Benavidez vs Ramirez Results: The Mexican Monster Makes History in Dominant Win

If David Benavidez was not already a top-five pound-for-pound boxer, he made that case almost undeniable with a dominant win over Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez.

Benavidez was a sizeable 4-1 favorite to beat Ramirez in his cruiserweight debut, but nobody expected the senseless beatdown he delivered in the ring. 'The Mexican Monster' became the first person to stop Ramirez by landing 151 of his 327 punches through six rounds, the most of any 'Zurdo' opponent.

Benavidez had Ramirez hurt early in the second round and landed a knockdown in the fourth. He hit the champion with another flurry combination late in round six, forcing Ramirez onto a knee again and wave the fight off due to his compromised right eye.

Benavidez improves to 32-0 as a professional and becomes the first fighter to win a world title at 168 pounds, 175 pounds and 200 pounds.

Ramirez falls to 48-2 with the loss, which was his first at cruiserweight. He is now 4-2 in his last six fights after beginning his professional career undefeated.

Ramirez was not the first champion to lose his title on the night. WBA super middleweight champion Armando Resendiz also relinquished his belt in the co-main event to Jaime Munguia, who claims his first 168-pound world title nearly seven years after the end of his light middleweight title reign.

Munguia got the job done by decision in a near-complete shutout of Resendiz. The Tijuana native has since joined forces with former opponent Canelo Alvarez, who was his biggest supporter in the fight from the ring side.

Munguia and Resendiz followed top 140-pound contender Oscar Duarte collect another win over Angel Fierro in the first high-profile bout of the night. Duarte landed a knockdown early, but was out-worked by the gritty Fierro late, causing many to question the split decision.

Nevertheless, Duarte is now the bona fide No. 1 super lightweight contender for any of the five belts. He was scheduled to challenge then-IBF 140-pound champion Richardson Hitchins before 'Africa' withdrew on fight night.
