“We came up together,” Benavidez said. “We came up sparring together. I got him ready for his world championship fights. He got me ready for my world championship fights. I just want to say I love Zurdo Ramirez, but, you know, it is what it is in here. There’s only one ‘Monster.’”
And now the 29-year-old Benavidez can make a credible argument after dominating the 34-year-old Mexican that he one of the sport’s best pound-for-pound boxers if not right at the top.
The statistics underscored how much Benavidez owned the fight.
According to Compubox, he landed 151 punches at a 46.2% to 89 for Ramirez, who reached his target on 19.8% of attempts. The power punches were 137-64 and the percentage 56.8-27.7.
“I knew I wasn’t going to be able to overpower him because it was my first time coming up to 200 pounds,” Benavidez said. “So I knew I had to use the gifts that God gave me: speed, power, movement, punch selection and IQ. That’s exactly what I did.”
