Key statistics from the fight:

• Benavidez improved his record to 32 wins and 0 losses, with 26 of those victories coming by knockout.
• Ramirez’s record now stands at 48 wins and 2 losses, with 30 knockouts.
• The fight took place at cruiserweight, where Benavidez moved up 25 pounds from his previous division.
• The knockout occurred in the sixth round, showcasing Benavidez’s striking power.

After the victory, Benavidez wasted no time calling out Canelo Alvarez. “I see Canelo in the building. Let me just ask the fans this. Do you guys want to see Canelo versus David Benavidez?” His ambition is clear; he even stated he is willing to return to 175 pounds for a shot at Alvarez.

However, not everyone was convinced about his performance. Boxing legend Mike Tyson expressed concern about Benavidez taking unnecessary shots during the bout. Yet, Benavidez himself downplayed any worries, saying, “At the end of the day, I was there because I didn’t really feel nothing. I didn’t feel no power. I felt like I took every punch pretty well.” His confidence shines through as he navigates this new chapter in his career.

Meanwhile, Jaime Munguia also had a significant victory on the same card, winning the WBA super middleweight title against Armando Resendiz. This highlights a night of triumph for rising stars in boxing.

As for what lies ahead for Benavidez, he aims to secure a fight with either Canelo Alvarez or Dmitry Bivol. Terence Crawford congratulated him on social media after the fight but announced his retirement in December 2025. This development makes a potential matchup between Crawford and Benavidez unlikely but keeps fans speculating about future bouts.
