    For featherweights Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia and Matt Remillard, their fight was an opportunity for one of them to take a big step toward a possible title shot as they made their HBO debuts in a matchup of undefeated up-and-coming fighters.

    Garcia is the one who took that step forward.

    He displayed poise and professionalism as he methodically beat Remillard to the punch throughout the fight and scored three knockdowns in a 10th-round knockout Saturday night at the Adrian Phillips Ballroom at Boardwalk Hall in the co-featured fight on the card headlined by featherweight titlist Yuriorkis Gamboa's defense against Jorge Solis.

    Garcia's hand speed and uppercuts softened Remillard up before he poured it on in the ninth round.
