Ryan Garcia Gives Himself Five Rounds To Stop Benn

Ryan Garcia has predicted he will stop Conor Benn within five rounds when he defends his WBC welterweight title on September 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Garcia acknowledged the challenge, noting he has recorded only one knockout in the past four years and that Benn has never been stopped as a professional, with his sole career defeat coming by decision against Chris Eubank Jr. in April 2025. Despite the risk of the bold prediction, Garcia stated he is training specifically to achieve a knockout inside five rounds.
