Zuffa Boxing: Ryan García Quesada vs. Conor Nigel Benn & Jai Tapu Opetaia vs. Noel Mikaelian RBR.

After seeing the highlight a bunch of times I thought Ryan's footwork was very good in setting up that right hand that he dropped him with he set his feet quickly as Benn rushed in. I also thought that Benn rushed in like a novice with his hands down and no jab which is a recipe for disaster against a quick power puncher like Garcia.

Benn is a novice with no jab.

 

I'd actually love to see this fight. Fantastic matchup. Exciting even. Dangerous fight for both, too. Shakur is used to being two steps ahead of everyone, but I think Ryan is too fast for that to be the case here. On the other hand, Ryan's speed helps cover up mistakes he makes, and Shakur is more able than anybody Ryan has fought to catch those mistakes and capitalize on them. Yeah, Shakur can't hit like Rolly, but he's going to land a lot more often.

Also -- Ryan was only 151/152 on fight night. Won't have to be a Haney situation where they argue about a few pounds. Can't see why Shakur would have an issue fighting at 147 knowing that Ryan barely dehydrates at all to make it; also can't see why Ryan couldn't just make 140 if need be.

Yes please.

Haha what a joke. Wins against benn and is somehow 8 spots above his recent loss Rolly Romero. How about a rematch then? No? Didn't think so...
Teofimo Lopez won't end well for garcia either, btw.

 

Lopez couldn't deal with Haney's jab and won't be able to deal with Garcia's hook, Lopez is too small and lacks the power to trouble Garcia.
