    I see Benn coming out with a different approach to his usual aggressive lunging style but by round 3 or 4 he'll slip back into it and Garcia will hit him with good solid hard counters and take Benn out in rounds 6 to 9. I honestly dont see how Benn wins this.

    Garcia still has a wicked hook but it doesn't have the same affect at 147. They are hard but lack that KO power affect like it did at 135 and maybe 140. Cause he landed that hook all night on Barrios and he was still there for all 12 rnds.

    I think it will be a close fight with Garcia winning. Unless Benn lands on Garcia and Garcia becomes gun shy like he did with Romero.

    Will be competitive. I don't like Tik Tok Garcia much but i hope he completely outboxes the rat that is eggy Benn.

    I'm not sold on Ryan. I think Benn can beat him.

    Truthfully I really have not watched much of Benn. I don't really know where or how to rate him.

    Garcia is very talented and his physical abilities have never really been a problem

    His attitude and focus has been his problem so far

    That said, he seems really to have matured and appears to take his training seriously.

    I think he should have enough to beat Benn, I figure its competitive and not a total wash

    Benn makes Ryan quit mentally. Benn is 10x mentally stronger than Cryan who is a very weak boxer mentally. Everyone saying he will hurt Benn who has a very strong chin. Not going to happen. Ryan only knocks people with weak chins. Benn is going to pressure and chase him like a mfer till Ryan mentally collpases by round 8.
    95% of the people here dont kniow much about Benn but the Benn dynasty have ALWAYS beaten the American favourites. Same thing going to happen. It might even be a short fight lol

    Thats what Benns going to do. Rough up and bully him. Ryan has never faced a pressure fighter like Benn. Everyone talks about Ryans power put despite knocking down weak chinned Haney numerous times he could not put him away. Benn has an iron clad chin.

    Ryan will quit mentally by 7th round when Benn is still swamrming him non-stop. No breaks for Ryan lol

    I'd give him very little chance if he came in at his optimal weight, which he isn't, he's drained, so you can do the maths on that.

    I honestly still can't decide on this. Garcia isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is but Benn is also looking emaciated with the weight cuts which could very well end badly for him.

    Really depends on which version of either fighter shows up. Benn draining weight could be a factor, especially if the fight goes into later rounds. The version of Ryan who beat Haney beats Conor, the version of Ryan who lost to Rolly can very well lose to Benn. If I had to bet on the fight I'd favor Ryan.

    Benn was getting regularly touched up by an old, smaller injured Prograis and didn't have the power to get him out of there either. Embarrassing performance tbh. He's never had power like Hearn makes out and he won't even have the speed advantage here.

    If Ryan is anywhere near decent shape (physically and mentally) then I expect him to go through Benn within 6.

    Benn nearly 180 lbs after weigh in. Is Ryan in trouble and can Benn actually pull it off??

    I don't think he has a shot Rolly is underated he can actually follow a plan Benn gose out ther to bang and that's the type of fighter Ryan dose well against
