Super middleweight predicts outcome of Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga and David Benavidez

Trevor McCumby believes Canelo Alvarez would defeat both David Benavidez and Edgar Berlanga.
The undisputed super middleweight has been linked with both fighters when he makes an expected return to the ring in September.
His last outing was a win over Jaime Munguia, winning by decision in May.
Benavidez moved up to light heavyweight in his own most recent bout but would clearly consider a return to 168 for a shot at Canelo, while Chris Eubank Jr. is also said to be in the running.
Speaking to BoxingScene , super middleweight contender McCumby had his say.
“I think Canelo knocks him [Berlanga] out in six rounds,” he said. “I don’t think Berlanga has the seasoning and the ring IQ to take that but I’m happy he is potentially getting that opportunity.
“If I’m to put my money on the line, it’s a bit hard, man,” McCumby said. “David doesn’t really have the bounciness and the footwork but David has a high work rate and he can’t stand in front of you so maybe it’s hard to say.
“I’ll probably put it on Canelo but then again you just don’t know what the age is as well.”
