This is the greatest risk Benn takes by cutting weight down to 147: If he cuts so low that he is drained/weak, that alone will win or lose the fight, no matter how good he is. Plus Garcia has a lot of reach and hand speed that is typically a nightmare for the pressure fighter, like Benn. In my opinion, Benn is in a whole lot of trouble here, that's for sure — Garcia gets this one.
I think this is a perfect weight for Benn, he is not a huge boxer to begin with. He did lost to a bigger guy in his first fight against Eubank at 156 lbs and then won at a catch weight in their rematch. But if you look at his records he is a natural 147 lbs boxer to start with.
So I don't think that weight will be the problem here. It will be his punch resistance and how his chin will hold up against Ryan's left hook. Or if he himself could land some good combo on Ryan to score points in the judges scorecard.
Ben is natural 147 pounder, so fighting on that weight range can provably help him to be in good condition compare when he force to go up against Eubank.
But I think weight is the issue, but rather if he's chin can absorb the left hook of Garcia. If he can penetrate with clean combination, maybe he has good chance to win many rounds. If it happens that Ryan would dominate which we all know he can, maybe the momentum will go to Ryan side and that's really bad for him.
Even though he's underdog, I want to see if he can hurt Garcia in this match.
