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

[suzanne5223]

I have seen both fighters' conditioning levels, and all I can say is we have a good match tomorrow, they are motivated and in top form, there’s no alibi for the loser. I expect an action-packed fight.

I'll pick Ryan to win the match. In boxing, speed and power are everything, and based on what I see, Ryan has the edge in these, but he needs to stop Connor because if the fight goes the distance, Connor will have the edge. He's been through a lot of championship rounds, and he always managed to finish strong.
My verdict: I'll pick Ryan to stop Connor if the fight goes the distance its Connor's game

Both Ryan, and Benn have 5'8 height but Ryan has some edge apart from the speed and the power you stated. Ryan's recent form Ryan is incredible due to how he won the recent title with a strong unanimous decision over Mario Barrios in February 2026, while Benn somehow struggled to defeat Chris Eubank Jr., but he still has a chance in this fight until the winner is decided.

And we've got a fight as both fighters made the scale. King Ry weighs in at 145.5 while Conor Benn comes at 146 lbs.
Conor Benn appeared drained, making the weight is one battle, but performing after such a grueling cut is another. We’ll see if this demanding process takes a toll on his performance once the fight begins.

The cut weight is gonna impacting Benn's performance. It's also sucking his power too.  He is also slow in hand and fighting when he's drained obviously make it far worsen to fight a guy who can fight comfortably at 146 lbs. I can't see he to win this game when his drain makes him a dogshit.

Honestly, i was expect Garcia to win by KO or TKO by round 6, but i decreased my expectation a bit and i decide to pick Garcia by decision.

What's your choice?

[bbc.reporter]

As a Brit I really should want Benn to win this but he’s just such an unlikeable character. I can’t help but want to see Ryan Garcia win this.

It should be a good fight though, really interested to see how Benn copes at this level.

Yes! Also, if you will be asking yourself the question what occurrence for this fight will make the sport of boxing great again? The answer for this is very clear and this is the victory for King Ry with a knockout! However, I have a prediction for this fight. In the beginning it will appear that the Conor Benn is winning but King Ry will give him a left hook on rounds 10-12 that will make Conor Benn sleep in the ring and carried out on a stretcher!

His eyes is revealing something, while Ryan looks fresh in the weigh-in, maybe not much of a cut for him as he could be waking around within this limit for weeks and so there's no change in the diet.

So let's see how it goes and in any case, others might want to look at this promotion,

Benn has already gained more than 30 pounds since the weigh-ins. On the night of the fight we are going to see a light heavyweight against a middleweight fighting for the welterweight title.

Some of that weight might be from his clothes, but it’s still an insane difference. You can’t regain muscle overnight. We will see how this extreme weight cut will impact his performance. One day somebody will seriously get hurt inside the ring because of this and it will have major repercussions for the sport.

That's fast? was it a healthy rehydration or it is just a water weight. And if you look at the comment's some of them are questioning specially if it is safe to gain that weight very quick as it might take a toll in his body on fight night.

But, it's game time already, no excuses, they already done their part of hyping this fight. So now, it's between the two of them. And when the bell rings, it could go down as who wanted it more and has the heart specially if the fight goes to the distance.

Though Conor Benn has regaining mass as of now but i would still stick to my speculation that this fight would end by knockout on the second half of the fight. Conor Benn has been talking to much of that weigh cut that in my mind it may affect his power and endurance while King Ry wasn't much affected by his own weight cut as he looked fresher than Benn in the weigh-in.

Good luck to us, mate—let’s hope this fight truly lives up to the hype.

What Connor did will negatively affect his endurance and power. This weight gain is very unusual; Ryan understands this, and he will have a strategy for Connor's unusual weight gain in just a short period of time.

I'll be looking at the early rounds of the fight because if there's a lot of action going on, Conor will likely suffer from burned stamina, and Ryan will take this opportunity to knock Behn out, probably in the second half. So yes, bro, I agree with your assessment; let's see how it will play out if our analysis is correct.

Conor Benn looked gaunt and weary; try as he might to hide it, it was clearly visible. Then again, Ryan Garcia looked the same way. The weight-cutting process is grueling, and many boxers struggle to regain their peak performance afterward. Benn seemed even more drained; if his movements slow down during the fight, he will become an easy target for Garcia. I think Garcia will secure a knockout, likely in the later rounds.

Lmao good luck with that.

Like Conor is just gonna stand there and let Ryan hit him with a left hook and besides the left hook, which other weapon does Ryan have in his arsenal?

How are you even sure that they’ll go the distance? What if Ryan gets slept before then?

Talking about Ryan KO’ing Conor with a left hook like he’s Devin Haney or something lol.

All he’s gonna do in that fight is rely on some weak ass left hook that might not even land and even if it does, I’m pretty sure that Conor can take a punch, but I’m not so sure about Ryan though.

[OgNasty]

Garcia caught him with a shot! Strong win for him. Bẹnn folded after catching that right.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Conor Benn made every mistake imaginable and paid for it by getting TKO’d in the second round. Being the product of nepotism has worked incredibly well for Benn’s finances, but it takes more than familial connections to succeed at the highest level.

Now that Ryan took care of this hype job it’s time to move on to more serious opponents. Teofimo is the next step up in the ladder and I expect this fight to be next.

The ref did the right thing stopping the fight; Connor was defenseless, and only the ropes kept him from going down. We are right that the weight-loss cut is the culprit; Connor was breathing hard going through the second round, and Ryan just needs to push the action and hit him with the right timing.

This is a big lesson for many boxers: don't force yourself to the limit of cutting weight, because on fight night it will have a bad effect, and we clearly see that in this match.

Garcia did a good job keeping the distance, but anyone else thought the stoppage went too early?
I mean, from my point of view, looks like Benn was still actively moving/dodging. I think he's still capable of recovering if he was able to find his way out from that corner. There were still plenty of time left in that round, the ref could have still used that time and decide to stop the fight when he's clearly can't defend himself anymore.

Well, that went easy for King Ry. Guess my analysis was wrong, lol.

Connor is dodging but getting hit, and the punches connect where it hurts most: the side of the head. The referee did the right thing; his job is the welfare and the health of the fighter.

I think he's still capable of recovering if he was able to find his way out from that corner.

I don't think he can; he can't see where the punches were coming from. He just kept moving his head, but the punches were landing.

There were still plenty of time left in that round, the ref could have still used that time and decide to stop the fight when he's clearly can't defend himself anymore.

It's obvious he can't fight anymore because he's not throwing punches; he's just waiting for what's to come. If a fighter cannot show offense, the referee will have second thoughts about whether you are still in the match.

[Questat]

We thought we were going to see an exciting fight here, but it turned out the fight ended very early and Ryan remains the king.

Conor was all talk and just couldn't take Ryan's power. Now he got a reality check on how far the gap is between them. Hope he's alright though, he really lost that fight badly. Months of preparation ended in just 2 rounds, that's really bad.

At least the fight was not boring, and I like that Conor was quite aggressive. He really believed he could beat Ryan, but in the fight we saw who the bigger and stronger guy was. Since Ryan was the heavy favorite, it's not really surprising that he won. I think some were just disappointed because we expected the fight to reach the judges' scorecards and see more exchanges of punches.

Anyway, Ryan won and deserved it, congratulations to him.

It's how they sell the fight, but the only thing we have to consider is how they fight in the ring.

The cutting of the weight might have a big impact on his performance. Yes, he might have rehydrated, but that is not a healthy way just saying. So we give Ryan his props, he came on swinging for the first round.

And this time, it's his right hand not his vaunted left hook that put Conor in the canvass. I thought that Conor will not get up from that big right. But he still tries to make it but it's obvious that he doesn't have the legs anymore.

Man that fight didn’t go as i thought it would, it was so confusing and annoying at the same time cos i expected the fight to go a bit longer than it did but it didn’t even last five minutes; can’t believe i traded my sleep to watch that smh!

Benn was doing great in the first round cos he was the one putting in more pressure between the two of em you know bobbing and landing good punches until that right hook from Ryan which in my opinion was a lucky shot(not trying to make excuses, just saying it how i see it) and i expected Conor to be able to recover from it but it turned out that he couldn’t which is kinda disappointing cos i thought Benn to be a tough guy.

It’s crazy you know, Conor has eaten similar shots in past fights and has been able to recover quickly from it, I wonder why this one was an exception; he literally just stood there taking shots without moving out of the way or answering back and that was why the ref stopped the fight which in my opinion was a good call.

But i get it though, that right hook landed unexpectedly and that’s the thing about getting hit from angles you don’t expect to get hit from, it can scatter your equilibrium.

Congrats to Ryan though, but he should get to comfy yet, adversities still wait for him ahead.
