Ryan Garcia (26-2, 21 KOs) made quick work of Conor Benn at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas tonight with a second-round TKO in front of a raucous crowd in defense of his WBC welterweight title.
Promoted by Zuffa Boxing and streamed live via Paramount+, Garcia got off to a good start by landing his signature left hook in the opening round, knocking Benn off-balance in an action-packed three minutes.
Then in the second round, Garcia unloaded with a right cross that immediately floored Benn. Benn slowly got to his feet but moments later, Garcia had him on the ropes with a barrage of punches before the referee waived it off.
After the fight, Garcia challenged Teofimo Lopez who was on hand and tried rushing the ring to no avail.
