Overview
- The official weigh-in Friday recorded David Benavidez at 196.8 pounds and champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez at the 200-pound limit, clearing their Saturday main event at T-Mobile Arena.
- Benavidez is moving up to cruiserweight to try to become a three-division titleholder and the first to win world belts at 168, 175 and 200 pounds, while Ramirez defends his unified WBA and WBO crowns.
- The pay-per-view airs in the U.S. on DAZN and Amazon Prime Video for $79.99, with coverage beginning at 8 p.m. ET and main-event ring walks expected around 11:20–11:30 p.m. ET.
- Betting markets list Benavidez as a clear favorite, with widely reported moneyline odds in the -450 to -500 range heading into fight night.
- Both fighters point to years of shared sparring—Benavidez has cited roughly 300 rounds—as a factor that could shape tactics in a matchup built for the Cinco de Mayo stage.
