David Benavidez defeated Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez by sixth-round KO to win the WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles on Saturday night time at T-Cell Area in Las Vegas.
Benavidez (32-0, 26 KOs) grew to become a three-division champion and the primary fighter to win world titles at tremendous middleweight, mild heavyweight and cruiserweight. This was Benavidez’s first battle within the 200-pound division. He entered the battle following a dominant seventh-round TKO of Anthony Yarde in November.
