The recent comments made by Oscar De La Hoya regarding the upcoming fight between Canelo Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga have caused quite a stir in the boxing world. De La Hoya, who was once the promoter of Canelo, did not hold back when he referred to the fight as a “snoozefest.” He even went as far as predicting that the pay-per-view buys for the fight would not exceed 100k homes.
While Canelo has chosen to remain silent on his former promoter’s criticism, Berlanga has not been shy about speaking out. The undefeated puncher has boldly claimed that he will knock Canelo out and has accused De La Hoya of being out of touch with reality. Berlanga’s fiery response has added fuel to the already intense anticipation surrounding the fight.
The question on everyone’s mind is whether De La Hoya’s criticisms are justified or if he has gone too far. While it is true that Berlanga may not be the opponent fans were hoping to see Canelo face, the fact remains that this is the matchup scheduled for Saturday night. At 34 years old, Canelo may be seen as vulnerable by Berlanga, who is hungry to make a name for himself in the boxing world.
Anticipation for the Fight
Despite the controversy surrounding De La Hoya’s comments, there is no denying that there is a buzz surrounding the fight. Fans are eager to see if Berlanga can live up to his bold claims and if Canelo can prove his doubters wrong. The unpredictability of boxing is what makes it such a thrilling sport, and anything can happen when these two fighters step into the ring.
While De La Hoya’s criticism may have been harsh, it has only served to generate more interest in the fight. Whether the bout will live up to the hype or fall short of expectations remains to be seen. However, one thing is for sure – all eyes will be on Canelo and Berlanga come Saturday night.
