## Resource

Ryan Garcia credits the referee for making the right call to stop his fight against Conor Benn after a devastating second-round knockdown — a moment Garcia believes could’ve led to Benn’s knockout if the bout continued. Benn, struggling with speed and power from Garcia’s blistering offense, couldn’t recover despite his aggressive approach. This marked Benn’s first career knockout loss and came amid his ongoing weight-cutting woes. Garcia, defending his WBC welterweight title he claimed from Mario Barrios earlier this year, delivered a statement victory that cements his dominance in the division. With just 45 seconds left in round two, the ref prioritized fighter safety — a decision Garcia fully supports. Now, both fighters look ahead: Garcia poised for his next big challenge, Benn rebuilding after a shocking defeat.
