Canelo Alvarez is fired up and ready to give Edgar Berlanga the “beating of his life” in their upcoming match at the T-Mobile Arena. Despite Berlanga’s trash talk and cocky demeanor, Canelo is looking forward to breaking his face and teaching him a lesson on the big stage. The competitive spirit in Canelo has been ignited by the verbal jabs thrown by Berlanga, and he is eager to put him in his place once and for all.
Many critics argue that Berlanga is not deserving of his #1 ranking in the WBA due to his lack of victories over top contenders. Despite beating a few British fighters, Berlanga has yet to face a true challenge in the super middleweight division. Some speculate that Berlanga avoided facing David Morrell for the WBC ‘regular’ title out of fear of losing. Instead, he waited for the opportunity to fight Canelo, a matchup that many believe is a total mismatch.
The undercard for the Canelo-Berlanga event has left many boxing fans disappointed, especially considering the high price of $89.99 for the PPV. With lackluster matchups like Erislandy Lara vs. Danny Garcia and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero vs. Manuel Jaimes, some fans may find it difficult to justify the cost of the event. Lara, who is coming off a two-year hiatus, will face an inactive Garcia, while Romero is looking to bounce back from a knockout loss against a relatively unknown opponent.
As the WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez is a dominant force in the division. His upcoming fight against Edgar Berlanga will serve as a test of both skill and character for both fighters. While Canelo is confident in his ability to come out on top, Berlanga is determined to prove his critics wrong and make a name for himself in the sport. The outcome of this highly-anticipated matchup will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the landscape of super middleweight boxing.
