The Mexican Monster became the first man to win world titles at 168, 175 and 200 pounds. The champion from Down Under fought through a jaw broken on both sides to become cruiserweight king. In this video, we revisit the roads that led both men here: 🔴 David Benavidez • Ronald Gavril — youngest super middleweight champion in history • Caleb Plant — a five-year grudge settled • David Morrell — off the canvas to stay unbeaten • Zurdo Ramírez — three-division history on Cinco de Mayo weekend 🔵 Jai Opetaia • Mairis Briedis I — winning the world title with a broken jaw • Mairis Briedis II — reclaiming the IBF belt in Riyadh • David Nyika — the trans-Tasman shootout • Claudio Squeo — one right hook, one broken jaw The blistering hand speed of El Monstruo, or the southpaw precision of Jai Opetaia?
