David Benavidez’s father, Jose Benavidez Sr., says Canelo Alvarez will be sent to the “hospital” if he ever fights ‘The Mexican Monster.’ He states that Canelo’s body is “no longer the same,” and it wouldn’t respond effectively in a fight against Benavidez. Jose Sr. says the “shadow’ of Canelo’s fear will follow him the rest of his life, tormenting him with the memory of his avoidance of Benavidez. It’ll be there in his mind. You can tell that Jose Sr. means what he says.

David Benavidez says he’ll be fighting Callum Smith or Anthony Yarde next. He’s leaning toward facing Smith because he holds the WBO interim light heavyweight title. Benavidez (30, 24 KOs) feels that he needs that belt to help box in the winner of the Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev 3 trilogy to face him. David Benavidez already holds the WBC and WBA ‘regular’ 175-lb title, but he wants another belt to help pressure whoever emerges victorious in the Bivol-Beterbiev trilogy clash.

Teddy Atlas believes that Terence Crawford has got that Sugar Ray Leonard element to his game that will enable him to move up to 168 to defeat undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13th. Atlas views Crawford as “special,” and he thinks that he’s catching the 35-year-old Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) at the right time. Alvarez has begun to show his age in his last three fights, and he questions whether the money he’s made has taken away his desire.

Junto Nakatani’s trainer, Rudy Hernandez, says he hopes Nakatani (30-0, 23 KOs) will fight Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez because he’s “100 percent” confident he’ll knock him out. It’s a fight that Nakatani should take to give him some badly-needed experience, but he won’t. It’s a good thing for Nakatani that his trainer, Rudy, doesn’t make his fights. Bam’s ability to move, throw punches from weird angles would be a nightmare for him.

Trainer Stephen Edwards says Terence Crawford’s year out of the ring won’t negatively affect his performance against Canelo Alvarez on September 13th. Edwards points out that Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) has never shown ring rust in the many years he’s been inactive, and he feels it won’t hurt his performance against the undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) in their mega-fight.
