'Easiest money ever': Ryan Garcia's brutal destruction of Conor Benn sends fight world into a frenzy
Ryan Garcia left no doubt. After a heated build-up between two of boxing’s biggest names, the reigning WBC welterweight champion delivered a devastating performance Saturday night inside of Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, needing less than two rounds to dispatch Conor Benn and successfully defend his belt in a statement performance.
After controlling the opening round, Garcia ended matters in spectacular fashion early in the second, uncorking a massive right hand that sent Benn crumbling to the canvas. Benn managed to beat the 10-count, but Garcia immediately swarmed his wounded prey and unloaded against the ropes until the referee mercifully stepped in to stop the bout.
Afterward, Garcia (26-2, 21 KOs) called for WBA welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez to join him in the ring, teasing the possiblitiy of a massive unification clash next. Benn (25-2, 14 KOs), meanwhile, suffered the first stoppage loss of his pro career.
Unsurprisingly, as is often the case with anything Garcia does, Saturday’s result instantly set the boxing world ablaze, prompting a flood of fellow fighters to gush over Garcia’s spectacular performance on social media — and eliciting a healthy amount of revelry from Benn’s critics. Chief among those critics was Chris Eubank Jr., who couldn’t help but chime in with a roast of his longtime rival following their two-fight series in 2025.
