Super middleweight championship eliminator. Benavídez is ranked WBC number one and WBA number three, and Ellis is number eight and eleven respectively in either org.
I like Benavidez, but how the **** does the WBC keep ranking this guy after he was stripped not once but twice?! The only interest this mismatch has is to determine whether Benavidez can stop Ellis faster than Beterbiev stops Deines the following week.
Benavidez barrels through this fraud, and stops him in 5, it all depends on how durable Ellis is. He was losing every round in a one sided nature to Korobov, who sadly is too frail to make it to the sixth round anymore. Although judging by the biased Showtime commentators, they were shilling like mother****ers for Ellis, lubing everyone up for the incoming robbery. Well, I guess Haymon saw the writing on the wall, in just how badly Ellis really does suck, so he's throwing him to the wolves, and the biggest baddest of them all. La Bandera Roja bulldozes him.
Korobov can only lose via robbery, his body falling apart or an Andy Lee right hook badly stunning him.
