Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn: Weigh-In Results for 147-Pound Clash
Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn are finally done talking. The scales have spoken.
On Friday in Las Vegas, both men cleared the welterweight limit ahead of their grudge match at T-Mobile Arena, setting the stage for a volatile 147-pound showdown that has been simmering for months. Ryan Garcia, the WBC Welterweight champion, came in at a sharp 145.5 lbs, while British contender Conor Benn registered 146 lbs — both safely under the championship ceiling.
No drama. No excuses left.
The main event headlines a Paramount+ card on Saturday night, but the stakes were already evident at the weigh-in. Garcia, the star with the belt and the spotlight, looked lean and dialed in. Benn, the pressure fighter with a point to prove, hit the mark and stared through the moment. The talking now gives way to timing, power, and nerve under the lights.
Opetaia–Mikaelian unify the power at cruiserweight
If the main event brings the fire, the co-main brings the steel.
Jai Opetaia, defending his Zuffa Boxing and The Ring Cruiserweight titles, tipped the scales at 199 lbs. Across from him, WBC 200-pound champion Noel Mikaelian came in right on the division limit at 200 lbs, making their clash a crisp, unified statement at cruiserweight.
Opetaia has carved out a reputation as one of the most dangerous men at 200 lbs. Mikaelian arrives with a world title of his own and the kind of physical presence that can turn a technical fight into a grind. Both made weight. Both kept their composure. The belts will decide the rest.
