01:35corner!
01:36That's the winner!
01:40Yeah!
01:46And a closer in, here's a corner in the right time!
01:51Point down goal.
01:53You've got officially 140 corners in the right hand.
01:58Here's the production record, also outstanding.
02:0125 victories including, 20 knockout wins.
02:04Just two to beat, and one no contest.
02:08He is the reigning, defending, welterweight champion of the world,
02:14the pride of victory down to Ryan!
02:18Here it is, Ryan King-Roy Garcia!
02:33Corantonio Barrera, in the corner there with Ryan.
02:50Thomas Taylor, the referee in the unprecedented fight cabinet of the world, which is relit in Baking, Nevada.
02:59Viva Las Vegas!
03:01A crackling, intense, meaningful, spiteful world title collision on Mexican Independence Day weekend,
03:10as the American, with a Mexican heritage, Ryan Garcia, defends his green and gold, WBC welterweight belt,
03:19against a live wire from Britain, Conor Benn.
03:22And both, who've come through big controversy.
03:25Ups, downs, thrilling fights.
03:2850 wins between them.
03:31And they've lit the touch paper.
03:35All build up and down from Garcia.
03:37There's the speed.
03:38Check left hook early, and Ben walks into it.
03:42It was okay, they just knocked him off balance.
03:44You've got to stay low, Ben.
03:45You've got to put that right hand underneath the chain for that uppercut.
03:47But you've got to stay low.
03:48Coming in high means you've got to walk into that left hook every time.
03:52Really sharp, that left hook.
03:54And obviously we've talked a lot about the speed of Garcia this whole week,
03:58and the whole build up to the fight, but the timing as well.
04:01Very, very good.
04:02And he walks you onto it, doesn't he?
04:04It's a wonderful left hand that Ben will want to get up close and personal,
04:09and really try and rough up Garcia.
04:12He'll be weighing a huge amount on the night,
04:14but there's that left hand again that just shakes.
04:18Conor Ben, who's been down a couple of times in the first round,
04:21way back against Cedric Peno.
04:24Those are the only two times he's hit the canvas.
04:26Garcia's also occasionally vulnerable early,
04:29so a flash knockdown or two wouldn't be a surprise.
04:33They shook him up, but he recovered quick,
04:35and he did the right thing.
04:36He got his body close to Garcia.
04:40Garcia's nice and sharp here, happy to let Ben come at him,
04:44walk him onto the shots.
04:47Ben looking for that jab early, but it is that edge in speed, isn't it,
04:53that Garcia possesses.
04:55Tony's saying that he's probably the quickest hands in boxing,
04:59rather reminiscent of an Amir Khan,
05:01and how can Conor Ben deal with that?
05:05I'll tell you one thing he's got to do, and I'm sure the team have been talking about this,
05:09and the whole build-up, he's got to keep that right hand glued to his chin.
05:16And I think underneath it, he stays low, he stays away,
05:19and sort of like can block that uppercut coming in.
05:22Yeah, just like that, they roll onto that one there.
05:24There's a right hand though, this time, and another one for Garcia, an uppercut.
05:29Good body shot there for Ben.
05:30Yeah, Ben's swinging as well, and he gets in with different angles, Conor Ben, and he's a rough house.
05:38I don't think Garcia liked that body shot, you know?
05:40No, not at all.
05:42Well, we remember Tank Davis undoing him with a body shot.
05:46And Ben's going to make it chaotic.
05:50The other guy's a technical better boxer, he wants space to walk onto the shots,
05:54so make it chaotic, get ripped.
05:56He's doing the right thing here, making it rough.
06:00It's not pretty, nothing pretty.
06:01It's exactly what Tony Sims told us he was going to do.
06:05Get up quickly, they exchange body shots, what a first three minutes between the two.
06:11Garcia's speed with the left hand, Ben coming back at him with body shots.
06:17Oh, more of this, please, boys.
06:28What a start.
06:29First three minutes, we thought it'd be fiery.
06:32Tony Sims in there with Conor.
06:50All the talk about the weight.
06:53146, he came in yesterday morning.
06:55Garcia, 145 and a half.
06:57Ben put that post out that he was 178.4.
07:01No one really believes that, but he's certainly going to be very heavy.
07:06He's going to have a big advantage on Garcia.
07:08who he believes is a pumped up lightweight.
07:11Hasn't been a knockout artist at 147 yet, Ryan Garcia, but he did.
07:17Just a troubled Conor Ben early with that left hand.
07:20Ben back with body shots.
07:21Round two.
07:24First defense for Garcia.
07:26Big betting favorite here in Vegas, and it would be a real upset if Conor Ben can pull this off.
07:32He's up in levels and a long way from home.
07:39So fast.
07:41He's taking them, isn't he?
07:42Yeah, he's taking them well.
07:43And he's giving some back.
07:45Conor Ben with body shots too, and good uppercut from Garcia.
07:51Don't keep that maintaining that distance though, Garcia, though, because Ben will fire back under pressure.
07:57Oh, just took his eyes off there, Garcia, and Ben was on him.
08:03You're right, Khan, he's got to do everything, hasn't he?
08:05Just to try and rough him up and put that pressure on.
08:08But the speed and these uppercutters.
08:21He's down for the third time in his life, but it's the big crisis now.
08:26And Ryan Garcia is a predatory finisher.
08:29Can Conor Ben survive this?
08:32He's in dire straits, Ben.
08:34You need to hold on.
08:36You need to hold on.
08:37That's going to be it, man.
08:38Trapped on the ropes.
08:40Referee spits them up.
08:421.45 left in the second.
08:44Oh, the body shots.
08:45Body shots from Garcia.
08:46Punishing shots.
08:48And Ryan Garcia defends his well-mark away title.
08:52In double-click time.
08:54A second round stoppage.
08:57And Conor Ben is taken out.
09:00Garcia strikes gold.
09:02And maybe he is...
