Prediction, pick for Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn

Prediction, pick for Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

Ryan Garcia defends his WBC Welterweight Championship against Conor Benn tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada, at T-Mobile Arena. This is one of the biggest title fights in boxing this year. Garcia and Benn are two of the sport’s most exciting fighters and should deliver a tremendous fight. The Main Card begins at 8:00 p.m. ET, with the Main Event ring walks expected at 10:30 p.m. ET. 

Check out my best bet below for Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn.

Garcia vs. Benn: Over 9.5 Rounds (-125)

From April 2024 to May 2025, Garcia went through tough times as he beat Devin Haney, but then it was overturned to a no contest after he tested positive for a banned substance. After that, Garcia came back and suffered his second career loss to Rolando Romero. But Garcia proved in February that he is still among the best fighters in the world when he beat Mario Barrios. Garcia appears more focused than ever heading into this bout.

Benn, 29, is 25-1 with 14 knockouts and is coming off a win against Regis Prograis. In April 2025, Benn suffered his first career loss to Chris Eubank Jr. but avenged that loss in the following fight. Conor Benn is attempting to realize his dream of becoming a champion like his dad, Nigel Benn.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, Garcia is the favorite at -330 with Benn as a +250 underdog in the contest. This fight has an over/under of 9.5 rounds, with the over at -125 and the under at -110. Garcia is -105 and +240

Garcia has a two-inch reach advantage (70″ vs. 68″) while being slightly taller (5’9.5″ vs. 5’8″). Although Garcia has a ton of power, he hasn’t produced a knockout since December 2023. Garcia’s last three fights have gone to a decision, and Benn’s previous five contests have gone to the judges’ scorecards. That said, my favorite play is over 9.5 rounds at -125.
