David Benavidez, a former two-time world champion, maintained his perfect record in the ring with an 11th-round technical knockout victory over seasoned veteran Ronald Ellis in the main event of the WBC Super Middleweight Title Eliminator on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. The live event, part of a Premier Boxing Champions showcase, unfolded at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

Hailing from Phoenix, Benavidez showcased exceptional hand speed, precision, and power, dominating Ellis from Lynn, Mass., over 11 rounds. Referee Johnny Callas halted the bout at 2:03 of the penultimate round, with Benavidez comfortably ahead on all three scorecards (99-91, 98-92 x2). The 24-year-old expressed satisfaction with his performance, recognizing Ellis's toughness and pledging to entertain the fans.

As the youngest super middleweight world champion in history and a boxing prodigy, Benavidez's prowess was evident in his punch statistics. He connected on 289 of 532 power punches, boasting a remarkable 54% connection rate. Benavidez's dominance peaked in the 11th round, where he landed 50 punches leading to the stoppage. The total punches thrown between both fighters amounted to 1,403. With this win, Benavidez moves closer to reclaiming a super middleweight world title.

Looking ahead, Benavidez expressed his ambitions to face top-tier opponents such as Jermall Charlo, Canelo Alvarez, and Caleb Plant, emphasizing his love for aggressive fighting and securing stoppages. Meanwhile, Ellis, 31, demonstrated unwavering determination and resilience throughout the match, landing 89 of 334 jabs.

The sports world mourned the passing of an icon, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, whose death was reported just hours before the live telecast. A member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Hagler, 66, headlined the inaugural main event on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING on March 10, 1986. The event paid tribute to Hagler with a ceremonial 10-count before the main event, honoring his significant contributions to the sport.
