Garcia Shatters Benn in Las Vegas Title Defense
Ryan Garcia secured his first successful WBC welterweight title defense by TKOing Conor Benn in the second round at T-Mobile Arena, a result that has ignited fierce debate across the boxing world. While Benn disputed the referee's intervention, Garcia's dominance was further highlighted by Jai Opetaia's nine-round knockout of Noel Mikaelian on the same card.
Boxing News 24 reports that Garcia trapped Benn against the ropes after landing a second-round overhand right, leading referee Thomas Taylor to halt the contest at 1:25. The outlet notes that Benn protested the stoppage despite being visibly hurt and unable to offer a meaningful response to Garcia's pressure.
