One of the standout aspects of Benavidez’s fight nights is his choice of walkout songs and the fervor with which he enters the arena. Let’s delve into some of the memorable anthems he has selected for his ring walks over the years, building up to his upcoming clash against Ukrainian powerhouse, Gvozdyk.
David Benavidez’s walkout anthems
Ronald Gavril In 2017, David Benavidez made history by becoming the youngest WBC super middleweight champion after defeating Ronald Gavril. His entrance at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas was nothing short of spectacular, accompanied by ‘Money Team’ by Friyie. Not one to shy away from embracing his heritage, Benavidez also introduced his own corrido, a traditional Mexican ballad, which added a unique touch to his triumph.
J’leon Love During his bout against J’Leon Love in 2019 at AT&T Stadium, Benavidez opted for ‘Sobrino de la tia juana’ by Maximo Grado as his walkout anthem. The choice proved prophetic as he delivered a stunning second-round knockout, solidifying his reputation as ‘The Mexican Monster’ among cheering fans.
Anthony Dirrell Later that same year, Benavidez faced Anthony Dirrell, entering the arena to the tune of ‘Ni hoy ni mañana’ by Gerardo Ortiz. His performance in the ring was equally commanding, forcing Dirrell’s corner to call off the fight in the ninth round due to a debilitating cut near his right eye.
Career-Best Performances and Memorable Ring Walks
In a clash against Caleb Plant at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Benavidez revisited ‘Sobrino de la tia juana’ by Maximo Grado, perhaps seeking to recreate the intensity that had brought him previous victories. His strategic use of walkout songs underscores his meticulous approach to every aspect of his fight night experience.
The year 2023 saw Benavidez face off against Demetrius Andrade at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, where he selected DJ Snake’s ‘Ring the Alarm’ as his entrance anthem. The lyrics resonated with the audience, adding to the atmosphere as he once again emerged victorious.
As Benavidez prepares to co-headline at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this Saturday, anticipation runs high among fans and pundits alike. Will he opt for the familiar strains of ‘Sobrino de la tia juana’ for his walkout anthem once more? The answer remains tantalizingly unknown.
