Ryan Garcia knocks out Conor Benn to retain WBC welterweight championship – as it happened

• Garcia retains 147lb title with second-round TKO

• Teofimo Lopez confronts Garcia afterward in ring

• Opetaia retains cruiserweight title on undercard

Zuffa/Paramount paused for a commercial break with Garcia and Benn in the ring before the fighter announcements. Which is a choice! Anyway, the waiting is over. The final instructions have been given by referee Tom Taylor, the seconds are out and we'll pick it up with round-by-round coverage from here!

And here comes Ryan Garcia! The champion makes his way through the bowels of T-Mobile Arena and on to the floor as Vicente Fernandez's El Rey plays over the sound system, an obvious hit with a febrile crowd on Mexican Independence Day weekend.
