Can Conor Benn’s power crack Ryan Garcia’s chin?
Possibly. People are fast to underestimate the Benn punch, but not a smart thing to do, necessarily.
Some notes on this:
- Benn took Eubank Jr.’s best shots without going down
- Prograis says Benn hits hard but telegraphs his punches
- Garcia has been troubled by pressure fighters with power before
- Benn hasn’t scored a KO since April 2022
- Froch says Benn “hasn’t got no punching power” and picks Garcia inside three
- Malignaggi sees a “disparity in power” favoring Garcia
- Tank Davis stopped Garcia with a body shot – durability questions remain
- Weight cut from 160lbs+ to 147lbs could drain Benn’s power
- Garcia dropped Haney three times with his left hook
- Benn’s aggressive style could walk him right into Garcia’s check hook
If Benn does the cut in proper order, do not underestimate his punch or strength.
Ryan Garcia has been hurt before and badly, Gervonta Davis comes to mind.
