DEMETRIUS ANDRADE “IM GOING TO EXPOSE BENAVIDEZ”

Demetrius Andrade, an undefeated titleholder in two weight divisions, engaged in a media workout in the Bay Area ahead of his much-anticipated bout with David Benavídez, The Ring's top-rated super middleweight. This clash takes center stage on a Showtime PPV set for November 25 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, kicking off at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The 2008 U.S. Olympian, Andrade, aims for a defining victory in his already illustrious career, and the anticipation is building. Sharing his thoughts on Friday, he expressed, "I possess a range of strengths. With my athletic ability and thorough preparation, I can take on anyone. This camp has been exceptional—we've navigated through challenges and done everything necessary for victory in this matchup."

Having encountered various different styles in the ring, Andrade remains confident, saying, "I've fought every style out there. I just need to assess his weaknesses and determine what will work. Stepping forward with my best foot, I expect David to do the same, even though his footwork isn't as sharp as mine. We'll have some fun in there."

The significance of this bout isn't lost on Andrade, who commented, "I've waited my entire career for this. With what we both bring to the table, it's going to be a great fight. I don't fully know his strengths until we're in there, but from my observations, he likes to overwhelm his opponents. On November 25, tune in, and I'm going to expose his weaknesses. This is the best against the best—a moment that makes perfect sense right now."

Andrade's southpaw skills, mixed with his slick style and potent punches, position him as a formidable opponent for WBC interim super middleweight champion Benavidez. As the best adversary in Benavidez's career, Andrade presents the possibility of an upset on November 25th. Limited experience could be a vulnerability for Benavidez, and Andrade aims to exploit it by neutralizing his offense and outboxing him for a decisive win.

While Benavidez is known for his forward-charging approach and overwhelming power, Andrade recognizes, "He's not the most athletic fighter out there, and I'm not the only one saying that. He's an inch or two taller than me, but it's not that much different. People perceive him as a big guy, but I'm also a big guy." The intrigue builds as both fighters prepare to step into the ring for what promises to be a compelling showdown.
