David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade live results and analysis

Former super middleweight champion David Benavidez will face two-division champion Demetrius Andrade on Saturday night at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, with a potential fight against undisputed 168-pound champion Canelo Alvarez on the line.

Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs), 26, is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Caleb Plant in March. He has won seven of his last 10 fights by stoppage. Benavidez has been looking for a mega fight against Alvarez, and a win on Saturday could be just what he needs. But Benavidez doesn’t take Andrade lightly.

“He’s not an easy opponent. He’s very technical,” Benavidez said at a news conference Tuesday in Los Angeles. “He’s got a really good defense. But I always find a way to win…I’m going to find a way to beat him.”

Andrade (32-0, 19 KOs), 35, has never fought an elite fighter like Benavidez. His best wins are against Maciej Sulecki in 2019 and Liam Williams in 2021. He has been inactive of late, with this fight being only his second in the last two years.

“I fought every style possible today,” Andrade said during a recent training session in San Carlos, California. “I just have to go out there and find his weakness and figure out what’s going to work.

“I don’t really know his strengths until I get there, but looking at him, he likes to overwhelm his opponents. That’s really all I see. … I’m going to expose his weaknesses.”
