David Benavidez will need to patiently bide his time in his bid for big fights at Super Middleweight, and he marked time on Saturday night with an eleventh round stoppage of Ronald Ellis in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Benavidez (24-0, 21 KOs) lost his WBC title on the scales last time out, had no problems making weight and is on a mission to meet the big hitters of the 168 pound division, with meetings with the likes of unified WBA ‘Super’ and WBC champion, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, IBF titbits, Caleb Plant, and Jermall Charlo, the WBC Middleweight holder all mentioned.
