Floyd Schofield redeemed himself brilliantly by decisively defeating Tevin Farmer in their lightweight matchup on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr..
Previously criticized for withdrawing from a fight with Shakur Stevenson in February, Schofield faced backlash when he pulled out just before the match, which allowed Stevenson to fight Josh Padley instead.
Despite being a -250 favorite, Schofield delivered a powerful right hand that knocked Farmer down within 35 seconds! After getting back to his feet, Farmer was quickly dropped again before the referee stopped the fight. The final stats were telling: Schofield landed 8 of 14 punches, while Farmer managed just one.
After the match, an emotional Schofield expressed relief, saying, “It just feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I鈥檝e been doubted since what happened in February. A lot of people didn鈥檛 think I would win this fight. It鈥檚 just a lot of emotions. … my baby boy kept me here.”
