Benavidez vs Ramirez Weigh-In Results: “Get Your Popcorn Ready” as Both Make Weight in Las Vegas
The talking is nearly done in Las Vegas. The scales are cleared, the weights are in, and now it’s just about who shows up when it matters.
Saturday’s card at the T-Mobile Arena is locked in, headlined by David Benavidez and Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez — and based on the weigh-in, both men look ready to deliver exactly what they’ve been promising.
Main Event Weigh-In
David Benavidez (196.8) vs Gilberto Ramirez (200)
Ramirez came in right on the cruiserweight limit at 200, looking composed as ever. No drama, no wasted energy — just a quiet confidence. He kept it simple, saying he’s ready for whatever Benavidez brings.
Benavidez, a touch lighter at 196.8, brought the energy to the stage. He looked dialled in and sounded full of confidence, telling fans to get their popcorn ready because “this is about to be a movie,” while backing it up by promising the best performance of his career. It didn’t feel like talk either — he genuinely believes this is his moment.
Styles aside, the size difference is real — but Benavidez doesn’t seem bothered. If anything, he looks like he’s itching to prove something.
Co-Main Event
Jaime Munguia (167.4) vs Jose Armando Resendiz (167)
Munguia looked relaxed but focused, calling it a dream moment and making it clear he’s aiming for a knockout. That’s pretty much what you expect from him at this point.
Resendiz kept it grounded — fight for his family, give everything, and let it turn into a war if it has to. That usually means one thing with Munguia involved… action.
Other Key Fights
Oscar Duarte Jurado (139.8) vs Angel Daniel Fierro Barrera (143.4)
Fierro missed weight, coming in heavy at 143.4, and apologised straight away. He still promised to put on a show, but it’s not ideal heading into a fight like this.
Duarte didn’t seem fazed at all — if anything, he looked fired up and ready to go regardless.
Jorge Chavez (122) vs Jose Tito Sanchez (121.2)
There’s a bit of history here. Chavez made it clear he hasn’t forgotten losing to Sanchez in the amateurs and has been waiting a long time for this chance. Sanchez, for his part, just said he’s ready to give the fans what they want.
Isaac Lucero (155.6) vs Ismael Flores (155.2)
Flores sounded confident, saying this won’t be the last people see of him — and that he’s leaving with the win. Lucero matched that energy, talking about the journey and promising to prove he belongs at this level.
Daniel Blancas (166.8) vs Raul Isaias Salomon Pantoja (167.4)
Both men made weight without fuss here. Quiet face-off, but these are the kind that sometimes surprise you once the bell goes.
Undercard Weigh-In Notes
Juan Carrillo (177.4) vs Marlon Delgado (177.6) — Nothing between them on the scales, looks well matched.
Dylan Capetillo (136.2) vs James William Pierce III (134.8) — Both made weight comfortably, ready to get things going early.
Final Word
No late drama, no pull-outs — just one miss on the scales and a lot of confident talk.
Benavidez vs Ramirez feels properly set now. One man stepping up, the other settled at the weight. Someone’s getting answered tomorrow night.
