Shields: Morrell is ready not only for Benavidez, but also for Canelo

Ronnie Shields believes that his ward David Morrell (10-0, 9 KO) is ready for a fight with David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs).

Benavidez, preparing for the yet-to-be-taken fight with Canelo, has already knocked out almost everyone in the weight limit up to 76.2 kilograms. The only interesting option other than the Mexican star is a possible fight with the undefeated and strong Cuban.

“I believe that my guy is ready not only for Benavidez, but even for Canelo. The only question is when will he get his chance?” - said a respected American coach in the boxing world in an interview with BoxingScene.com. Morrell himself, in his interviews, no less persistently pushes the PBC management to connect him with a fighter from Phoenix.
