Benavidez brings a 31-0 record with 25 knockouts into the bout. Ramirez arrives at 48-1 with 30 knockouts and the champion’s edge after telling the buildup, “I’m the champ,” and, “I just train hard to prove myself and prepare to be still champion.”

Benavidez answered with his own line before the fight, saying, “It’s time to go to war,” and adding, “When I see the fire, I put myself in the fire to get the best version out of myself, and I’m not scared of nobody.” Those words fit the stakes on a Cinco de Mayo weekend card that puts two titleholders in the same ring.

The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET, and the headliner is expected around 11:15 p.m. ET depending on how long the undercard fights last. Viewers can watch the event on DAZN worldwide, and it will also air on Amazon Prime.

That combination leaves the title fight with a clear edge for the reader planning around it: two experienced champions, two proven finishers, and one chance for Benavidez to add a third weight class to his résumé in Las Vegas.
