Zuffa Boxing held their fifth event inside the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, and there were some notable happenings inside the ring.

We’ve compiled some of the best highlights from the latest Zuffa Boxing event for those that weren’t able to catch the show.

Early in the night, Tony Hirsch Jr. pulled off a major upset against Roger Merriweather despite being a -2400 underdog on several sportsbooks.

Later, Alexis De La Cerda provided a knockout of the year candidate when he brutally KOed undefeated Ervin Fuller III in the third round of their fight.

Former boxing champ Mark Magsayo displayed his skills by outclassing his opponent, Feargal McCrory, forcing McCrory’s corner to stop the fight in the fifth round to prevent further punishment.
