  "account": "Conor Benn faced defeat at the hands of Ryan Garcia in a two-round fight held in Las Vegas. The British fighter, who was competing for a world title for the first time, was knocked out by Garcia in round two. The \"Destroyer\" secured his victory with a powerful right hook, which left Benn stunned and overwhelmed. This marked Benn's first career stoppage loss, following a points defeat by Chris Eubank Jr last April. Garcia, 28, retained his WBC welterweight belt after the emphatic win. The 29-year-old Benn had started with heavy pressure, while Garcia countered with his signature left hook. Despite the controversy surrounding both fighters' failed drug tests, Benn congratulated Garcia post-fight, hinting at a possible future rematch against Chris Eubank Jr. Garcia, meanwhile, could be set for a showdown with Teofimo Lopez, who recently claimed the WBA welterweight title.",
