Benavidez brought flair to his entrance with Mexican regional music complementing his white trunks adorned with green, white, and red trim. As the fight unfolded, he took control from the start by imposing his conditions on what quickly became a one-sided match. In the initial rounds, Ramirez managed to stay upright and absorb some head blows, but struggled more as the bout progressed.
In rounds three and four, Benavidez stepped up his assault. He delivered powerful blows that began causing visible damage to Ramirez, opening wounds that laid bare his opponent's vulnerabilities. By rounds five and six, Ramirez couldn't keep up with Benavidez's evasive moves and precision punches.
After sealing the win against Ramirez—as both WBA and WBO Cruiserweight Champion—Benavidez renewed calls for a highly demanding matchup against Canelo Alvarez. This pursuit has been on his radar since 2021.
While discussions circulate around potential future fights for Benavidez against light heavyweight giants like Dmitry Bivol or Artur Betervieb by late 2026 or early 2027, fans eagerly await confirmation of their boxing dreams coming true.
