Super Middleweight Showdown
It has been officially announced! Two of the most avoided boxers in the game today, Interim WBC Super Middleweight Champion David Benavidez (27-0, 23 Kos) and undefeated challenger Demetrius Andrade (32-0, 19 Kos) have now signed the contract to meet on November 25, 2023, at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The fight will also air on Showtime PPV.
This is a very intriguing bout where we have a 2008 U.S. Olympian in Andrade, a two Division Champion now moving up to his third Division and his second bout in the Super Middleweight Division putting his skills to work against the “Mexican Monster” David Benavidez who is the man to beat in the Division, in order to get a chance to face the “Kingpin” Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez.
Although Benavidez is the younger warrior of the two combatants, this bout is a crossroads bout where both combatants need the win at all costs. Andrade, at 35 years old needs to get through these types of big fights now because the light at the end of the tunnel is getting dimmer by the year but, skill for skill your Boy Demetrius still got the goods to get the job done.
As Benavidez as young may be his size alone clearly lets you know that he should have moved up to the Light Heavyweight Division. Your Boy is “Big” for the Super Middleweight Division but size aside, he delivers every time inside that squared circle. His hand speed and power are real and that nonstop pressure he comes with inside that squared circle usually breaks most opponents down but I’m anticipating that Andrade might have the right style to offset the “Mexican Monster” from unleashing his deadly wrath, which he is well known for.
That being said, I expect an action type matchup and the last man still standing on Saturday night November 25, 2023, at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas live on Showtime PPV, will have secured his ticket at a chance to dethrone the “Kingpin” Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez.
