Boxing World Predictions

"This is a really good fight and it’s not as one-sided as everyone thinks… If Garcia has taken this lightly in any way he will lose, but he’s in great shape and saying the right things."Tony Bellew, former cruiserweight world champion

"Benn looked terrible… last time out against an ageing Regis Prograis… I don’t get a good feeling, so I’ll go with a comfortable Garcia win."Carl Frampton, former two-weight world champion

"We know Benn can be tenacious and has power but… I think he’ll be the same fighter he was in the two fights against Chris Eubank Jr. … I’ll go with Garcia to get the stoppage inside five rounds."Barry Jones, former super-featherweight world champion

"Benn is going to get knocked out in one or two rounds… You can’t take off all this weight at this age."Bob Arum, Top Rank promoter

"It’s heavily on what Garcia turns up. If a very good Garcia turns up I can see it being over early."Paul Smith, former world title challenger
