NEW YORK – Vito Mielnicki Jr. accomplished something Saturday night that a proven veteran couldn’t do two months earlier. The 20-year-old Mielnicki stopped Jimmy Williams in the sixth round of their eight-round junior middleweight match on the Danny Garcia-Jose Benavidez Jr. undercard at Barclays Center. Williams was still standing when referee Johnny Callas called an end to the action at 2:12 of the sixth round.
Danny Garcia was one pound overweight the last time he arrived at Barclays Center for a weigh-in. Garcia made the welterweight limit that day for his 12-round fight versus Ivan Redkach in January 2020, but the Philadelphia native knew he wouldn’t be able to fight in the 147-pound division much longer. The former junior welterweight and welterweight champion had no such issue Friday.
