Fraudnelo, the top student of Duckweather University, will avoid Benavidez. He will continue to cherry-pick, catchweight, and add a good mix of corrupt judges on the way to easy wins. He will get to Beterbiev in about 3 years, Bivol and Benavidez when another opponent exposes their flaws. We have seen this game plan before.
We will have to see... There's like ten guys that want the Canelo fight, he can't fight em all next. If he doesn't fight DB or Beterbeiv next year I would be more inclined to say he ducked him... But as it stands just because he's not fighting him next doesn't mean it won't happen
