Garcia came into the fight weighing 128 pounds, which is two pounds over the featherweight limit, while Lopez was weighed at 125 1/2.

The 25-year-old Garcia won the fight after sending Lopez crashing to the canvas with a strong left-hand at 1:34 into the fourth round. Lopez managed to get to his feet but referee Rafael Ramos called for the bell.

Garcia landed 53 punches while Lopez connected only on 23.
