A former world champion believes Ryan Garcia will knock out Conor Benn inside six rounds, underlining a glaring difference between them in skill and power. ‘King Ry’ claimed his welterweight strap in February, dethroning Mario Barrios with a unanimous decision after scoring a first-round knockdown. But while it has been far from plain sailing for Garcia, the talented American is nonetheless considered a sizable favourite against mandatory challenger Benn. Despite being the WBC’s leading contender at 147lbs, ‘The Destroyer’ has not fought at the weight in over four years and, generally speaking, has done very little to justify his world title shot. While attempting to make 147lbs, Benn has revealed that his future fights will be at higher weights.
