David Benavidez easily makes weight, set for Showtime main event This will be his first appearance since coming in heavy against Roamer Alexis Angulo Share this story Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images Opponent Ronald Ellis, who had some scale issues of his own last year when he attempted to move to middleweight, came in at the same weight. Top lightweight contender Isaac Cruz (134 lbs.) and late-notice foe Matias Romero (134.8 lbs.) had no issues, and neither did openers Jamontay Clark (154.6 lbs.) and Terrell Gausha (154.4 lbs.). Benavidez (23-0, 20 KO) infamously came in well over the limit for a planned WBC title defense against Roamer Alexis Angulo in August 2020, becoming one of very few modern boxers to lose the same belt twice for different out-of-ring reasons. He’s still likely bound for light heavyweight sooner rather than later, but for now, he remains a genuine super middleweight.
