Not Conor Benn, then? Well, Benn’s move to Zuffa might soon cost him his WBC mandatory-challenger status, anyway.

Garcia: “It feels great, man, but it feels better to be a child of God, to be honest.

Garcia’s right hand injured?

The question at this point is: can he actually get Barrios out of there? Or is Barrios just a bit too durable?

Garcia’s father – his coach – tells DAZN from ringside that Ryan’s right hand might be hurting. The instruction is therefore to focus on the jab and left hook, and to only use the cross when necessary.

Garcia wings a left hook, but it’s only a grazing shot. Now he hurls a right hook to the body. Maybe that right hand isn’t hurting too much after all.
