After his utter destruction by Garcia, questions have to be raised about his punch resistance. Only the ref's outrageously premature stoppage saved Benn from taking the inevitable canvas nap!
Garcia is a huge puncher and Benn just came rushing in, it's not his chin that let him down it's his defense, he simply has never been in with a puncher with kind of hand speed Garcia has, he should not have been in the same ring as a fighter on Garcia's level, he got fraud checked.
We will see if he continues his career. My guess is that he will be ultimately shown to have a glass jaw. For now, however, he should be put in the "suspect mandible " category
I think he is a bit chinny, obviously the weight cut won’t have helped but Eubank hurt him a couple of times and he isn’t the most powerful
Chin and Defense are two distinctly different things. Do you think Tex Cobb, George Chuvalo, Oliver McCall, etc had any semblance of defense whatsoever? How do people not understand this?
They all had great chins, anyone with an average chin gets sparked by Garcia if they have a poor defense.
Different class of skills. This will always be the result when you have a skilled power puncher against an unskilled slugger who rushes in head first.
You can have the best defense on planet earth but you will still get hit on the Chin occasionally and if you don’t have a Chin you will be knocked out. What would you rather have? No Chin and incredible defense or no defense and an Iron Chin? I know which one I would prefer and we just saw a great example of this a few weekends ago where the Iron Chinned Warrior outlasted the supposedly next big thing that in reality had no stamina and a questionable Chin himself.
Who cares? The guy has no talent and got slapped around, Garcia couldn't miss, Benn is green and not very talented, he is no Hrg neither chin nor talent wise.
