The Weight of Expectation: Conor Benn's Wager Against Ryan Garcia Conor Benn has defied expectations by making weight for his highly anticipated bout against Ryan Garcia, coming in at 10st 6lb (66kg) just half a pound heavier than his opponent.
This decision to take on Garcia at welterweight is not without its risks, as Benn's aggressive fighting style may leave him vulnerable to Garcia's speed and counter punching abilities if he becomes too drained from the weight cut.
Benn relies heavily on aggression and explosiveness in his fights, whereas Garcia is known for his quickness and powerful left hook.
