David Benavidez vs Demetrius Andrade Nov. 24th

Looks like it's a done deal for Benavidez 27-0 (23) and Andrade 32-0 (17) to square off in Las Vegas for the wbc 168 'interim' strap on Showtime ppv. Not thrilled about the ppv part but this division is long overdue to see these top names sort it out. Interesting timing as it's a Friday night card in the States the day after Thanksgiving in the in what many

have already determined will be a long holiday weekend. Really like the style mash up and early on, picking Benavidez to grind him down late rounds. Let's have it!

About time Andrade did something(to he fair he was set to fight saunders I think before a failed drug test), unfortunately I don't think he's that good and will get beaten up but at least he's fighting proper guys for titles now.

david b ran from david morrell. demetrius has the style to cause david b problems but at thirty five he might have left it too late

Good to see two undefeated contenders taking on one another putting more pressure on Canelo to face the winner.

The fact that it is PPV is normal now which is sad for boxing.

Can someone please explain in layman's terms what an "interim belt" is?? Been a boxing fan for many years, but have never fully understood the intricacies of these belt designations. Especially with the WBC. Odd that it would be for ANY kind of WBC 168 belt, since Canelo is WBC's love child, and 168 is his division. Which of course only adds to the confusion. Not that belts mean much anymore. That train left the station a long time ago.

On the fight itself, might as well. Might as well have someone fight legitimate fights at 168 while Canelo goes prancing off, looking for more undisputed, undersized meat. Oh... and please spare me the "Charlo is taller than Canelo" pictures. Charlo knocks out about half his opponents at 154 (not a great knockout rate)... and now he's facing a wannabe cruiserweight with a granite chin. Pleeeese.... Canelo can wade in with his hands down with no danger of getting buzzed. Did anyone else notice the difference in muscle mass at the faceoff? Canelo looks massive next to Charlo. Anything less than a TKO win for Canelo should be considered a moral loss.

Benavidez vs Andrade should be an excellent fight.
