[Boxing] Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn - WBC Welterweight Title - Sept.12

[coinrifft]

But I do agree that he is a warrior, it runs in his blood as his father has accomplished so much in boxing during his time. And he might have inherited his father mindset to go all-in in every fight. However, he is facing a big puncher in Ryan Garcia that's why I said that Ryan could be the bigger, not just in terms of the weight, but the power.

That’s probably what most people think, and you can already see it in the betting odds. The market clearly believes Ryan is going to win.

But of course, an upset is still possible. This is where I start to doubt the crowd a little, especially when almost everyone is backing the same fighter.

Ryan is not undefeated and we already saw some lapses from him in the past. Because of that, Benn on the moneyline looks quite interesting to me.

It’s still risky, but at the right odds, I might take a small chance on the upset.

Yes, upset is almost possible, but it's on Ryan's side if he will not train hard here as he lost to Romero already. He won his last fight against Barrios so he did learn from that mistakes already.

But if he is looking for a bigger paycheck like a rematch with Haney or even Tank Davis, then he should be putting in his mind that he should not let Benn derail his plans for his future fight and should train hard for this. In any case, Benn as a underdog is a great bet.

Conor Benn's performance in his previous fight with Prograis was a bit underwhelming for me, too. While he could possibly pressure Garcia in this match, if he misses a step and gets hit with that left hook, it would be bad for him. Plus, Garcia's on a whole other level when it comes to his speed. I'm sure the first few rounds of this fight would be intense, to say the least. My money is on King Ry on this one.

Your boy Ryan is gonna get knocked TF out😂.
He doesn’t have much on his skill set, he’s got no defense, no leg work. Only relying on some weak ass left hook lmao.

Tell me, what he’s gonna do against an explosive Conor Benn?
We all saw how he fared against Rolly Romero who was also an explosive fighter.
So just tell me how he intends on hurting Conor?

Conor got better footwork than Ryan, he’s got better defense, he’s more explosive with combinations than Ryan and to top it off, he’s an aggressive pressure fighter with heavy hands.

Ryan is cooked!!
He can’t match that level of aggression and intensity.

Conor Benn for the win for me.
I mean, it’s right there. No need to contemplate too much, we all know who’s gonna win unless the fight has been fixed or gets rigged.

Of course man, you'll go with the boxer you think will win.

Ryan Garcia is the favorite based on the betting lines, but I’m not betting on him blindly just because of that. I just think Ryan has the better chance here. Still, we can’t underestimate his opponent. Anything can happen in boxing, and one good punch can change the whole fight.

Let’s just see what happens after the fight. Maybe Ryan gets the knockout, or maybe the opposite happens. But me here " rooting for Ryan ( the man).

This is the kind of fight where you really have to back your fighter, mate. Otherwise, you’re just there watching like a spectator.

If you believe your guy can beat Conor Benn , then show that confidence. A true fan will always find a reason why his fighter can win, even if most people are picking Ryan.

That’s what makes the discussion more interesting. You’re confident in your fighter, while others believe Garcia will beat him. Let’s see whose prediction is right.

The betting line doesn't guarantee a boxer to win. Especially, after i saw how Ryan is much more focused in dancing on the Karaoke room instead of focusing on training as a preparation against Conor Benn. Ryan doesn't seem to take this game seriously after all.
However, we can count in Ryan's experience because he has more than what Benn has.

I may bet on Ryan, but can change my mind if he's still doing dancing and singing instead of putting himself in a intensive training before his fight against Benn.
Benn was a puncher and Ryan has to be even careful with it.

And that's what this fight is very interesting, although it looks like Ryan is a big favorite here, there are fans that think Conor can pull a upset. Someone laid it down, and I do agree with his assessment. However, there are fights that even if we analyzed it, still it might not favor us as there could be some intangibles, like the heart and motivation of the fighter or even if there is a accidental head clash.

So let's see how it goes, everyone has their favorite boy in this fight and they can back up the talk by putting a bet on them.

I'm no expert, but let me share the odds for now:

And base on that, if we look at ML,

Ryan - 1.22
Benn - 4.33

For the fight to last a full 12 rounds

Ryan - 2.87
Benn - 10.00

So obviously, Benn is the underdog here, ML bet for Garcia might not be appealing to some bettors. But if we look at the fight going to distance and then Garcia winning, the odds is more attractive. But that is the risk, we don't know if the fight will go to distance although Benn has a good chin, but we don't know if it can withstood the left hook of Ryan which has so much power specially at this weight class.

Same here, not an expert when it comes to the betting odds but i'll go for the odds which is attractive and the probable of winning is high. The ML odds Ryan Garcia is not appealing to me since i'm not a whale and it is not worth to bet. Yup, Ryan has a lethal left hook which could end the fight abruptly but i also think that Conor Benn will do his best to avoid those punches, though not an easy task but definitely he could avoid that one. For now, i will stick to my gut that Ryan Garcia will win by decision.

In King Ry's training, I reckon that there might be a chance that we might witness another disappointing preparation from his trainer, the father Henry. Conor Benn to win with a decision might be a very good risk for this fight hehehehe!

However yes, I wishfully hope that we will witness a victory for King Ry with a knockout and uncle Dana will begin negotiations for the rematch against the crying Haney! I also speculate that the scammer Tank might also by increasing presently weight to get a chance to fight King Ry heheheheh.

[Oasisman]

My fearless forecast is that Conor Benn would last the full 12 rounds.

It looks like you are an expert, and I believe in your analysis. Because of that, I think I will follow your pick since the moneyline odds are not really worth taking because they are too low. Have you already seen the odds for Ryan to win by decision? Would you mind sharing them? My guess is that the odds could be above 3.00, or at least around 3.00. That would be much more tempting than taking the moneyline on a heavy favorite.

I'm no expert, but let me share the odds for now:

And base on that, if we look at ML,

So obviously, Benn is the underdog here, ML bet for Garcia might not be appealing to some bettors. But if we look at the fight going to distance and then Garcia winning, the odds is more attractive. But that is the risk, we don't know if the fight will go to distance although Benn has a good chin, but we don't know if it can withstood the left hook of Ryan which has so much power specially at this weight class.

Even though the odds heavily favour Ryan, but the round betting chart shows some respect for Benn's toughness, withstanding the whole 12 rounds against Ryan's speed and power.
ML is not worth the risk. While the chances for the fight to last 12 rounds are quite a bit risky too, since we all know Ryan has the edge in almost all skillset categories, and so he can actually end this fight early.
I think a round 8-10 stoppage is quite attractive. This is considering Ryan's historical stoppage wins against durable opponents, and, of course, his current conditioning before the fight.

To be fair with Ryan though, even if he doesn't have that movement and only has the left hook in his arsenal, he still win fights and wanted to challenge everyone. That left hook has put a lot of boxers in the canvass.

Tell me, what he’s gonna do against an explosive Conor Benn?
We all saw how he fared against Rolly Romero who was also an explosive fighter.
So just tell me how he intends on hurting Conor?

I wouldn't call Romero as a explosive fighter in my opinion. In any case, he and Ryan has the same style and relying to their power to win.

Conor got better footwork than Ryan, he’s got better defense, he’s more explosive with combinations than Ryan and to top it off, he’s an aggressive pressure fighter with heavy hands.

Ryan is cooked!!
He can’t match that level of aggression and intensity.

Conor Benn for the win for me.
I mean, it’s right there. No need to contemplate too much, we all know who’s gonna win unless the fight has been fixed or gets rigged.

Even if you have a better footwork, it's not that big factor. You can't go around the whole 12 rounds, sooner or later you will be hit by someone. And in this case if Ryan landed that left hook early, Benn's complexion could be different and he will be in the surviving mode for the whole fight and cant' execute his game play. Similar to what happen to Haney.

Conor Benn may have good footwork, but I don’t think that alone is enough to say he can beat Ryan Garcia.

We can compare him to Haney. Haney has even better footwork, but Ryan still managed to beat him because of his speed and punching power.

Of course, the issue from that fight is still there because Ryan tested positive for a banned substance. But my point is, good footwork doesn’t automatically mean Ryan can’t catch you. Once he lands clean, the fight can change quickly.

Personally, I still lean toward the power puncher in this matchup.

First off: this is just my personal opinion-don’t take it as a betting prediction. I’m simply assessing this based on my own perspective!
The most likely outcome is  a Ryan Garcia victory by knockout (KO/TKO) before the end of the fight, likely around the 6th to 9th round.
 
Reason: Despite the British fighter’s very aggressive style, Garcia has a massive advantage in hand speed. Benn, for all his aggression, leaves himself too open when attacking, making him a perfect target for Ryan’s signature left hook.
Ryan Garcia has some of the "fastest hands" in modern boxing; he is naturally athletic, tall, and has "long reach", which will neutralize Conor Benn’s pressure and aggression.

I wouldn't say that it's the fastest that we have seen, specially when he did move up in weight, that speed diminishes but the power multiplied. So I guess that is part and parcel of moving up, you carry your power, but you might have slow down a bit.

And yes, we've seen that left hook, and we think that that is Ryan's only weapon. But I do see that he has power in both hands and have a good to a decent jab. His footwork might really be his biggest weaknesses as he goes and plodding and don't know how to move his head. But overall, it might be good enough to cancel out Conor Benn's agressiveness and win by knockout or by decision.

You have a point that Conor Benn got better footwork than Ryan but that is not all that we are looking up on this fight. Conor Benn was fighting above 147-lbs, in fact in his last fight against Regis Prograis they met on a catchweight of 150-lbs which means that Conor Benn might be having trouble going down to 147-lbs and this might affect his performance come fight night.

But i see you are a fan of Conor Benn so this means that you will win big if ever your prediction might come true as the odds shows that Conor Benn is @3.xx underdog.

Yes, this is what everyone is speculating including if we ask AI who will be the winner for this fight heheheh. However, this is my own argument against King Ry, the father Henry as his trainer. How can King Ry make an assurance that what has occurred in his fight against Rolly Romero will not happen anymore?

Similar to everyone, we want King Ry to win with a knockout, however, would it be very shocking if Conor Benn will win with a split decision?

[FinneysTrueVision]

I wouldn't call Romero as a explosive fighter in my opinion. In any case, he and Ryan has the same style and relying to their power to win.

I guess you can call their power explosive. Style-wise Garcia vs. Rolly barely had any action. Ryan is also heavy handed so I don’t see Conor Benn having an advantage there. In fact, Ryan has the better KO ratio. I only question Ryan’s mental state and his discipline. If he was more focused on boxing than on being an influencer he might have accomplished more in the sport.

Benn has mostly looked lackluster since coming back from his own suspension for doping violation. Calling him an explosive fighter is being generous. He is a guy with a big mouth, that’s why he gets big fights.

Like you, I also see Ryan Garcia winning in this fight, but not with TKO though, but in a unanimous decision. Garcia's signature left hook can be his problem as well, and we saw that against Davis where Garcia got knocked out as soon as he threw that punch because Davis just ducked in it then countered him.

The problem with Garcia's left hook is that, yes he can throw it, but he'll be defenseless while doing that, and that could be a problem if Benn can exploit and counter it. Speaking of Benn, I don't see him winning in this fight especially after that performance against a "washed out" Regis Prograis. I mean Prograis is being considered a washed fighter already by many, and Benn didn't dominate that fight at all. Also, his aggression might lead to his downfall as well, and those fast hands by Garcia might be the reason why he'll lose.

TBH, I see this fight as the same as with the Boots-Zayas fight. Many are looking at both fighters kind of equal, but when they fought, we saw one fighter just way ahead of the other. I see it that way. Garcia's way ahead of Benn in terms of experience, and he fought way better fighters as well compared to Benn.

So let's see how it goes, everyone has their favorite boy in this fight and they can back up the talk by putting a bet on them.

Based on the odds I’m seeing, Ryan Garcia is around -350 to -425. That means the bookies are giving him roughly 80% chance of winning, so yeah, he is clearly the heavy favorite here. But that doesn’t mean the other side has no chance. Ryan has already shown some weaknesses in his past fights, and we also saw that being the favorite doesn’t always guarantee anything.

For me this is still an interesting fight. Most people are expecting Garcia to win, but maybe this is also the kind of match where an upset can happen, especially if his opponent can survive the early rounds and make him work.

It's hard to guess how accurate the odds to determine the result when Ryan is not even taking this game seriously. When Benn is always practicing to improve his kill and put more preparation against him, but he's doing dancing and singing all the way.

So this reminds me with his fight vs Haney, though he won that, but he may not able to repeat the same result when he fight Benn soon.

Especially, he never fought aggressor power puncher before. So Benn may shock him during the game.

I still have hope for him to win as long as he's starting to take this game seriously instead of keep dancing and singing like nothing will happen.

With 25 wins, I dont think none of those opponents were aggressive power punchers. But since Ryan still managed to beat most of them, then I guess he is legit. Of course I understand why some fans are backing Conor Benn, nothing wrong with that. But his record doesn't really show that he is a big power puncher.

He has 14 KOs from 25 wins, so for me that's not enough to say he can just stop Ryan easily.
