David Benavidez vs. Zurdo Ramirez – results and post-fight report
David Benavidez delivered a career-defining performance in Las Vegas, defeating “Zurdo” Ramirez.
Benavidez fought “Zurdo” in the cruiserweight division at T-Mobile Arena.
From the first round it was clear that “Mexican Monster” he operated on a different level than his man.
Most of the fight was non-stop, with neither fighter backing down and instead choosing to fight in the pocket.
Benavidez injured Ramirez after a tackle at the end of the second round.

This set the pace for the remaining rounds. Benavidez hurt “Zurdo” again in the third period, and he responded well, but it was obvious that the defending champion wasn’t able to take much more of the punches that he had earlier in the fight.
In the fourth round, Ramirez was forced to kneel for the first time in 15 years, and Benavidez finished the round in style.
The fight will end in the sixth round, and Benavidez will perform a crazy combination that will leave Ramirez lying on the floor and holding his eye. The master couldn’t count.
After the victory, Benavidez challenged Canelo Alvarez.

Munguia picked up an all-important win in the co-main against the tough Resendiz.

Topping the Matchroom-promoted bill at Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall, Conah Walker won a thriller over Sam Eggington, overcoming a fierce start to record a pulsating tenth-round stoppage victory in a super welterweight fight taking place across the Midlands.
Walker vs Eggington didn’t disappoint either for as long as it lasted.
After losing a close decision to future world champion Lewis Crocker in June 2024, Walker (18-3-1, KO9) was in good company with four wins on the spin, overtaking Lewis Ritson and then early wins over Harry Scarff (TKO11), Liam Taylor (KO7) and Pat McCormack, winning the British and Commonwealth belts along the way.
Eggington (36-10, KO20) has returned from a career full of exhilarating and hard-fought fights, and after a defeat in the fight for the vacant European crown in March and an absorbing points defeat to Abass Baraou, he has since won twice, the last of which was a technical victory over Lee Cutler in April last year.

Eggington started well in the first round before the two went to war in the second frame.
Eggington set a blistering pace and couldn’t miss an uppercut in the fourth set as he fired several shots that troubled Walker repeatedly.
Eggington was content to throw off the ropes and continued to hit firm shots, although Walker used his head to good effect overdue in the fifth quarter, cautioned by the referee and causing his opponent to bleed into his eye
This gave Walker a foothold and he lunged forward to beat an absorbing six, but Eggington came back until Walker’s tide-changing right hook to the body clearly hurt his man, and after a sustained attack, Walker found the breakthrough, a left to the body dropping Eggington.
Eggington managed to get out of the round but his tank was empty and the tenth was the end when a teasing right hand pinned Eggington against the ropes and the referee jumped in at the perfect time to save Eggington from sedate punishment.
Bilal Fawaz vs. Ryan Kelly fight
Bilal Fawaz (12-1-1, KO4) defended his British and Commonwealth super welterweight titles for the first time, defeating Ryan Kelly (20-7-1, KO8), ultimately forcing Kelly’s corner to withdraw the fighter after nine rounds.
After a steady start, Fawaz buzzed Kelly in the fourth period and repeated the trick in the fifth before the pair faced each other. Fawaz took control and Kelly couldn’t handle his volume and power.
Eventually his corner had seen enough and pulled his man from the battle before round ten.
Undercard remaining
Shannon Ryan (11-1, KO2) scored four wins in one round and impressively added the vacant Commonwealth title to her IBF Intercontintal belt after a ruthless second-round victory over former Commonwealth flyweight champion Nicola Hopewell (8-2, KO1).
Ryan flattened Hopewell with a right hand, and Hopewell’s corner wisely threw in the towel towards the referee midway through the count.
Another person to shine on the list was Tiah Mai Ayton (6-0, KO5), who continued her impressive start to professional life by defeating Stevie Levy (15-5, KO2) en route to the fourth round of their featherweight clash.
Junaid Bostan (11-1-1, KO8) returned to the fight after two fights with the above-mentioned Bilal Fawaz and in his super welterweight fight with Mohammed Graich (12-5-1, KO6) he won every eighth round.
In a four-round fight, super featherweight newcomer Louie Ward (2-0, KO1) scored against Jesus Carrasco (2-4-2, KO0), while newcomer Harley Burrows (1-0, KO0) defeated Lewis Howells (3-8, KO0) in the second round to record a 40-35 victory.

The official record holder
Naoya Inoue successfully defended his undisputed super bantamweight crown in Tokyo, Japan, defeating Junto Nakatani.
All three judges scored Inoue’s goal in the win against Nakatani being there and achieving his best victories.
The undisputed champion performed in front of 55,000 spectators in a moment that made his hair stand on end. Backed by a violinist and rock music, “The Monster” looked like a man on a mission as he entered the ring.
In the first two rounds, both men felt each other out and the threat of the pair was obvious to all.
Both Inoue and “Gigantic Bang” missed power shots by several inches.
“The Monster” had a robust third round, showing real precision in his shots.
Things started to turn around in the 7th round after a few good rounds from Inoue, and the 28-year-old started to really make an impression.

He had complete control in the 10th round and dominated the “Gigantic Bang”, something few, if anyone, have ever achieved.
Nakatani suffered a nasty cut slow in the round, but after a quick look from the doctor, he was allowed to continue playing.
This cut unfortunately looked to really hinder the 28-year-old as the champion once again turned the tide in the 11th round and had his best round of the fight to date.
The pace returned for Inoue, who began to find his rhythm in the championship rounds.

He had a convincing final round and it was the last two that probably did enough to facilitate him retain his titles.
Yoshiki Takei vs. Chris Medina
The co-main event saw Yoshiki Takei get back to winning ways after a recent loss to Chris Medina.
Takei has held the WBO bantamweight crown since 2024 when he dethroned Jason Moloney.
He picked up a disappointing points victory over DeKang Wang over eight rounds.
Takei started boxing on the back foot in the first round, and Wang looked good from the start.

The third round was probably the hardest in the fight for Wang, who changed the fate of the fight and fired a series of shots at Takei, who was pinned in the corner.
Takei was the more competent player throughout the competition and that precision began to pay off in the final stages. At times it looked like he was on the verge of stopping Wang, who did really well to survive until the final bell.
The three judges’ scorecards read 77-75, 78-74 and 76-76.
