stopping the tough and gritty Alejandro Barrera (26-3, 17 KOs) in round five.

Spence wasted no time in calling out the big boys in the welterweight division when asked immediately after the fight, “Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, I want the big names.” Spence is now ranked in the top 10 of the IBF.
