"I paid the price for chasing greatness" 🥊 Conor Benn reflects on his defeat to Ryan Garcia 💬

Should the referee have let Conor Benn continue? Benn says he felt able to fight on, but he is not arguing with the official whose job was to protect him.

His sharper doubts concern what happened before he entered the ring. Reflecting on his defeat to Ryan Garcia in a Sky Sports Boxing interview, Benn questions the decision to cut down to the welterweight limit.

"There's one thing making the weight, and then there's one thing performing at your best at the weight," he says.

Benn explains that proving people wrong about his ability to make welterweight became part of his motivation. Looking back, he separates that achievement from being ready to deliver in the ring. His verdict: "I paid the price for, say, chasing greatness."

The Short drew roughly 79,000 views in its first 18 hours, far beyond the channel's usual opening-day pace for the format. The comments are unusually busy too, with viewers debating whether the weight cut or the difference in boxing skills better explains the result. Several also bring up Benn's earlier fight with Chris Eubank Jr when questioning his account of the weight issue.

Sky Sports Boxing has also posted a longer Benn interview about a possible Manny Pacquiao fight early next year. For this shorter reflection, though, Benn's focus is the distinction between reaching a weight and being effective at it.
