Photos: Benavidez weighs in more than 3 pounds under limit for Zurdo bout

David Benavidez and Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez successfully weighed in and faced off ahead of their Mexico vs Mexico showdown on May 2, live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Both fighters made the required 200-pound weight limit, making it official for the unified WBA and WBO titles. The contest headlines PBC PPV on Prime Video, during Cinco de Mayo weekend.

Benavidez (31-0, 25 KOs) came in at 196.8 lbs, which is 22.5 lbs more than what he weighed for his previous bout against Anthony Yarde last November, and 3.2 lbs less than the 200-pound limit. Going up against Ramirez, the Phoenix two-division world champion looks to become a champion in his third weight class.
Mexico’s two-weight champion Zurdo Ramirez (48-1, 30 KOs) tipped the scales at 200 lbs for the second defense of his unified belts.

In the co-feature, Armando Resendiz (16-2, 11 KOs) weighed in at 167 lbs for his WBA 168-pound championship defense against fellow Mexican Jaime Munguia (45-2, 35 KOs). Former champion Munguia registered 167.4 lbs for his latest attempt to win a title in his second weight class.

On the undercard, Oscar Duarte (30-2-1, 23 KOs) weighed 139.8 lbs for his all-Mexican clash with Angel Fierro (23-4-2, 18 KOs). Lucero missed the 140-pound limit, coming in at 143.4 lbs.

Mexican-born, San Diego-based Jorge Chavez (15-0-1, 8 KOs) and Jose “Tito” Sanchez (15-0, 9 KOs) of Rancho Mirage, CA, weighed 122 lbs and 121.2 lbs, respectively.

Among the prelims, Las Vegas-native Dylan Capetillo (1-0, 1 KO) weighed 136.2 lbs for his bout against Omaha’s James William Pierce, who was 134.8 lbs. Pierce replaced Martin Caraballo.
