David Benavidez Stops Gilberto Ramirez in Round 6 to Claim Cruiserweight Title

David Benavidez didn’t just win — he tore through Gilberto Ramirez and made it look like he’d been waiting all night to do it. Big stage in Las Vegas, big moment, and he absolutely took it. Elsewhere, there was a proper split-decision scrap in the co-main, a few clear statements on the undercard, and one or two fights that didn’t go how people expected.

Main Event

David Benavidez (32-0-0) smashed Gilberto Ramirez (48-2-0) by KO in round 6 to take the WBO World Cruiserweight title.

This got one-sided quick. Benavidez had Ramirez down in the fourth, then again in the sixth, and by the time the finish came at 2:59 of the round it felt inevitable. The scorecards (50-44, 49-45, 49-45) already told the story — Ramirez was getting broken down piece by piece.

Proper statement win. Not just a victory — a takeover.

Co-Main Event

Oscar Duarte (31-2-1) edged Angel Fierro (23-5-2) by split decision over 12 rounds to claim the WBC Silver and WBO NABO Super Lightweight titles.

Close fight, no question. One judge had it wide the other way (116-112 Fierro), but Duarte nicked it on the other two cards (115-113, 116-112). Bit messy at times, but competitive all the way through — the kind of fight where neither man really lost stock.

Other Title Fights

Ismael Flores (18-1-1) outpointed Isaac Lucero (18-1-0) by unanimous decision over 10 rounds to win the WBO NABO Super Welter title.

Clear win on the cards — 98-92, 99-91, 98-92. Lucero came in unbeaten but couldn’t get going here. Solid, controlled performance from Flores.

Daniel Blancas (15-0-0) handled Raul Salomon (16-4-1) by unanimous decision over 10 rounds to take the WBC USA Super Middle title.

No drama in the scoring — 100-90, 99-91, 99-91. Blancas just did what he needed to do and kept it clean from start to finish.

Non-Title Undercard

Jaime Munguia (46-2-0) outpointed Armando Resendiz (16-3-0) over 12 rounds by unanimous decision.

Wide cards — 120-108, 119-109, 117-111. No controversy here. Munguia in control the whole way.

Jose Tito Sanchez (16-0-0) stopped Jorge Chavez (15-1-1) by TKO in round 10.

Chavez hit the canvas twice in the final round before it was waved off at 2:30. Competitive early, but Sanchez closed the show strong.

Petr Khamukov (14-1-0) beat Bernard Joseph (12-4-1) by unanimous decision over 10 rounds.

Did the job without fuss. Nothing wild, just rounds in the bank.

Juan Carrillo (15-0-0) knocked out Marlon Delgado (8-1-0) in round 4.

Ended at 2:59 of the round — Carrillo didn’t hang about once he had Delgado hurt.

Julio Ocampo Hernandez (9-0-1) and Carlos Lewis (5-1-1) fought to a split decision draw over 6 rounds.

One each and one even (58-56, 56-58, 57-57). Fair result — neither really separated themselves.

Javier Meza (6-0-0) stopped Damonte Smith (3-1-0) by TKO in round 5.

Stepped it up late and got him out of there. Good finish.

Jordan Palacios (debut) faced Sean Waugh (1-0-0) over 4 rounds.

No official result recorded.

Dylan Capetillo (2-0-0) beat James Pierce (2-1-0) by unanimous decision over 4 rounds.

All three judges had it 39-37 — tidy, consistent work.

Closing

All eyes were on the main event and Benavidez delivered in a big way. The rest of the card had its moments, but that knockout is the one people will be talking about.
