Can Ryan Garcia’s chin hold up against Conor Benn’s power at welterweight? Benn hits harder than Barrios.
Garcia should be victorious in this fight coming up.
But that is not guaranteed, Conor Benn of the UK is motivated more than ever, coming off a lack luster US debut victory on points vs Regis Prograis earlier this year.
Some things still need to be proven on the US boxer Ryan Garcia chin also.
More to digest and factor in ahead of this bout soon:
- Garcia’s punch resistance at 147 lbs remains unproven
- Benn is a harder puncher than Mario Barrios
- Garcia’s five-round KO prediction feels overly ambitious
- Benn has never been stopped and took Eubank Jr.’s best shots
- Critics call Garcia a “blown-up lightweight” moving up too far
- Benn’s shorter, pressure style poses a tougher matchup than Barrios
- Garcia has historically struggled against strong, aggressive punchers
- Body-punching pressure fighters like Tank Davis have exposed his durability
- Benn brings more physicality and grit than Garcia has faced recently
- This is viewed as a true 50/50 clash of speed vs. power
Tank Davis knocked out boxer Ryan Garcia some years ago but he had been a much smaller fighter then than Conor Benn.
Benn of the UK not long ago had been fighting at 160 pounds even, defeating Chris Eubank Jr in a huge stadium fight in the UK.
If Benn can test that Ryan Garcia chin early, it might get a bit tough for the California man.
Benn needs to hit him big early on though, to get his attention.
Right from round one.
