Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn form and history

It feels strange to suggest that this is the fight both men have spent much of the past year-and-a-half working towards when taken at face value.

But ever since blowing his shot against Rolly Romero last year, Garcia has long needed to earn his stripes - something he did back in February.

Likewise, Benn's gripping duology with Chris Eubank Jr. did more than just settle a blood feud - it opened his own path towards glory once more.

Even with a move to middleweight, the Briton had made little secret that he saw himself as a top operator at welterweight with plans to return too.

But when the WBC installed him as the leading challenger for the winner of Barrios-Garcia, there were many who felt he had jumped the queue.

Now, Benn will have the chance to prove he is worth the faith - but the champion will be just as keen to dismiss him as another pretender to boot.

Garcia vs. Benn prediction

DAZN News Boxing Writer Mark Lelinwalla 

Conor Benn has the steely determination to impose his will on Ryan Garcia, but we will find out awfully quick how much of a toll that weight cut put on ‘The Destroyer’s’ body.

I’m looking for Garcia’s hand speed to immediately set a disparity between he and Benn toward the latter digging his way into the fight with his pressure boxing.

I envision ‘King Ry’ eventually getting to Benn with that vaunted left hook toward a mid to late-round TKO and statement of a WBC welterweight title defense in a fiery affair. Perhaps it will deliver us Garcia vs. Teofimo Lopez next in a huge unification bout.
