I don't know, man. He doesn't really give [music] me I'm not really I don't feel anything from him. I'm telling you, it's going to be one of those things where it's like butter.
I cut him off [music] and boom, you're going to see like it's going to be it's going to be one of those performances that [music] people will be like, "All right, Ryan's here. It's he's here to stay. " And he definitely made it clear that he's he's not somebody to play with.
Like a [music] master class champion. Yeah, it's going to be it's going to be one of those vintage knockouts. [music] You know, remember I said my last fight it's going to be a you know RG classic.
This is going to be a throwback RG where he gets knocked out cold. He is terrified [music] of me when I say he is scared every time I put my fingers on my phone to tweet against him. He [music] is terrified.

You're you're saying about fifth round, right? That's what you're revealing. Five rounds and below.
Five rounds. Second round. Damn.
Yeah. Anything sub five rounds? Anything sub five rounds is a disappointment, but I will still finish the [music] job.

Garcia questioned [music] Ben's skill set, claiming he has never faced anyone with his speed, timing, and knockout power. If anybody's a performer, it's him. You know, he when he gets up there, he he definitely want to sell the fight, but he doesn't understand that, you know, that's one aspect of it.
He he just is not that good of a fighter to [music] back those things up. Like he does it because he knows it's for a show. I'm doing it because I'mma join myself and that's how I really act in real life.
Like he that's just how I am. You talk I'm going to go crazy. But I've been boxing my whole life.
So I'm going to punish him in that ring. He can't punish me. He's not good enough as a fighter.
But I do like his little energy. I [music] think he's cool. But he's going to he's in for a rude awakening.
Him and his whole team. They know it. They'll probably tell him, "Hey man, you have [music] a good chance to win a title, man.
This is your dream. " Yeah, they're hyping it up, but in the back of their mind, they know, [music] "Nah, you're not ready. " You don't feel like he's on your level, basically.
Nah, not at all. I'm going to make that very clear. Uh, do you feel Okay, so he's coming up there.
He's speaking to you in Spanish, by the way. Were you expecting that from him? The Spanish was pretty good.
Uh, he's been kind of hyping that up. He, you know, I've been dealing with this my [music] whole life. I'm not Mexican.
Um, no sabo. Brimming with confidence, Ryan made it clear he expects to expose Ben's weaknesses and prove there's a significant gap between them when they finally meet in the ring. Why do you think he's doing that?
Why do you think he's speaking to you in Spanish when you say because he's trying to make fun of my, you know, all the people. He's trying to he's basically piggybacking, you know, off the the bandwagon of Ryan's a no kid and this and that. It's like, bro, it's like, [music] if my own Mexican people don't want to be behind me, that's cool.
But I'm still going to be waving that flag. I'm still going to be coming out to my Spanish songs that I want to come out to. I really don't care, bro.
Like, at the end of the day, I'm for everybody. I love everybody. I love every country.
I love every soul. I'm cool. I'm fighting for God.
I'm fighting for the kingdom of heaven. I'm not, [music] you know, I'm not really all into that, man. I'm I'm prideful for my heritage and everything, but if you're not behind me, it's cool.
I really It's not really that serious to me, man. It's really not. Canelo Alvarez shared his thoughts on Ryan Garcia, praising his natural talent and explosive punching power, while stressing that talent alone isn't enough to reach the very top of boxing.

How is your relationship with Ryan now?
Good. Uh, obviously we don't talk that much, but it's good. I always saying that I like Ryan.
He's very talented and when he's focused, he can beat everybody. Do you think he wins that fight? I know Connor too and I like Connor too.
But I think Ryan is is a special fighter. He was telling me he was on the show yesterday and he was saying that um sometimes he gets heat from people especially the Mexican fans cuz he doesn't speak Spanish and they don't feel like he's like truly Mexican because he, you know, didn't grow up there or something like that. How do you how do you feel about that?
Is that fair? Yeah, maybe. But who cares?
Yeah, he can fight. Who cares, right? That's kind of his approach, too.
But he's now fighting on that special date. That's a That's a very That's You fought there. De La Hoya fought there.
It's a special special date to fight on that that weekend, right? He's very good. Especially if I turned out down that day now.
Yeah. Because I moved my fight. I think he's he's he's good for fighting that day.
I think he's the correct person to do it. He's the right guy. And a fight, right?
A fight. deserve that day. Simon Jordan shared his honest reaction to the announcement of Ryan Garcia versus Connor Ben, admitting it has all the ingredients to be an explosive fight.

Despite his concerns, Jordan expects an entertaining contest and believes both fighters willingness to engage will make it one of the most exciting matchups of the year. Conor Ben has done a lot of talking and now it's time to deliver.
This is the launch pad for him. The the acid test. But you're both telling me it's going to be a tough night for Ben.
On what we've seen, on what we've seen, Ryan Garcia would start a heavy favorite for me. Heavy favorite. Heavy favorite.
Yeah. Heavy favorite. Really?
Yeah. Yeah. We got to remember, Jim, for people that won't understand, you know, boxing weights and and how how hard it is to make these boxing weights, Connor Ben has been competing at 160 pounds.
He went down to 155 lbs, was it or something last time on? No, 15. Yeah.
Whatever it was, he dropped into the low 150s last time. What regress he had three, and so I can't tell you how difficult it is dropping those last couple of pounds. He looked weight drained when he was 150, 151 or whatever he was.
I know it is around that sort of mark to drop that extra three pounds in body fluid is very very difficult and to maintain that strength in those later rounds. Ryan Garcia does it. We know that he's the champion.
Can Connor Ben carry the power that he had up at 160 against Chris Eubank down to 147? If he can, we've got a real fight. But that is a big if.
You're both going to take Garcia to win it, aren't you? I on from Yeah. on on paper I'd say that Ryan Garcia would as I said listen Jim is a heavy favorite and anyone that says it is not right I hope Connor wins I mean I'm like I want Connor to win I want the the circle to be completed in terms of whatever happened in the past is now the past who are literally a fighters that have fallen foul of these circumstances and gotten away with people forgetting about it so Connor is in that is in that position now so he should be given all the cache if he goes and beats Ryan Garcia it's up there Tim Zoo shared his prediction for boxing's biggest upcoming fight, giving his take on Ryan Garcia versus Connor Ben.

While acknowledging the dangers each opponent brings, he offered his picks on who he believes will have their hand raised when the dust settles. And then also Ryan Garcia against Conor Ben.
How do you see that one? I think Ryan's going to be too quick. Yeah, I think he's too sharp.
I think he's he's he's going through a good good wave right now and I think the momentum is going to over overcome everything. Is there any way in your opinion that Connor can win that fight? Yeah, he can make it a dog fight.
Make it a dog fight. So, it's boxing. You don't know what happens, you know.
Aola believes fans are in for a treat when Ryan Garcia and Connor Ben finally collide, calling it a matchup that's guaranteed to deliver entertainment. He expects an action-packed fight thanks to both men's aggressive styles, explosive power, and willingness to exchange punches. While the outcome remains up for debate, Oladipo is confident, one thing is certain.
Ryan Garcia versus Connor Ben is going to be a very fun fight. Connor Ben has been going Ryan for ages. He's been calling for this fight.
He's been wanting this fight. Ryan really hasn't engaged. Um although we knew this fight was going to happen.
As soon as the WBC uh put Connor Ben as did they put him as mandatory or did they rank him number one? They're slightly different those two things. Um but as soon as they did that anyway we knew it was just a case of okay, how are they going to work this out from Ryan's perspective with Golden Boy and Done and I feel like they've come to an agreement.
I haven't read too much about how this fight's going to play out in terms of broadcast, but I did read something that the zone have UK and Ireland rights [music] and I'm guessing that in America it's going to be I don't know, Ring Magazine Zufa. I know that sounds a bit strange, but I do think everyone is going to try and get a slice of the pie in order for this fight to be made. [music] And that's what's happened.
As for the fight, I know a lot of you probably uh won't be too happy with Connor Ben getting this opportunity, but Ryan didn't deserve the opportunity when he fought Barios. Let's not forget Ryan's fight before Barios was Roly Romero where he lost and his next fight is a world title fight. So, uh neither are probably deserving of the opportunities given to them, but don't take away from the fact that that doesn't mean it's not a big fight.
This is an enormous fight. It really is. Conor Ben is well known now to the American market.
Obviously, Ryan's a superstar over there, and I think it'll be a good fight as well. But Terence Crawford questioned whether Ryan Garcia has the ring IQ to consistently beat elite opponents, arguing that natural talent and punching power alone aren't enough at the highest level. While acknowledging Garcia's speed and knockout ability, Crawford believes Ryan lacks the boxing intelligence and tactical adjustments needed to overcome the sport's best fighters.
In Crawford's view, that's the key difference between being a talented contender and becoming a dominant champion. I Ryan Garcia cool, but he's not smart enough. You know, I just think him and Devin fought each other so many times, like they just know each other, right?
They just know each other. But I I think when put up against those other guys, like they won't outsmart him. Do you think there's such a thing that a fighter [music] has this fighter's number?
You know how people say he just got his number? Do you think Ryan has Devon's number? I just think [music] all the antics that played in before the fight before the fight, you know, [music] distracted Devon and caught him off guard and, you know, he took Ryan lightly.
So, you think if they p together be different? Yeah, I I do because if you watch the fight, he was just getting hit with the same [music] punch over and over and over, right? And I just can't see Shakur, Keshan, you know, Africa or Tank for that matter.
