On June 27, at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Floyd Schofield delivered a career-best performance by demolishing Tevin Farmer in the opening round of their lightweight clash. It was his first fight since his entertaining win over Rene Tellez Giron, and he announced his return to big-time boxing against Farmer, following his high-profile withdrawal from a bout against Shakur Stevenson.
