On paper this is a mismatch , Garcia has a strong amateur background Vs a guy who started boxing late I think 16 or 18 not too sure but Garcia should handle even a game Ben with ease. Let's be totally honest Ben only got this far because of his surname not boxing merits. If Garcia is dalied in , which looks like he is .. he looks fast and sharp on the pads , his handspeed is up there with the fastest in boxing right now .. Ben won't even see some of these coming , Garcia has the chance to really embarrass Ben here. Also Ben coming down to 147 he won't be even at his own best , can't wait for this fight lol
Standing by my guns if you read the thread – Conor's totally out of his depth and will either be taken out as and when Garcia wants to, or he takes a beating along the way, plus the weight cut will leave him totally diminished. I think he takes Garcia out, or just outworks him, provided he made the weight okay, which [Sims] seems to imply he has. Garcia, for his assets and elite-level skills and speed, has world-class issues too, especially outside the ring, and leaves his chin there to be pinged, as Rolly, Davis, and Luke Campbell highlighted. Thus, cue Garcia KO inside three rounds, similar to Haye, Audley.
Just hope Garcia’s heads in it. I’m not reading too much into his most recent win over Barrios. He was coming off a draw with a 47 year old Pacquiao who hadn’t fought in 6 years and a loss to Ramos. Before that Garcia looked poor against Rolly. I’d like to think Garcia wins but I can just see a horrible situation where he turns up not bothered and basically hands Benn a win.
