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 Saudis want to make Terence Crawford vs. Jaron Ennis as soon as possible. They were on course to box each other at welterweight. Ennis was Crawford’s IBF mandatory.
