Some mightiness reason that 'burst' is excessively final.
It would beryllium unfair not to recognition Benn's in-ring evolution, going from a earthy novice who utilized to instrumentality beatings successful sparring to becoming 1 of British boxing's astir recognisable fighters.
There volition inactive beryllium large fights available, not slightest a imaginable trilogy with Eubank.
But his adjacent determination present carries greater significance.
Benn had said helium planned to determination up successful value careless of Saturday's result.
With nary rehydration clause, helium looked strikingly bigger successful the ringing and had posted footage connected Friday evening suggesting helium was 32lb heavier than astatine the authoritative weigh-in, though the fig was not independently verified.
That inevitably reignites statement astir utmost value cutting, but determination is besides a much contiguous sporting concern. If Benn struggled truthful severely with Garcia's velocity and timing, moving up to look people bigger men brings its ain dangers.
Zuffa Boxing main Dana White mostly sidestepped that question afterwards.
"Let Conor spell home, walk immoderate clip with his family, bask the occurrence helium had this year," White said. "When he's acceptable to travel backmost and lets america know, we'll fig retired what's adjacent for him."
Asked whether moving up against bigger opponents could beryllium adjacent much dangerous, White said: "We'll see. We'll spot however the full happening figures out."
Benn did not be the post-fight quality conference, leaving White to look questions astir a combatant Zuffa reportedly paid £11m to motion for his archetypal deal.
Asked whether Benn had inactive been worthy the money, White bluntly said: "Every penny of it."
But aft Garcia exposed specified a sizeable gulf, the roadworthy to becoming a satellite champion abruptly looks considerably longer than it did erstwhile helium arrived successful Las Vegas.
