The unbeaten pugilist, David Benavidez, often billed as ‘invincible, will be the favorite against Ronald Ellis in their upcoming battle on March 13. While boxing seems to be a very unpredictable sport, analysts often compare the stats to preview a fight.

That said, Ellis’s 17-1-2 record might look short in front of Benavidez’s 23-0. However, Ronald Ellis seems confident of landing an upset and has recently responded to Benavidez’s pre-fight statements.

Benavidez has vowed to knockout Ellis when they collide in-ring, but the 31-year-old isn’t intimidated. Moreover, he has mocked Benavidez in a clip and has shed light on his own prowess.

The intriguing contest might see a quick run as both the boxers are heavy-handed and have acute sharp shots. Meanwhile, things can look different if it goes the distance. As both the boxers seem confident and have had their full camps, they will seemingly bring in their best game.

In such a state, the man to take the bigger shots and land clean will depart with the win. But Benavidez will put a lot of things at risk. Apart from his undefeated record and stardom, a mega-fight with Canelo Alvarez is also on the line.
