Ryan Garcia crushed Briton Conor Benn with a ruthless second-round stoppage to retain his WBC welterweight crown in a world **** le mismatch in Las Vegas.
The American dominated from the opening bell, repeatedly punishing Benn as the 29-year-old charged forward with a wild and increasingly desperate approach.
Benn was dropped by a flush right hook in round two but managed to beat the count. before Garcia continued the onslaught with Benn backed against the ropes until the referee stepped in.
"I knew he would bring the pressure, I felt the shots and though 'I'll let him have his way', but I knew his was reckless and you can't do that with me," Garcia told DAZN.
"147lb is my division. I'm here, you can trust me as a champion."

Chris Eubank Jr was quick to react to Conor Benn's loss to Ryan Garcia on Saturday, mocking his bitter rival after the emphatic defeat.
Benn was fighting for a world ***** le for the first time, challenging Garcia for the WBC welterweight belt, when he suffered a second-round loss in Las Vegas.
Benn, 29, started aggressively as expected, but he walked onto a huge right hook in the second frame, as Garcia, 28, dropped the Briton badly. Benn beat the referee's count but was quickly overwhelmed, leading the official to step in.

The result marked Benn's second-ever loss, and his first via stoppage; in April 2025, Eubank Jr outpointed Benn, who returned the favour in November.

Ryan Garcia left no doubt. After a heated build-up between two of boxing's biggest names, the reigning WBC welterweight champion delivered a devastating performance Saturday night inside of Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena, needing less than two rounds to dispatch Conor Benn and successfully defend his belt in a statement performance.
After controlling the opening round, Garcia ended matters in spectacular fashion early in the second, uncorking a massive right hand that sent Benn crumbling to the canvas. Benn managed to beat the 10-count, but Garcia immediately swarmed his wounded prey and unloaded against the ropes until the referee mercifully stepped in to stop the bout.
Afterward, Garcia (26-2, 21 KOs) called for WBA welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez to join him in the ring, teasing the possiblitiy of a massive unification clash next. Benn (25-2, 14 KOs), meanwhile, suffered the first stoppage loss of his pro career.
Unsurprisingly, as is often the case with anything Garcia does, Saturday's result instantly set the boxing world ablaze, prompting a flood of fellow fighters to gush over Garcia's spectacular performance on social media — and eliciting a healthy amount of revelry from Benn's critics. Chief among those critics was Chris Eubank Jr., who couldn't help but chime in with a roast of his longtime rival following their two-fight series in 2025.

Ryan Garcia made his point emphatically tonight, stopping Conor Benn in the second round of their highly-anticipated welterweight showdown in Las Vegas.
Garcia retained his WBC welterweight ******* le with the victory, making a successful first defense of the belt he won earlier this year.
Benn (25-2, 14 KO) and Garcia (26-2, 21 KO) both came out with a lot of tense energy in the opening round, and looked to do what they do best, as Garcia wanted to use his speed to snipe Benn while moving around, hoping to bait an aggressive Benn into walking onto a shot.
That happened in the second round, as Garcia dropped Benn with a laser right hand. It was clear that Benn's legs were pretty much gone, but he got up and tried to continue on. Garcia wasn't exactly sharpshooting, opting instead for a flurry of shots, and referee Thomas Taylor stepped in.
Zuffa commentator Max Kellerman and Andre Ward both argued that the stoppage was maybe a bit early, especially given Benn's well-regarded toughness.

In the before-the-bell undercard action supporting the Garcia vs. Benn fight card, Alexis Rocha and Vlad Panin led the way with solid victories.
Abel Gonzalez, and Sean Garcia also scored wins.
Fights took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in the traditional Mexican Independence Day card.
It was a disservice to boxing fans and the fighters to schedule the contest between former world champion Jose Ramirez of Avenal, California (29-4, 18 KOs) and top-ten-ranked contender Alexis Rocha of Santa Ana (27-2-1, 16 KOs) so early. The Golden Boy welterweight contest seems to have been buried by ongoing friction between promoters.
This aside, Ramirez and Rocha delivered solid action for ten rounds, with Rocha prevailing by a wide unanimous decision. Scores were 98-91, 98-91, and 97-92.

Ryan Garcia's emotion in the ring was palpable as he had the green WBC welterweight ******* le wrapped around his waist following a one-sided unanimous decision win over Mario Barrios in February.
But the victory tour is long over now. A far more stoic Garcia arrived in Las Vegas this week for his first ******* le defense against Conor Benn, a boisterous British contender and son of Hall of Famer Nigel Benn.
Benn was fighting at 160 pounds last November as he avenged his lone career loss in a rematch against Chris Eubank Jr., but sucked himself down to the welterweight division's 147-pound limit to vie for Garcia's ******* le.
"I don't think he's mentally stronger than me," said Garcia at the final press conference. "I think that he knows how to take an (expletive) whooping, if that's mentally strong? ... Me, I'm just going to be focused and taking advantage of his inexperience."

"Did it look hard? How did I look?," he asked. "We'll see tomorrow night how good I really feel."

ChrisWeidman is reportedly set for his commentary debut.

The former Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight ******* leholder looksset to make his commentary debut on Week 5 of Dana White's Contender Series Season 10.
Since he retired from mixed martial arts, Weidman has workedextensively as a desk ******* yst for UFC events.

Combat sports are a harsh place, especially for legends.
One of the most accomplished Muay Thai fighters and kickboxers of his generation, Sitthichai is a former Glory Kickboxing lightweight champion and Lumpinee welterweight champion, among many other accomplishments in striking sports. However, the last few years have been unkind to the 34-year-old Thai fighter as he lost four of his final five fights in ONE Championship, and has gone winless since leaving the promotion last year.
Perhaps the worst of those losses happened on Saturday when Sitthichai got brutally knocked out by Taimu Hisai at Knockout 68: Knockin' on the World in Yokohama, ****** an.
While Sitthichai has been stopped in a couple of his recent bouts, those losses came from body shots. This time, the 20-year-old Hisai, who stepped in on short notice and moved up a weight class to take the fight, slept the legend with a brutal uppercut that not only knocked him out cold but literally took him off his feet.
Check out the devastating highlight below.

Shavkat Rakhmonov hasn't competed since defeating Ian Machado Garry, essentially on one leg, after dealing with knee injuries for nearly two years.
Rakhmonov was slated to fight then-champ Belal Muhammad at UFC 310 in December 2024, but Muhammd withdrew due to injury. Rakhmonov, despite having a miniscus and ACL injury, remained on the card and faced Machado Garry in a No. 1 contender fight, winning a competitive decision.
In a rare interview, Rakhmonov discusses his injuries, and decision making, while also taking a shot at Khabib Nurmagomedov and current welterweight champ Islam Makhachev.
"Well that's my problem, I couldn't fight," Rakhmonov told Alf Global. "If I had fought, I could've become champion, but that's how it turned out. I was injured. What can I do? We are only human. We are bound to make plenty of mistakes. …
"I actually shouldn't even have fought Ian Garry at all. With injuries like that, I shouldn't have fought at all, I just took a risk. That's the Kazakh way. Kazakhs are very daring. They're not afraid. If it had been some other Dagestani fighter like Khabib or Islam Makhachev, they definitely would've refused."

A clash of former UFC champions on the RAF mats didn't last long.

Chimaev improves to 2-0 under the RAF banner, following a pinfall victory over Dillon Danis at RAF 10 in June. Woodley won his RAF debut against Joaquin Buckley at RAF 12 on Aug. 22, and now falls to .500 in the wrestling promotion.

Katie Taylor has taken her final week as a professional boxer in her stride.
Each media event has been ticked off with the kind of composure and poise she has displayed in the ring for over two decades.
Dublin blessed Taylor and opponent Flora Pili with some early autumn sun as they weighed in at Trinity College before Saturday's undisputed light-welterweight battle at a sold-out Croke Park.
Taylor has not missed weight once in her 26-fight career and she was not going to buck the trend as she was greeted by adoring fans - many whom have followed her career since she won Olympic gold in 2012.
The announcement of the weights - both coming in just under the 10st (63.5kg) limit - was almost immaterial.
