Boxing followers wish to see Canelo Alvarez tackle David Benavidez in some unspecified time in the future this 12 months. It does not seem prone to occur in Might, however September is probably the appropriate date for the Mexican to offer followers the extremely anticipated bout.
If the battle ever does materialize, NABO tremendous middleweight champion Edgar Berlanga is backing Benavidez. He merely does not consider Canelo has the abilities anymore.

Whereas chatting with BoxingScene, Berlanga had this to say a couple of potential battle between Alvarez and Benavidez.
I feel [Benavidez] might beat him only for the straightforward truth of his conditioning, good protection, punch output, and that he can take a punch. If he can take Canelo’s photographs he can presumably breeze via Canelo. Canelo shouldn’t be that man that he was 5, six years in the past who was throwing mixtures. Canelo is a man now who simply masses up on one punch to attempt to knock you out or break down your arms, faux, and shoot. Benavidez lets his palms fly.
Canelo is actually not in his prime anymore at 33 years previous, but it surely’s shocking to listen to Berlanga say Benavidez might “breeze via” the Mexican. Just because nobody has ever accomplished it, apart from Dmitry Bivol when Alvarez moved up a complete weight class.
Berlanga does warn that Benavidez must battle like his true self with a view to win. He believes fighters cower within the second, and he thinks Jermell Charlo did precisely that.
Lots of guys get in entrance of Canelo they usually really feel his presence. They do not battle the way in which they’re presupposed to be combating. Identical factor with Jermell Charlo. He regarded superb in his fights and as quickly as he will get within the ring, he’s working circles. He made himself appear like a f***ing clown. You possibly can’t go up there and b*tch out.
Berlanga has by no means been one to mince phrases, and he actually did not on this interview. The 26-year-old is at the moment gearing as much as face Padraig McCrory on February 24. If he will get to 22-0 with a victory, he is eyeing a “large battle” subsequent.
