Champion floors challenger with concussive right

López, Haney, Stevenson among possible fights
Ryan Garcia needed less than four minutes to blow away Conor Benn before turning his sights on the rest of the welterweight division.
The 28-year-old American demolished Benn inside two rounds on Saturday night to retain his World Boxing Council championship at 147lb, dropping the British challenger with a concussive right hand before the referee stepped in moments later at T-Mobile Arena. Then, with Teófimo López taunting him from ringside and threatening to storm the ring, Garcia made it clear he was ready to take on all comers.
