It’s Top Rank? So should be Sky Sports.

There’s a thread over on the CS.

Excellent promo!

Writer Greg Bishop certainly knows how to sell a fight, not that this one needs much selling.

I admire Benavidez for his bravery in feeding a wildcat like that, and I'd also love to have Andrade's confidence and persona.

It's a real shame he's not better known publicly, he certainly deserves to be. He's got to be one of the nicest people in boxing.

Anyway, it's difficult to imagine bigger clash of styles than this.

This could be Tyson v Spinks or Foreman v Ali, who knows? It's certainly a big night for the Benavidez family.

Press Release | Jim Lampley extends stay with PPV.com for Benavidez vs Andrade

In response to overwhelming viewer demand and boffo reviews, PPV.COM announced today that it has extended its exclusive relationship with legendary boxing journalist and blow-by-blow announcer Jim Lampley through 2024.

Lampley, who ended his nearly five-year hiatus from boxing to work the Canelo Alvarez – Jermell Charlo World Super Middleweight Championship fight for PPV.COM, in September, will continue to co-host the service’s viewer chats in real time for the fights it will be live streaming and provide fight week on-site commentary, reports and original video content for PPV.COM’s website and social media platforms.

Lampley’s next event with PPV.COM will be the 12-round super middleweight battle of the undefeated between two-time super middleweight world champion David “El Monstruo” Benavidez and two-division world champion Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade, live from Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Saturday, Nov. 25, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. To order the fight through PPV.COM, click here: Benavidez vs. Andrade.

“Who knew it would be so much fun to provide live chat during big fights on PPV.COM? Lance Pugmire knew, and he told me so, and via that friendship a great new relationship arrived, Lampley said. “I’m delighted to be headed back to Las Vegas for Benavides vs Andrade, and looking forward to frequent PPV.com engagements going forward. Sharing with Lance, responding to fans, being in the ringside discussion — live chat rocks!!

“Jim Lampley is back at ringside right where he belongs and based on fan reaction at the Canelo-Charlo fight and from viewers who tuned in on PPV.COM, boxing is for the better for it. Jim is rarin’ to go for the upcoming David Benavidez – Demetrius Andrade fight where he will be chatting live from Mandalay Bay on Saturday, November 25,” said, Dale Hopkins, President and CEO of iDEMAND and PPV.COM.

Fight week!!

Is it too early to look forward to the weekend? I would convince my dad to order the fights when I was younger by talking about them all week long. Then by Saturday he would be enticed and order them on the remote control.

Only one thing is certain. There will be a high volume of punches thrown:

1. Until Benavidez finishes Andrade.
2. Andrade hurts badly or stops Benavidez.
3. It reaches a decision.

I've put a few quid on Andrade

Benavidez is almost priming.

Andrade elite level talent, charismatic persona, but worst career ever in relation to potential.

A sort of inverse Dillian Whyte !

I'm not sure how much the 2.5 year break is going to effect Charlo. Surely he'll be too much for Benavidez?

Andrade is obviously a talented boxer. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, he has spent his career getting nothing done while facing lower risk opponents. That does not mean that he can’t defeat Benavidez. The ONLY avenue is by way of hurting David relatively early, taking him out of his game.

The problem is that Andrade has never faced an opponent close to Benavidez level. David is in his prime and has faced FAR stiffer competition than the 35 year old Andrade.

Styles make fights, however, and Andrade is a very gifted and skilled boxer. We will find out a lot about both boxers in this one, more about Demitrius, no matter the result.

I have to go with the prime, tough, experienced Benavidez by late stoppage or UD.

Great stuff, I really like both of them but rooting for Andrade. Shame that once again they're not showing the fight in my country. And once again I have to wake up 4 am to look for some dodgy streams from the depths...

If Andrade loses, and I think he will (difficult beat father time), he's going to have to take a good hard look at how he's managed his career so far.

You don't have to have an all action style to make big money, but you do have remain undefeated and keep yourself in the spotlight.

Neither Tyson Fury, nor Floyd Mayweather had what could be called exciting styles, but they knew all about income streams.

It would be a pity to see such a genuinely talented nice guy like Andrade not make the most of his considerable skills.

Meanwhile, Eddie Hearn seems to think the result is a virtual formality that inevitably leads to an absolutely huge Benavidez v Canelo showdown.

Hearn: I Expect Benavidez To Stop Andrade; I Think Canelo, At That Point, Will Take The Fight

He couldn’t give a shit about this fight. It’s just a run out against a hopeless opponent.

But given his total disregard for making weight it would be hilarious if he somehow gets beat.

LOL jermall, what a guy

Unbelievable, only in boxing
