Michel Rivera To Return on David Bendavidez Undercard
By Ryan Burton

Published On Wed Jan 6, 2021, 10:23 AM EST

In an article published on BoxingScene.com earlier this week, Jake Donovan wrote that former two-time super middleweight champion David 'El Bandera Roja' Benavidez will return to the ring on a date in March.

The information was provided by Benavidez's promoter Sampson Lewkowicz who also stated that Benavidez will continue to campaign in the division.

Benavidez's last ring appearance came on August 15th when he stopped Roamer Alexis Angulo in 10 rounds. He entered the fight as the WBC super middleweight champion but lost his title on the scale when he couldn't get down to the 168 pound limit.

BoxingScene.com has now been advised that March 6th is the likely date for the fight and that another one of Lewkowicz clients will also be on the card. Fast rising lightweight prospect Michel "La Zarza" Rivera (19-0) will see his first action of 2021 with Marcos Villasana Jr. (25-6) being mentioned as a possible opponent.

Rivera, who is a native of the Domican Republic, scored the biggest victory of his young career in his most recent outing this past October when he outpointed Ladarius 'Memphis' Miller (21-2) on the Gervonta Davis-Leo Santa Cruz pay-per-view undercard.

The 22-year-old Rivera is regarded as one of Premier Boxing Champions' best prospects. He began his career in 2013 by knocking out 4 of his first 5 opponents.

Villasana has reeled off 10 wins in a row. The streak includes victories over 3 unbeaten opponents and former title challenger Jose Felix Jr.

nikkas is acting like Uzi had Plant dead to rights on some late rd Andrade vs Bute 1 shyt. :hhh:

Dude survived a late rd surge from somebody who wasn't throwing punches for the 1st 8 rds. shyt was like Loma vs Lopez, but with knockdowns. Uzi was on his way to getting blanked if Plant didn't get winded from boxing his ass up.

The only thing negative I saw from Plant in that fight was potential stamina issues. Other than that he completely outclassed Uzi. nikkas in here need to stop acting like Plant barely pulled that fight off, he very comfortably won that fight.

Gabriel Flores To Face Andrew Cancio On Feb. 20 As Co-Feature To Berchelt-Valdez
By Manouk Akopyan

Published On Wed Jan 6, 2021, 01:37 PM EST

One of the most promising action-packed fights of the year will be getting a solid chief support plan.

Gabriel Flores Jr. will take on former world champion Andrew Cancio in a super featherweight showdown as the co-feature to the clash between WBC super featherweight titlist Miguel Berchelt and Oscar Valdez on Feb. 20 from the MGM Grand Bubble in Las Vegas on ESPN, Carl Moretti, vice president of boxing operations for Top Rank, told BoxingScene.com.

Cancio (21-5-2, 16 KOs) will be making his Top Rank debut more than one year after signing a multi-fight deal with Bob Arum’s promotional outfit.

Cancio was formerly signed with Golden Boy but released from his contract on Thanksgiving week 2019 shortly after he made negative comments toward Oscar De La Hoya regarding his lack of promotion. Cancio then lost his fight and title to Renee Alvarado, and their relationship was severed.

Cancio was set to face Manuel Rojas on July 16 last year but Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett refused to sanction the match because he deemed Rojas as an unfit opponent.

There will be nothing unfit about the 20-year-old Flores Jr. (19-0, 6 KOs). The upstart Flores Jr. finished 2020 with a 3-0 record, fighting twice in the Bubble and once during the Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder undercard.

The 32-year-old Cancio should provide a tough test for the undefeated Flores Jr., who has not landed a knockout win over his last six fights.

Cancio was riding a four-fight winning streak, including two wins over Alberto Machado in 2019, before suffering the loss to Alvarado in his last fight. Cancio had beaten Alvarado in 2015, but couldn’t repeat the feat a second time.

Cancio was one of boxing’s Cinderella stories in 2019 when he successfully completed his journey out of retirement and won a version of the WBA 130-pound title by knocking out Machado, and doing it again for good measure in a rematch months later.

Cancio also works a day job doing backbreaking labor in the field for the Southern California Gas Company.

Steve Kim of The 3 Knockdown Rule podcast first reported the news that a fight between Flores Jr. and Cancio had been made.
