  • Inside Boxing | David Benavidez destroys Zurdo Ramirez; Dmitry Bivol or Jai Opetaia next?
    May 4 2026

    Dan Canobbio and Chris Algieri open the show reacting to David Benavidez’s unreal knockout of Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez to capture the unified cruiserweight championship (03:58).

    With the win, Benavidez stamped himself as one of the bonafide stars of the sport and could carry the 'Face of Boxing' moniker. Could Dmitry Bivol, Jai Opetaia, or even a run at heavyweight be next (22:00)?

    The undercard delivered as well with four scintillating fights, from Jaime Munguia’s win over Armando Resendiz, to an all out brawl between Ismael Flores and Isaac Lucero. Oscar Duarte had an up-and-down performance vs. Angel Fierro as well (46:31).
