“I’m still champion at 175,” Benavidez said. “I’m champion at 175 and 200. So if they want to come get it at 175, let’s get it at 175.”
Boxing fans, or least those who support Benavidez, haven’t forgotten how Canelo has yet to take on the match. Alvarez, wearing a black Munguía T-shirt, was booed all three times he was shown on the large video board. Benavidez, who was born in Phoenix and lives in Miami, later was cheered while shown going through prefight preparations.
He then gave his fans plenty more to cheer about and they reciprocated by regularly chanting his nickname “Monstruo” in the Cinco de Mayo weekend showcase fight.
Benavidez, even when being backed down by Ramirez, delivered his signature rapid-fire combinations, usually pelting his opponent’s head. A right hand to Ramirez’s head in the fourth staggered him, and Benavidez went for the knockout but settled for the knockdown at the end of the round when Zurdo went down to his left knee.
Then two rounds later, Ramirez again went to a knee. This time, the fight was over.
