Terence Crawford trainer BoMac makes KO pick for Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn: “He destroys him”

Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn will go toe-to-toe in an intriguing welterweight world title clash next month, and Terence Crawford’s trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre has offered his prediction for the fight, forecasting a statement stoppage.

‘King Ry’ has had a rollercoaster few years in the sport, after a career-best win over Devin Haney was overturned to a no-contest due to a failed drugs test, then losing in a bid for the WBA welterweight world title against Rolando Romero upon his return, following a one-year ban.

Despite that underwhelming display against ‘Rolly’, Garcia challenged for world honours once again in his next outing and impressed in a dominant win over Mario Barrios back in February, as he captured world honours for the first time in his career.

In a first attempted defence of the WBC welterweight world title, Garcia is tasked with controversial mandatory challenger Conor Benn, but ‘BoMac’, who trained Crawford, told The Last Stand Podcast that he believes the Briton will bring Garcia’s reign to an early end and do so in emphatic fashion.

“Conor Benn is going to probably stop him. He gonna probably stop him, man. Ryan ain’t been the same since that first fight with Haney, he got popped. He just never got back to that type of winning.

“I have seen Benn first hand, man that dude is going to destroy Garcia. You heard it first from ‘BoMac’.”

Garcia-Benn takes place on Saturday, September 12, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with Jai Opetaia set to take on Noel Mikaelian in a cruiserweight affair in the co-main event.

A major WWE faction had to change its name due to The Bloodline. Roman Reigns has reformed The Bloodline on WWE RAW alongside The Usos and Jacob Fatu.

Speaking with Simon Miller on Under the Mat, Ridge Holland shared the original name for The Brawling Brutes faction. He noted that they were originally supposed to be called The Bloody Brutes, but that name got dropped as it was too similar to The Bloodline.

“I think originally it was supposed to be the Bloody Brutes, but we couldn’t be the Bloody Brutes because of the Bloodline,” said Holland. (H/T: WrestleTalk)

Ridge Holland exited the company last year after WWE informed him they would not be renewing his contract. The 38-year-old was out of action due to an injury when he learned his time at the company was coming to an end.

He returned to the ring last month at Maximum Pro Wrestling in England. Sheamus was the leader of The Brawling Brutes faction but is also set to become a free agent later this year. The Celtic Warrior reportedly declined a restructured contract offer from the promotion.

Ridge Holland criticizes WWE following his release

Wrestling veteran Ridge Holland criticized WWE following his departure from the company.

Speaking on the Wrestling Pedigree podcast, Holland went off on the promotion when asked about the company releasing talent. He suggested that they did not care about the people on the roster and that it was bad business.

“I think it’s bad business practice. I think it shows that you don’t care about your talent. It shows you don’t care about human beings. These people got hurt working for you… I just don’t think you can treat humans like that, especially when we’re putting our bodies on the line for you guys. I think that there needs to be better standards and practices when it comes to looking after talent,” Holland said.

Big E’s in-ring career came to an end during a match against Ridge Holland and Sheamus on the March 11, 2022, edition of SmackDown. Holland went for an overhead Suplex outside the ring, and Big E suffered a broken neck and was never able to return to the ring.
