When Luis Collazo was fighting championship fights on HBO, Alan Sanchez was barely old enough to drive a car and hadn’t fought as a professional yet.

That experience helped guide the battle-tested Collazo (34-5, 17 knockouts) to a unanimous-decision victory over the ten-year younger Sanchez (12-3-1, 6 KOs) in their ten-round main event on Fox Sports 1’s second Monday night broadcast.

The two felt each other out in the opening round, but Collazo showed his sharpness early, landing straight lefts regularly. Sanchez didn’t open up until a few rounds later, and began landing straight right hands, though Collazo would occasionally land a pretty counter.

Come-backing young middleweight Daniel Jacobs impressively stopped former title challenger Giovanni Lorenzo in the third round in the 10-round main event of Fox Sports 1's debut Monday night broadcast of the new Golden Boy on FOX series.

Emanating from the Best Buy Theatre in New York, the bout was a solid crossroads bout between two New York-based fighters looking to make a statement on this inaugural broadcast.

The fight began slowly with Jacobs (26-1, 23 knockouts) edging the first two rounds. It seemed Lorenzo was breaking through with some rough tactics in the third before Jacobs dropped him on his face when the two were exchanging.
