‘I expect to stop him’: David Benavidez aiming to expose Andrade’s weaknesses
David Benavidez believes he will knock out Demetrius Andrade.
David Benavidez is aiming to knock out Demetrius Andrade when the two meet in what will be the final Showtime pay-per-view main event on Nov. 25, where Benavidez will defend his WBC interim super middleweight title.
“I do expect to stop Andrade. I’ve been working extremely hard,” Benavidez (27-0, 23 KO) said at a media workout on Friday.
“My last fight went the distance and I was upset about that. We’re gonna correct the current and stop Demetrius Andrade.”
Benavidez’s last fight, of course, was his career-best win over Caleb Plant on Mar. 25, where he did do plenty of damage but didn’t get Plant out inside the distance.
The 26-year-old Arizona native also isn’t overlooking Andrade (32-0, 19 KO) as a threat, and says he’ll be ready for whatever comes on fight night.
“I’m preparing myself for the hardest possible fight. That’s how I always prepare. I’ve been training three months and sparring 15 rounds at a time. I’m 100 percent ready to go.
“There are a lot of things Andrade does well, but I see weaknesses as well. We’re gonna put a great game plan together and expose him.”
