Left-handed underdog Garcia looked more interesting: he moved well, combined great, solidly defended with his body. But Vidal had the superiority in power. In the 4th round, the American coolly intercepted the attack of the Uruguayan, clamped it against the ropes and sent it to the canvas. He never got up.
