Schofield destroys Farmer in one round

Floyd Schofield Jr. TKO1 Tevin Farmer.... Floyd Schofield Jr. got a career-best win in Anaheim, California, destroying former 130-pound champion Tevin Farmer in the first round of their lightweight contest. Schofield knocked down Farmer twice and was on the verge of the third knockdown when the referee intervened to save Farmer from further punishment. Schofield shed some tears afterwards. Just 22 years old, Schofield has been tormented on social media for pulling out of a world title shot after initially agreeing to challenge Shakur Stevenson for the WBA title. Schofield also said he was good friends with Farmer. Schofield is now 19-0 and deserves to zoom up the lightweight rankings after looking not-so-great in his last fight, a decision win over Rene Tellez Giron. Farmer (33-9-1) has now lost four in a row, but the last two were very competitive twelve-round fights vs. WBC interim titlist William Zepeda, with Farmer narrowly losing both on the scorecards.
