Ryan Garcia-Conor Benn: The plot was revealed in 13 seconds

‘King Ry’s’ speed, timing and movement exposed the gulf between him and Conor Benn in a fight that was effectively decided almost immediately

It was after 13 seconds when you could tell Conor Benn was bang up against it against Ryan Garcia.

Benn dipped to his right and Garcia cracked him with a left hook that might not have changed the narrative of their encounter, but it revealed the plot.

Twenty-one seconds after the first bell, the same shot landed and it became glaringly obvious what the final scene would look like.

Benn was made to look cumbersome, having to over-reach with his right hand, and while he attempted to bomb forwards, as is his custom, he was raked by faster shots and couldn’t match Garcia’s quick feet.
