Hearn made a prediction for a potential fight between Alvarez and Benavidez

The head of the promotion company Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, expressed the opinion that the absolute world champion in the second middleweight Saul Alvarez will be able to inflict the first defeat David Benavidez, if their fight takes place

“I don’t think Benavidez will beat Alvarez. In the case of Saul, you never know how good he is and what he has left, because he is a very proud man. In the fight against Charlo, I saw more than enough, but still not everything. We remember that after the previous fight, Canelo underwent surgery and had problems with his knee. Alvarez was not fully prepared for some fights, but I think he was determined to fight Charlo.

The impression was that Canelo felt better both physically and mentally. I think he will beat Benavidez too. “I think Saul will deal with Terence Crawford, but I’m biased because I love him,” Boxing News 24 quotes Hearn as saying.
