Broner Predicts Garcia Knocks Out Benn at 147 Pounds as Weight Doubts Shadow Sept. 12 Fight

Summary
Adrien Broner said Ryan Garcia will score a “nasty knockout” against Conor Benn, arguing Benn may not even make the 147-pound limit for their Sept. 12 bout in Las Vegas.
147 pounds has become the central question because Benn has not fought at that weight since stopping Chris van Heerden in 2022 and last boxed at a 150-pound catchweight against Regis Prograis in April.
Ryan Garcia echoed those concerns during Broner’s livestream, reinforcing pre-fight skepticism around Benn’s ability to handle championship welterweight conditions.
Garcia enters as the clear favorite after winning the WBC welterweight title with a unanimous decision over Mario Barrios in February, while Benn’s résumé is still viewed as thin at world level.
