Garcia confirmed no rehydration clause for his WBC welterweight title defense against Benn on September 12 at T-Mobile Arena, his first bout since winning the belt from Mario Barrios in February. The American-Mexican star, sharp in open workouts with crisp jabs and combinations, fired back at Benn’s jabs about his heritage, vowing to slap him at the weigh-in if provoked. With Garcia’s elite hand speed and left hook facing Benn’s pressure style after dropping from middleweight, experts like Eddie Hearn predict Benn ‘will get chinned’ in the high-stakes Mexican Independence Day weekend showdown.
