Here’s what Benavidez had to say post-fight:
“I love every single one of you. I’m very happy. Monster! Monster! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to support me. You guys are my engine to my motivation, so thank you so much.
“I knew I wasn’t going to be able to overpower him because it was my first time coming up to 200-lbs. So I knew I had to use the gifts that God gave me: speed, power, movement, punch selection and IQ. That’s exactly what I did.
“I just wanted to give him thanks for the opportunity. I love Zurdo Ramirez. You know, we came up together. We came up sparring together. I got him ready for his world championship fights. He got me ready for my world championship fights. So, I just want to say I love Zurdo Ramirez, but, you know, it is what it is in here. There’s only one Monster.
“I knew the combinations were going to be able to land easy. My combination punch selection is unlike anything.
“I don’t care who it is, man. Nobody can fuck with me.
“I feel good, man. I just want to give the fans what they want to see. I see Canelo is in the building. Let me just ask the fans this. Do you guys want to see Canelo versus David Benavidez? Enough said. That means we can’t leave that fight on the table. I have respect for Canelo. He’s a great champion. I’m a great champion, too. Let’s do it.
“I’m still champion at 175. I’m champion at 175 and 200. So, if they want to come get it at 175, let’s get it at 175.
“Bivol is the number one on my hit list. He’s a great competitor, great champion, but I’m a good champion, too. I just want to test myself every single fight.”
