Moises Garcia stops Mike Tyson look-alike Evans at Butterfly Brawl 3

Moises Garcia halted D’Angelo “Muscle” Evans in round five at Butterfly Brawl 3, ending the light welterweight prospect’s momentum.

Moises “Bam-Bam” Garcia stopped D’Angelo “Muscle” Evans in the fifth round at Butterfly Brawl 3 on August 22, 2026. Evans entered with a 15-1 record and 14 knockouts, while Garcia improved to 8-6-3 with four stoppages.

The decisive sequence came with 1:47 remaining in the fifth. Garcia connected with a hard left hook that shook Evans, then followed him as he moved straight backwards. A series of further punches sent Evans down, and he could not beat the count.

Evans had been the event’s main attraction after a knockout over Cesar Villarraga went viral in May. With 2:05 left in the second round of that bout, Evans landed a powerful left hook that ended the contest immediately. His facial resemblance to a young Mike Tyson and his knockout record led some casual fans to compare the two fighters, while fabricated online videos even claimed Evans was Tyson’s son.

That attention made another spectacular finish the expectation around the Santa Monica Pier bout. Instead, Garcia became the fighter who ended Evans’ momentum. The Puebla, Puebla, Mexico native had entered the contest after two consecutive defeats, including a unanimous-decision loss to undefeated Top Rank prospect Deric “Scooter” Davis in April 2026.

Garcia responded to that setback by winning two straight fights, with Evans becoming the latest prospect to face him. His victory now gives him a win over a fighter whose profile had risen sharply from one viral knockout, while also showing the danger he presents to developing contenders.

Evans still has offensive ability, but the loss exposed defensive problems when he was hurt. His retreat against Garcia left him unable to recover, and he will need to improve his work while moving backwards and his ability to avoid sustained attacks as he rebuilds.
