David Benavidez, the “Kryptonite” of Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez
Some weeks ago, Julio César Chávez said that David Benavidez is the only boxer who could defeat Saúl Álvarez . However, the “Great Mexican Champion” is not alone in that conception. Austin Trout also considers that Benavidez would be in charge of leaving the “ Canelo ”on the canvas, inside the ring.
It is no longer a coincidence that they place Benavidez as the main candidate to defeat “Canelo”. The “Mr. Knockout” had already warned in advance. Now, in a statement with Fighthub, Austin Trout reaffirmed that position.
“ I think it’s the one they should (‘Canelo’ and his team) avoid like the plague. It has speed, it has size and it has power. What will you do? I don’t know how that Mexican grew up so fast, but he definitely did and I’m a huge fan of Benavidez ”, expressed Trout.
David Benavidez was consecrated twice WBC Super Middleweight Champion . However, situations outside the ring led him to lose his belts . But Trout described the arsenal the fighter displayed in his last fight against Ronald Ellis.
“In his last fight, the way he chose the combinations was very crazy (…) Who thought he would throw that away? Left hook, right hook, uppercut on all sides. So I think Benavidez would beat ´Canelo´ ”, he emphasized.
However, Austin believes that this fight would probably not be anywhere close to taking place because Alvarez himself would be aware of the difficulty of it. “’Canelo’ is smart. He knows from Floyd Mayweather how to wait to see some signs (…) I don’t know if ‘Canelo’ will accept that early. I shouldn’t “, he concluded.
Although he has lost a bit of noise, it is expected that Saúl Álvarez will face the North American Caleb Plant. The combat would be developed in September and would have the purpose of unifying the 168 pounds . In this sense, the “Kryptonite” of “Canelo” should wait a little longer in a hypothetical confrontation .
