Terence Crawford sums up David Benavidez’s performance after devastating Ramirez KO

David Benavidez defeated Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez by KO in Las Vegas on May 3, 2026, knocking him down in the fourth and sixth rounds before stopping him with a severely swollen eye. The 29-year-old Benavidez claimed the WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles in the process, becoming a three-weight world champion — marking Ramirez's first stoppage loss in a 50-fight career. Former pound-for-pound king Terence Crawford, who retired in late 2024 after beating Canelo Alvarez, praised Benavidez on social media following the historic performance.
