You own the pen

We are all speculating but so far every opponent that faces Benavidez is not only beaten but Benavidez tortured them all, he breaks them all down by systematic beating until his opponent gives up, or gets stopped, they only have each other standing in their way on who deserves to be called Mexican's best boxer in the present generation and most probably become the number one in the Ring magazine.
If they finally face it will be a very big event and everything will be at stake in that fight because the fight is long overdue.

In the earlier rounds, I thought Andrade was gonna be the upper hand but everything changed when he started to get slower because of taking too much damage from Benavidez until he could no longer keep up and his corner just wanted to stop it for his own good. They made the right decision because there was no need for further punishment and some hard beatings, everything was clear, and obviously, the end result would have been scarier if they hadn't stepped up and stopped the fight.

And I think the style of Benavidez might give Canelo some problems early, as David is a pressure fighter.

Actually, this is what Canelo loves as well. Andrade doesn't possess the speed and power of Canelo, so I believe Benavidez might face challenges with his recklessness in the fight. If he still thinks he can knock out Canelo and becomes overly aggressive, he could put himself at risk of getting knocked out. I'm excited about this fight because it's long overdue, but I still see that Canelo has the edge due to his experience and ability to handle powerful punches without deteriorating in the fight.

Andrade has good lateral movement but he cannot keep up with the pressure, the matchup came as expected, Benavidez imposed his size and targeted the body to limit Andrade movement and it paid off, Andrade received too much punishment before his corner stopped the fight from the referee's recommendation.
After this fight Canelo should give Benavidez a chance to fight him, this is what the boxing community wants and this is the only way that he will cement his legacy as the greatest Mexican fighter, Benavidez is the only block to his road to glory and he should grant this or people will call him a coward.
There's no other fighter that can match Canelo's supremacy in the Super Middleweight only David Benavidez.

Yes, even though Benavidez is not the most skillful fighter or slick like most of the black American fighters, but he gets the job done with his relentless pressure and it's hard to stay away from that for the whole 12 rounds. Hopefully, the pressure that Canelo is getting from the boxing community, he will let his pride fight the young Benavidez. Two great wins by David now, and just destroying them.

So now that he won, Canelo should answer his critics now by approving a next fight with Benavidez, if not then fans will put all the blame on Canelo. Benavidez Sr though said that maybe Bivol or Beterviev could be next if no Canelo, that is also a interesting fight at 175 lbs. And obviously, David is chasing greatness if he fought and won against this 2 top Light Heavy Weight.

Yeah, Benavidez was relentless on his attack that's why Andrade quit on his stool. With this win, we could say that he is really ripe to fight Canelo Alvarez if the latter fights this risky one but i think that Canelo has other things in mind. He might fight the smaller Terrence Crawford as he was calling out his name for quite some time now and that is a very winnable fight for him and the amount of money he may receive is just the same hehe.

Congrats to all who bet for Benavidez to win by KO.

I think he is ready, in his last two fights, against Caleb Plant and now Andrade, David is really developing into another force in this division, he is huge at this weight class the way I see it that's why he just steam rolled everyone in this division. And so he is really ripe and we can also say that he is also deserving of a Canelo fight and the biggest pay check for him and his family. But still up to Canelo and his camp, if he is willing to give that to Benavidez, another Mexican. Although sometimes he just contradict himself, there are interviews that he says that he is open to fight anyone and that he is not afraid to face any boxer in his division. And I think the style of Benavidez might give Canelo some problems early, as David is a pressure fighter.

He's 100% ready; we witnessed his power in that fight. Although he doesn't showcase strong defensive skills, I'm impressed his confidence in securing a knockout win, prompting Andrade's camp to stop the fight.

I'm actually surprised that Andrade lasted six rounds despite enduring a considerable amount of punishment before the stoppage. It was an entertaining fight overall, and I must say, Canelo will face a tough challenge with Benavidez if that match materializes. Hopefully, they'll make it happen next year; we deserve to see that fight.

The latest update was the corner of Andrade stopped the fight, Andrade took a lot of beating and there was a warning coming from the referee that he would stop the fight if Andrade couldn't defend himself, now we are finally going to see a Benavidez - Canelo fight for an all Mexican great fight

An absolutely dominating performance by Benavidez. He might not be the most skillful fighter but the relentless pressure always breaks down his opponents. We are all expecting the Canelo fight to be next. Benavidez is still the mandatory and the next best fighter in the weight class. It is only logical that they would face each other. The fight has marinated for long enough. Even though Canelo is considered better I wonder how he is going to deal with the size and power of Benavidez. Canelo isn't a slick, defensive boxer so he is likely to receive punishment. People will favor him because of his résumé and talent but it is not a foregone conclusion that Canelo will prevail against this difficult challenge presented by Benavidez.

Yes, the corner of Andrade chooses to throw the towel because it was a mismatch, so to stop further damage, it was the right decision of the corner man/trainer. Again, he is taking to much in this fight and at 35 years old, it shows that his age in this fight.

Hopefully with this good performance of David, beating a great fighter in Andrade, the Canelo Alvarez will no longer hide on the excuses of not wanting to fight another Mexican. He should give DB his due now, he has been destroying everyone at this weight class. And being the champion, he should be allowing himself to be challenge by a young fighter and see if he still has it or if Canelo is on a decline.

However, Charlo came in overweight, 3.4 pounds against Benavidez Jr. This fight is at a catchweight of 163 pounds, and yet Charlo came in still close to the super middleweight at 166.4 pounds.

Not sure if this fight is going to continue, but there are talks that Charlo will have to pay Benavidez as penalty for going over the catchweight so that they can just proceed with the fight.

It is also reported that the weigh in was done behind close doors with no media around.

This is unprofessional behavior from a fighter who's been coddled by his promoter and the WBC who allowed him to keep his title despite not defending it in over two years. This was supposed to be a showcase that would lead to bigger fights. This will tarnish his image and makes it seem like he isn't serious about his career anymore.

The official weight-in is always behind closed doors and the ceremonial weigh-in is the one that is open to the public. It should be happening right now so we will see if there is any update on this situation.

I think it just shows that Charlo is not yet ready, mentally and physically to fight and perhaps he still has the problems inside of him. Or maybe after that long layoff of him, his body is no longer responding to 160 lbs as he can't make that weight and they know that, that's why they requested at a catch weight of 163 lbs. But still though, his body is really that big after 29 months of layoff and they can't squeeze his body.

So the fight could still proceed, Benavidez Jr, used to fight Crawford at 140 lbs and already a disadvantage because this is not his natural weight class. But I guess the penalty is enough for them and his father to let this fight go and let's see if he can really damage Charlo here.

I do agree, this is very unprofessional on the side of Charlo and his trainer, how then they let this one slip? Maybe we if this is just 1 lbs over then it might be cool, but more than 3 lbs? His trainers and handlers knows better, what's their reason? they uses and calibrated wrong scale? Sr says that's they will penalized Charlo $75,000 per pound that he is overweight.

So let's see who the fight will go, this is going to be heated from round 1. Jr says that he is going to "fuck up" Charlo real bad because he looks it as they intentionally going overweight in this fight.

Andradre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXZrS159-48
Media workout for me is not the best parameter to see how has the advantage, many boxers make it a light workout so the other camp will not see any strategy that they are going to employ.

So what do you guys think? Maybe we have seen the glimpse of their footwork and power, but obviously it will be different in the fight.

Benavidez looks flat footed, but once he caught Andrade, it might be over. As for Demetrius, he looks so bouncy so he has the advantage as far as movement goes and that southpaw stance might give Benavidez some problems.
Benavidez is really flatfooted he always is, he just overwhelmed his opponents with rapid punches and imposed his size he just kept moving forward throwing a barrage of punches I have seen him throw ten combinations and rapid punches his opponent, he loves a close fight, for a tall guy this is unusual but close or open fight he will always impose his size, he's been successful doing this and that what makes him very dangerous opponent, he loves to take so he can give his own, because he believes his power is unmatched.

Benavidez maybe flat-footed but his precision is crazy while Andrade may look agile but his defense suffers whenever he throws punches, unless Andrade fix that, Benavidez can easily render him unable to continue.

I'm not at all worried about Benavidez being a bit flat-footed. That's not necessarily something. It may just be a fighting style some boxers are most comfortable with. Canelo is flat-footed himself. But it's not something that's worrisome.

Indeed, Benavidez has a very solid defense. And he's always right there in front of you. Andrade's bouncy style could mean more space but it could also wear himself out against somebody who just doesn't stay away.

And it's not like Benavidez is just right there in front like a log, an easy target. Benavidez is a volume puncher. Being in front barely moving is like a bait. You hit him once, he'll hit you thrice. His being flat-footed is like an invitation to trade blows.

I have Benavidez winning by knock out

I am quite biased here since watching Benavidez fights and replaying them again and again simply amazed me.  It amazes me how precise Benavidez's punches are.  Andrade may have a powerful punches but once it can be absorbed by Benavidez without any issue, the precision of Benavidez's punch will give a problem to Andrade and may render him unable to continue since Andrade defense is the weakest when he is launching his punches.

If we look at the replays of Andrade; 's highlight punches, we can notice that his defense is non-existent every time he throws punches and that will be capitalized by Benavidez.
