Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn fight recap

Ryan Garcia (26-2, 21 KOs, 1 NC) needed just two rounds to get the technical knockout win against Conor Benn (25-2, 14 KOs).

The official time of stoppage was 1:25. Garcia remains the WBC welterweight world champion with the victory. He won the title earlier this year against Mario Barrios. This was Garcia’s first defence.

Benn aggressively pursued his opponent around the ring in the opening round. He did not have much success with this approach, however, as Garcia was able to land quick hooks with him coming in. What occurred in round one was a sign of things to come.


Benn continued with his aggressive approach and it ultimately proved to be his downfall. He got caught with a right hook upstairs coming in and went to the canvas in round two. Although he got up, Benn soon found himself on the ropes getting hit with a barrage of shots to the head. Referee Thomas Taylor jumped in to put an end to proceedings after witnessing the onslaught.
