ShoBox: The New Generation often showcases the fighters that have the potential of being a future world champion or, in some cases, a star in the sport. Super featherweight prospect Jordan ‘Short Dog’ White (15-1, 11 KOs) scored a vicious knockout over Eridson Garcia (17-1, 11 KOs) with only seconds remaining in the first round.
Their fight was the main event on ShoBox: The New Generation, and with Bill Haney celebrating with the young 25-year-old, a video call was presented to White, and it was the undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney congratulating him on his knockout. The two have known each other since they were teens, and the champ was there to congratulate White. Twitter exploded over the knockout on Friday night, and here are some of the reactions.
