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.

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."
The man has arrived. No more BS and its odd how Canelo finds himself in a bit of a corner now. Any talk of Bud or any other 147-154 is comical. And now it's Canelo getting older and Benavidez 10 years his junior. Longer he waits the worse it gets. Sounds like it could possibly be Munguia for Canelo next out. Hey if you won't fight the most threatening "Mexican" at least he's fighting the biggest can collector. Nelo gonna Nelo.
Benavidez did what he was supposed to do
Most felt it was a forgone conclusion & Benavidez dealt with him as he should have, if he wanted to live up to the Mexican/Ecuadorian/American Monster moniker that has been bestowed upon him
Matias bludgeoned another opponent into quitting
Roach fought well & deserved the victory but Garcia look far from the fighter who upset Colbert last year
'Mall looked good after so long out but they couldn't have picked a better opponent for the facade, feed him to Plant
Gatta give props to Andrade for chasing a big fight.... even though he came up short, he still made a meaningful fight when others simply kept walking away. He had to move up in weight to get it, which makes him even more of a class act and a champion in my eyes.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!
