Solid fight weekend coming up. We'll get to see Canelos actual mandatory in action v Ronald Ellis 18-1-2 in Showtimes main event. Personally I think Benavidez is one guy with one of the brightest futures in the sport but a glaring 800 lb gorilla in the room cannot be ignored. Make the damn weight! Bottom line is that everything about Benavidez is massive. The wing span, his body shots, rolling in heated combos and yes his cocky confidence. He just did an interview about being the only physical threat to Alvarez but he really needs to get his head on straight 24-7. Make weight, keep the straps you win ffs...Canelo likes when you bring shiny things through the door..keep your nose 'clean'. Most important focus on the business at hand. Ellis is a capable boxer who can be a bit stiff but physical. He like Benavidez has also blown the scales up. Ellis missed weight by 5 lbs and came in an unofficial 180 for his fight with Korobov last December. I really do hope these two don't have some silent type of wink and nod to mutually come in heavy. Should be physical and see Benavidez getting the wear down late TKO.
