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.
David Benavidez gets back on track by stopping Ronald Ellis
FOR all his pronouncements about reaping the spoils of boxing,
David Benavidez has a curious relationship to success.
There was that time, in 2018, when his dalliance with a certain powdery white friend briefly derailed his white-hot career and saw him get stripped of his WBC super-middleweight title. Then Benavidez rebounded, swore he was a reformed man, and, in no time, the Arizonan reclaimed his old belt.
But then last August came around and, almost like clockwork, he was stripped of his title again, this time on the scales by coming in nearly three pounds over the limit ahead of his eventual 10th-round stoppage of Roamer Angulo.
