Two-time super middleweight world champion, David ‘Red Flag’ Benavidez, defeated American “Reckless” Ronald Ellis by technical knockout in the eleventh round in a World Boxing Council elimination match this Saturday at the “Mohegan Sun Arena” in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The fight was tough for Benavidez (24-0, 21 KOs), who had to work hard against a very strong and grimly determined Ronald Ellis (18-2-2, 12 KOs).

David kept focused and used his height and reach advantages to maintain the pressure, which slowly but surely told. By round 11, the Referee stopped the fight determining that Ellis had already received more than enough punishment.

The World Boxing Council praises David Benavidez and Ronald Ellis for their professionalism in both weighing in a one hundred and sixty seven and a quarter pounds for their WBC Title Elimination fight, scheduled for Saturday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville Connecticut.

Undefeated David who`s still only twenty four years old (23-0, 20 KO`s)  is seeking to earn an opportunity to win the title for the third time,  while Ronald (18-1-2, 12 KO`s) who`s only lost once via a majority decision.

David lost The WBC Super Middle weight title on the scales,  although he stopped Roamer Alexis Angulo. He blamed himself,  saying that during the pandemic, he had not been able to lose weight the same way as normal or to maintain this with a few saunas.  David vowed that he would never miss the weight again,  and he has been as good as his word.

David “Red Flag” Benavidez turned pro at just sixteen, and became the youngest ever super middleweight champion in history, aged just nineteen years and nine months, by winning the vacant WBC Green and Gold belt, defeating Ronald Gavril by a MD.  He successfully defended the title by again defeating Gavril, and then stopped J`leon love. He was stripped of the title and suspended after a violation of the clean boxing program.

David unreservedly apologized for this youthful indiscretion, accepted and completed counselling and fought back to win back the title by stopping and defeating Anthony Dirrell.

David wants to earn the title challenge to fight WBC super middleweight champion and superstar Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, who`s considered the best  pound for pound fighter in the World.  David is trained by his Dad Jose and Team Benavidez, which has already helped him to become WBC champion twice!   David`s KO ratio is a staggering 86.96%!

Benavidez vs Ellis semi-final elimination  fight will be aired tonight by Showtime promoted by TGB Promotions / PBC.

Two-time WBC super middleweight world champion, David ‘Red Flag’ Benavidez, fights Ronald Ellis, in a World Boxing Council elimination match on Saturday, at the “Mohegan Sun Arena” in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The last time Benavidez (23-0, 20 KOs) stepped into the ring was on August 15, when he defeated Colombian Roamer Alexis Angulo by knockout, in a duel where he lost his title on the scale.

Benavidez, of Phoenix, Arizona, turned pro at 16 and captured his first world title at 20, becoming the youngest 168-pound world champion in history.

Now Benavidez is looking to earn another super middleweight title shot.

Ronald Ellis (18-1-2, 12 KOs), who has lost only once in his career, a 10-round majority decision to DeAndre Ware (13-3-2, 8 KOs) in 2019, will come into the fight after defeating Matt Korobov (28-4-1, 14 KOs), by technical knockout, last December.

Ellis, 31, has been calling for the biggest fights at 160 and 168 pounds, and has landed the toughest challenge of his professional career against Benavidez. Ellis just won a victory over three-time world title challenger Matt Korobov, who was forced to retire due to injury during their December fight.
