Andrade claims LB and takes some time given by ref. Benavidez bulling him to ropes more. Andrade is needing to exchange. He's loose here. Some showy shots but Benavidez working him hard to body and bringing left hook now.

3-1 Benavidez...oh shit well down he goes! Right before bell Andrade is dropped off a clubbing right hand. Just an ugly right club by Benavidez, helluva replay.
Andrade throwing snowballs at a tank here. Fighting to survive. Like being mauled by a grizzly ffs. Benavidez looking for uppercuts and getting in bad! Andrade rocked mid 5th! Oh jebus Andrade takes a massive right bomb and falls in. Say what you want Boo Boo has some sac. Taking a beating but winging at bell.
Dr checking Andrade start of 6th and ref makes him walk side to side. Andrade loses mouthpiece. Like the way Benavidez pops the power jab off his shoulder. Thing is a hammer.
All Benavidez 6th Ref says show me something. Oh nice uppercut from Andrade but Benavidez walk thru. Andrade sags in and hold off another uppercut. Tough tough round for Andrade, ref is looking to stop this.
Going to be straight...don't like the way the ref lead and telegraphed that stoppage. Benavidez was pounding him like a nail no doubt. Matter of time sure. Just was odd. But anyway, Benavidez owned the night. The power the volume and he has underrated punch selection. Has gears on his combos. Man is a one man wrecking crew.
Ok Canelo. Balls in your court
David Benavidez set his sights on a super-middleweight title fight with undisputed champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez after demolishing Demetrius Andrade.
Benavidez, 26, blew away fellow American Andrade in six rounds in Las Vegas to win the interim WBC title and extend his unbeaten record to 28 bouts.
"I solidified myself as the dominant performer I am. Just give me the fight that we all wanna see," Benavidez said.
"Who wants to see me versus Canelo?"
He added: "I'm gonna be the super-middleweight champion of the world, three-time world champion."
Former middleweight and light-middleweight world champion Andrade, 35, had never lost in 32 fights.
However, on his second appearance at super-middleweight, he was outclassed and overpowered by the clinical Benavidez at the Michelob Ultra Arena.
Benavidez upped the ante in the fourth round and knocked Andrade down just before the bell.
Towards the end of the sixth, with Andrade hanging on, his corner threw in the towel.
Mexican Canelo, regarded by many as one of the greatest boxers of all time, defended his WBO, WBC, WBA and IBF belts against Jermell Charlo in September to take his record to 60 wins from 64 fights.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Damn straight!
I less then eagerly await whatever form of "Michael Jackson moonwalking/ backpedaling" Ginger's going to concoct now that Benavidez has made his statement.
Shit... I may even start a poll on possible excuses Ginger provides so as to not have to fight "El Monstruo Bandera Roja."
