Both David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade were former world titlists with exceedingly impressive records and an ability to make possible high end opponents turn the other way. The fact that they decided to fight each other made for an interesting scenario, as the power punching Benavidez was pitting his crushing shots against the slick, fluid skill set of Andrade.
In a thrilling match, David Benavidez emerged victorious against Demetrius Andrade. The undefeated Andrade started strong, landing jabs and holding his opponent when under attack.
