Count Trevor McCumby among the vocal few who believe undisputed super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is not ducking David Benavidez. Arizona’s McCumby (28-0, 21 KOs), a rising undefeated super middleweight, says Alvarez isn’t ducking any 168-pounder. The viewpoint contrasts what many fight fans and fighters, including Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward, Daniel Jacobs and Paulie Malignaggi have said about a potential Canelo-Benavidez fight—all of whom have declared Canelo is avoiding the unbeaten two-time super middleweight champion who has been calling out the Mexican great for years.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Teofimo Lopez, the WBO champion at 140 pounds, has expressed his intention to move up to the welterweight division, eyeing a potential three-division world champion status. Lopez clarified previous retirement suggestions, stating his continued passion for the sport after his recent victory over Steve Clagget. As Top Rank's roster at 147 pounds lacks depth, Lopez could be a strategic opponent, especially once Norman, another Top Rank fighter, is fully promoted to the full welterweight title. Lopez's move aligns with the WBO's rules, allowing him to challenge for the 147-pound title as the current 140-pound titlist.
