"David Benavidez's Dominance Raises Questions About Potential Canelo Alvarez Showdown"

David Benavidez made a strong statement with his dominant victory over Demetrius Andrade, solidifying his desire to face Canelo Alvarez. Benavidez showcased his skills by knocking down Andrade and ultimately forcing his corner to stop the fight. With each fight, Benavidez has shown significant improvement, and his performance against Andrade should be enough to entice Alvarez into a showdown. However, Alvarez also has the option to fight Jermall Charlo. Benavidez remains determined to face anyone and is ready to take on all challengers.

St. Louis DA declines charges in Cinco de Mayo shooting case.

St. Louis District Attorney Kim Gardner refused to press charges against a woman involved in a Cinco de Mayo shooting that left two people injured due to a "lack of evidence," despite surveillance footage allegedly showing her wielding a gun. The suspect, Amber Booker, was arrested but released on Wednesday after prosecutors denied a motion to charge her with first-degree assault and armed criminal action. Gardner's office said that Booker might be charged if additional evidence is brought forward. The male suspect involved is still on the run. Gardner has come under increased scrutiny for her approach to prosecution in St. Louis, where murder rates have hit a 50-year high.

Police Crack Down on Cinco de Mayo Celebrations and Cruising.

Denver Police have implemented a plan to control traffic on Federal Boulevard during the Cinco de Mayo weekend, reducing the boulevard to one lane in both directions between 6th Avenue and West Evans Avenue. The police will also crack down on loud stereos and excessive horn honking, and will block and divert traffic from neighborhood streets if necessary. The Impalas Car Club's Denver chapter plans to follow the rules and be good role models. Extra patrols will be on hand to keep the traditional "cruising" in check.

The Truth About Cinco de Mayo: History, Culture, and Deals

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in the United States as a day to honor Mexican American culture, but it is not widely celebrated in Mexico. The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. However, it is not Mexico's Independence Day, which is celebrated on September 16. While the holiday has become an excuse for Americans to indulge in tequila and Mexican food, it has also faced criticism for perpetuating offensive stereotypes.

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated differently in Mexico and the United States.
