Garcia ended the contest in round two
The official result lists a technical knockout at 1:25. Benn did not reach the later rounds, and the bout did not require judges to decide the winner.
Garcia’s speed and power shaped the key exchange, while Benn’s forward pressure could not prevent the stoppage. The account centers the recorded finish rather than relying on pre-fight predictions.
A title defense in Las Vegas
The championship remained with Garcia after the fight. Official event coverage confirms the venue and title status, making this a title defense as well as a high-profile meeting between two welterweights.
The result is distinct from separate bouts on the same card, including the other championship and undercard outcomes. Future plans for either boxer require a separate announcement and should not be inferred from the win.
The official scorecard for the Garcia–Benn card lists Alexis Rocha defeating Jose Ramirez by unanimous decision and other title action on the program. Those bouts were separate from Garcia’s second-round finish and did not affect his title result.
Official event coverage also records the venue as T-Mobile Arena and Garcia’s championship status after the stoppage.
