Ryan Garcia demolishes Conor Benn in two rounds to retain welterweight world title
Gulf in class: Conor Benn proved no match for Ryan Garcia in their world title fight in Las Vegas Getty George Flood , Senior Sport Editor @ GeorgeFlood24 1 minute ago COMMENTS Conor Benn ’s first world title challenge ended in a comprehensive early stoppage defeat by Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas.
Benn was swiftly outclassed in Saturday night’s eagerly-anticipated main event at T-Mobile Arena, floored by a sharp right hand early in round two after a chaotic opener in which he was caught by a couple of trademark left hooks.
That knockdown was followed by a vicious and precise onslaught from Garcia, whose combination of mesmerising speed and power proved far too much for the challenger.
It was an emphatic first defence of the belt Garcia easily took from Mario Barrios in February, with a fight against Teofimo Lopez potentially now on the cards after the duo clashed in the ring afterwards.
