In an electrifying competition between the two former world champions, they desperately returned to the glory of the world title, Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa corrected round rounds to win a unanimous decision about Magsayo Mark “Magnifico”, capturing the free transient title of WBC featheight waedweight. Showtime from Toyota Arena in Ontario, California, supplying the most significant event of boxing masters.
“Man, I just went there, I wanted it and took a fight for him,” said Figueroa. “I wanted this fight so much. He came back a little, but when I hit him with a shot with the body, he influenced him, and I put emphasis on him and emphasis. “
In a fight that did not appear as unilateral as judges results cards, Figueroa (24-1-1, 18 KO) won the results of 117-109 twice and 118-108. The unofficial Showtime, unofficial shooter, saw the fight 114-112 in favor of Figueroa, with two deductions of Magsayo Point in order to maintain the difference in the fight on the results card.
“I thought the fight was much closer than the results indicated,” said Magsayo. “I don’t know how to explain the results cards or point deductions. It’s very disappointing. I plan to go to 130 pounds after this fight. “
Figueroa, which on average 92 blows thrown to the round throughout his career, was restricted to 54 blows thrown to the round against Magsayo (24-2, 16 KO). Figueroa threw 60 more blows than Magsayo, but he landed three less blows, and the warriors were separated by more than four landed blows in just three out of twelve rounds.
Figueroa began slowly and had to withstand the best Magsayo shots at the beginning of the fight, showing that he had one of the best sides in boxing. But Magsayo was tired when the rounds lasted and was punished twice for staying in the eight and eleven.
Figueroa, a former 122-pound world champion, is now in line to face the world champion WBC Rey Vargas. Vargas was on Saturday evening.
“I felt robust,” said 26-year-old from Weslac in Texas. “I just don’t stop. I don’t tire me and I’m relentless and I appeared and I wanted to fight. Whoever wants to fight me, I will fight. I want to fight for the world championship title. I just want to give fans the fight they want. “
In Slugfest of A-Main Event Power-PUNCHING, Mexican Armando Reséndiz (14-1, 10 KO) provided the star’s performance, the gibberish “Swift” Jarrett Hurd (24-3, 16 KO) and spoiled the former United United 154-Funting World Champion . The ring doctor stopped the competition five seconds to the tenth and final round due to solemn lifting to Hurd’s lip.

In the thrilling scrap metal in the average weight, Hurd had moments during the attack, combining 228 out of 562 (40 percent) thrown. However, Hurd, in his first fight for 21 months, was not able to overcome the pressure and the Resténdiz hit. Reséndiz landed 206 power beats, ultimately opening the deep cut of the Hurda lip, which caused the end of the fight. At the time of stopping, Reséndiz was overtaken at all three judges.
“I visualized this fight for as long as I intended to win this fight,” said Reséndiz in the ring by the translator Showtime Felix Dejeesus. “It was about my heart, but I know I can be even better and you will see what I mean in my next fight. I told everyone that I was ready to go to war, after all I am a Mexican. It was a robust, physical fight as we expected. The results speak for themselves. “
Hurd tried to work on a stab early, landing a total of 27 stabs in third and four rounds, but fighting for the third time for over three years, Hurd disappeared as the rounds passed. In rounds from six to nine Reséndiz, 106 power strokes landed, limiting Hurd to 69 unloaded power blows.
“I knew it would be arduous, a finger based on our styles,” said 32-year-old Hurd, who for the first time lost at a distance in his career. “But I just had to do it one more thing. I would like to be able to finish it, but my lip was incorrectly cut. Congratulations to Reséndiz. I would definitely like to continue. At no time I defended this fight at all, but I have to respect what doctors say and I can’t support it. “
In the television opener, the rapidly developing teenager Elijah Garcia (14-0, 12 KO) rose to this occasion in a huge fight, dropping and stopping the previously undefeated pretender to medium weight, Amilcar Vidal, Jr. (16-1, 12 kos) with a piping of blows at 2:17 fourth round. Watch KO here.
From the opening bell Garcia he initiated a two -way fight, which suddenly ended when Vidal was stunned with his right hand to his head and withdrew with ropes in search of the cover. 19-year-old Garcia sensed that he had hurt the opponent and threw himself, releasing the punch of blows that dropped Vidal and forced judge Jacek Reiss to stop the fight.
“That’s what he dreams, so it’s not a surprise,” said Garcia of Phoenix, who detained six of the last seven opponents. “I worked on it because I changed a professional, so we’ll go forward step by step.”
For only three and a half rounds of romance forward and title, both warriors were bloody and connected to 189 blows, and 593 blows. Power balls were a difference in combat, because Garcia landed 54 percent of his power blows 46 percent Vidal. In the fourth round of Garcia, 62 percent of his blows landed, including the versatile last blows.
“I remain ready and mentally I am robust,” Garcia continued. “I know mentally, I could lose the first few rounds, but I crashed him. He began to go back. He is a great opponent. No disrespect. I caught him and finished. I am not sure what I hurt him, but I know that I hurt him, and for me I am 19, I have maturity to say whether they are hurt or not. “
After a definite announcement to the boxing world in his national television debut, Garcia promised that his newly earned fans would see him much more.
“I can become a champion before I’m 21 or 22 years antique,” he said. “I can overtake the schedule.”

Dana White Shuts Down Ryan Garcias Egg Stunt Controversy
Published

September 11, 2026
Ryan Garcia showed up to Friday’s face-off with a pair of eggs tucked into his pockets, seemingly planning to pelt Conor Benn. The prank fell apart before Garcia even stepped on stage because Dana White’s security guards caught on immediately.
“Before the face-off, Ryan Garcia had two eggs in his pocket. My security team saw it and he came up to me before. He said, ‘He’s got two eggs in his pocket. What do you want me to do?’ I said, ‘Have him give you the eggs. Get the eggs out of his pocket,’” White told Ring Magazine. “We don’t need him hitting Conor Benn with an egg.”
White made the right call. Tossing an egg sounds silly on paper, but Benn was never going to shrug off that kind of public disrespect under the glare of the cameras. A single retaliatory swing could have sparked an injury, triggered a suspension, or completely wiped out the headliner.

Garcia clearly plotted this out ahead of time. He sourced the eggs, slipped them past the doors, and bided his time until the face-off. The payoff amounted to nothing more than a brief viral clip online. The downside was putting a massive WBC welterweight title bout in jeopardy after promoters poured millions into the event.
Security stepped in just in time to protect Garcia from his own worst impulses. When Saturday night arrives, he can focus on landing clean punches against Benn instead of throwing breakfast food. Taking those eggs away prevented an instant, close-quarters brawl that almost certainly would have left one of them cut, bruised, and unfit to fight on Saturday. Ryan was playing with fire for a five-second clip.

Expert Predictions for Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn: Insights from Canelo, Terence Crawford, and Mike Tyson

September 11, 2026
Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn finally collide in Las Vegas this weekend in a fight that has generated plenty of intrigue because of the contrasting routes both men have taken to get here.
Garcia makes the first defence of his WBC welterweight title after defeating Mario Barrios earlier this yearwhile Benn drops back to 147lbs for the first time since 2022 following spells at higher weights.
The Brit has admitted the weight cut has been ‘brutal’adding another major variable to a fight in which Garcia’s speed and power will be tested against Benn’s pressure and aggression.
With both men carrying significant name value and plenty at stake, the biggest names in boxing have weighed in on what might happen – will it be a first successful defence for the more experienced Garcia, or can the Brit cause an almighty upset on away soil?
Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez
Speaking on the Ariel Helwani ShowMexican icon Canelo backed his former stablemate Garcia, though complimented both men.
“I like Ryan, he is very talented. When he is focussed, he can beat everybody … I know Conor too and I like Conor too, but I think that Ryan is a special fighter.”
Terence Crawford
Recently retired pound-for-pound superstar Crawford – who has been embroiled in a back-and-forth with Garcia – told DAZN that the American’s loss to Rolando Romero will provide a good blueprint for Benn to win.
“I think Conor Benn. I think Rolly showed us all that if you don’t get hit with the left hook and you land your big shots, then you can neutralise Ryan. I think Conor Benn going in with a great game plan can be victorious.”
Shakur Stevenson
A potential rival for both men in the future, four-weight world champion backed Garcia in an interview with FightHypebut does not rule out the Brit ‘shocking the world’.
“I just don’t think that he has got the experience to beat Ryan, I think that is what is going to come out. But, I seen something with Fernando Vargas where he said, ‘which one of them guys quit?’, and I said ‘damn’.
“I never really thought about that but that is like a fighters mentality and Ryan did kind of quit in one of his fights and Conor Benn has never quit. It is an interesting thing and maybe Conor Benn may shock the world and beat Ryan Garcia but me, knowing Ryan, Ryan should beat him.”
Eddie Hearn
After a bitter promotional split, Eddie Hearn told Boxing News that he is backing Garcia to beat his former charge due to the drastic weight cut.
“If he gets his flush on the chin at 147lb against Ryan Garcia, the fight is over. So he’s got to rely on his ability but he likes to engage, he likes to jump in. Ryan is so reactive, he’s a great counter puncher but Ryan can also be hurt, but I don’t think Conor is going to punch hard enough at 147lbs.
Mike Tyson
The sport’s youngest ever heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, backs Garcia to beat an improving Benn.
“Ryan [wins]. We’ll see [if it ends by knockout]. Conor’s getting better.”
The fight takes place this Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jai Opetaia and Noel Mikaelian meet in a cruiserweight clash as co-main event.

Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn: Expert Prediction for the Upcoming Showdown
Published

September 10, 2026

No, Garcia, at his peak and, we think, now fully focused like he should have always been in his career, appears to hold all the cards in this one; too many of them for Benn to have any real shot at beating him. For starters, Benn, a natural middleweight or super-middleweight, has hurt himself in making the 147-pound limit (and tomorrow’s official weigh-in could tell us plenty as far as how Saturday’s fight goes). Benn, “emaciated,” as one description has put it, could be severely weakened as well as compromised when he sets foot in the ring, due to having boiled down so dangerously low.
Also, Benn has never met anyone with the blend of speed and power that Garcia possesses. In a nutshell: it looks like a disaster coming for Benn. Maybe Benn – the son, as we know, of one of the most frighteningly brave and gutsy British warriors of them all – can prove us all wrong, and maybe he can fight the fire with fire, and show us that he did the right thing in dropping down to 147. Maybe. But it seems unlikely. Benn has shown his toughness in fights, but Garcia during his career has shown us class, accuracy of fist, and a spiteful element to his game. Might Garcia enjoy this fight, perhaps too much?
Garcia has predicted a KO win inside five.
Benn, having his first, if you want to call it, super-fight, will give it his all. Or at least he’ll try to. But Garcia, far more accustomed to the big-fight, Vegas atmosphere, looks set to sizzle, to dominate; to detonate. To detonate his famed left hook as he scores himself a highlight-reel KO victory.
Benn, 25-1(14) and coming off a good decision win over Regis Prograis, has never been stopped. He will be on Saturday.
Garcia, 25-2(20), the younger man by a year at age 28 and coming off that points win over Mario Barrios, in which he won the gold belt, will indeed shine like a star.
Garcia, with a flash, will land a chilling left hook, flush on the jaw. The bomb, a counter shot, will lay Benn out on the floor, possibly on his face, the fight over with. “King Ry” will celebrate his fifth-round KO prediction.
Benn will regroup and move up to either 160 or 168. Garcia? He may well engage in nothing but super-fights from Saturday on in. Maybe.
