As announced by DAZN on their facebook page, Canelo Alvarez vs Edgar Berlanga is now official and this fight will take place on September 14 at Las Vegas.
Some said (includind me) that this is cherry-picking once again on the side of Team Canelo.
What do you think of this fight guys?
-
It's another tune up for Canelo again, but what can we do, he chooses to still get away from David Benavidez and doesn't want to give him that fight and so we will have to accept it.
Interesting in the undercard is Danny Garcia vs Erislandy Lara, both are good champions in their primes. Danny Garcia's left hook and same with Lara who I think give Canelo one of his hardest fight because of Lara's style.
In any case I don't see Berlanga pulling a upset here, and maybe after this win, Canelo might want to give Benavidez his due and fight him next year.
-
Yes, another cherry pick fight for Canelo. I think after this defeat to Bivol, Canelo started to cherry pick his opponents very carefully so that he will not take a L again. Although in paper Berlanga is huge and has that power and size at 168 lbs, Canelo still had that mentality and he is also a great counter puncher.
And with this vast experienced, he can feint and set traps that Berlanga wouldn't see. Just like what he did to Munguia who is too green when he fought Canelo. So the question is, what Berlanga can bring in the table that Canelo hasn't seen in his years?

And in news related to this fight, Canelo Alvarez stripped of IBF title after agreeing to fight Edgar Berlanga. (https://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-alvarez-stripped-ibf-title-agreeing-fight-edgar-berlanga--185026)
Finally, someone has stand up against Canelo and put him in a notice that he is not above any boxing organization. He has been avoiding or we can say ducking for years his IBF mandatory and even his WBC.
But WBC is giving him a free passed, while IBF is not going to sugar coat anything and they stripped him of his belt following Canelo choosing Berlanga to fight this September.

Berlanga isn't even a top fighter. Canelo doesn't even have a perfect record so there isn't anything to be afraid of. losing doesn't matter. but i'm guessing its still about the risk and boxing politics.
social media people says it wasn't the first time Canelo being stripped of his belt in IBF. IBF being stripping belt Usyk despite not ducking anyone got stripped too. Morrell and Benavidez should be fighting over that vacant belt in this case.

He doesn't deserve all the belts, and yet he is not fighting fighters he should have fought, Morell and Benavidez are an interesting matchup for that belt in case Benavidez wants to go back to that weight category because the Light heavyweight has a lot to offer as he is going to face the winner of the Bivol - Beterbiev match.

He is rank boxer though amongst the governing body, and Canelo has been eyeing him this year. Him and Munguia are the only fighter that Canelo wanted because somewhat their names are somewhat the hype. And there were even talks of a Munguia vs Berlanga rivalry as they are contemporaries. Lucky for them have, they have fought Canelo already and getting their biggest paycheck.

The point is that Canelo or any boxer should be fighting their mandatory. If not, they should be stripped of the belts. But other governing body is not going to imposed it. Morrell and Benavidez is not rank by the IBF so I doubt that they are going to be fighting for the vacant belt.

I wonder what's the reason why he isn't fighting stronger, and better fighters and not this Berlanga who isn't on his level at least.
I mean I guess this is also one reason why Benavidez went up to Light Heavyweight. There's more fighters to face, and they aren't afraid to fight against the best of the best. He won on his debut fight against Gvozdyk, and maybe we can say that he's comfortable in that division... at least for now. As for this fight, it might be like an exhibition match for Canelo for sure. It's good that the IBF didn't sugarcoat this one, and stripped the belt to him. The question is, who will get that title now that's vacant. :D

Agree that an upset is very impossible. Mungia is way better than Berlanga and Canelo destroyed and toyed with the kid so how much more can he do with the inexperienced Berlanga.
Maybe after this fight he will not go directly to Benavidez, Crawford might be a good choice as the latter is old and smaller than him.

They really laden out their plans for this year, Munguia and Berlanga. And I though that Munguia vs Berlanga should have happen earlier, as the promoters of both of them are hyping this fight.
But in any case they got what they wish, a bigger paycheck fighting Canelo.
So we will see if Canelo will call Benavidez after his win. Fans are expecting that Benavidez should be next. Speaking of Munguia though,
https://www.espn.ph/boxing/story/_/id/40626210/jaime-munguia-signs-top-rank-faces-erik-bazinyan-next
Jaime Munguia has signed a multifight co-promotional deal with Top Rank and will fight Erik Bazinyan on Sept. 20 in the Phoenix area, sources told ESPN.
Munguia (43-1, 34 KOs) suffered his first loss in May, a spirited decision setback against boxing's top star, Canelo Alvarez. Munguia's past 16 fights were co-promoted by Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions and Zanfer Promotions (the past 13 were streamed on DAZN).

To avoid the lose hehe, that maybe the main reason why he avoided Benavidez as Team Canelo knows that they will be in big trouble if they face the younger Mexican. I have a feeling that Canelo wants to maximize his remaining years in boxing fighting patsies and not the best like he used to do in the early stage of his career.

He is on the tail end of his career, and although he said that he still wanted to fight longer, his body and mind might not take it, it's the wear and tear and sooner or later father time will catches up even some of the greats.
That's why he carefully chooses his opponent that he thinks he can beat. And then the money as well, I'm seeing 2 fights for him that will bring that big payday.
- Crawford
-Benavidez
So let's see if next year that will be his target and maybe after that he can retire.

Both fights are money fights for Canelo Alvarez, hoping that they would consider this fights for next year. If Crawford and Benavidez fight will push through then i think Canelo will earn all the respect he deserves for facing the right opponent for him.

And with how the see the performance of Crawford against Madrimov, for sure Canelo is drooling a fight with that version of as he is beatable and most likely one of the fights that we have seen Crawford wasn't able to adjust in the middle rounds and then knockout his opponent.
So we can say that he should not talk about Canelo in his future fights because I don't see Crawford winning against Canelo. Maybe he could stay at 154 lbs and fight either of the Charlo brothers, that could be his money fight at 154 lbs.

Good thing for Crawford is that if the Canelo fight doesn't materialize for various reasons, his Excellency has other option. I watched his interview and he said that he is willing to stage a fight with Crawford facing Ortiz if Canelo is a no-go. Still Crawford vs Ortiz is a crowd drawer in my opinion. I don't see any chance that Crawford would beat a bigger Canelo Alvarez.

I think Terrence is showing signs of aging his performance against Madrimov is a far cry from his performance against Spence, Madrimov only has 10 professional fights but he still able to hold Terrence for split decision it was a very close fight I thought that Madrimov was leading going to the championship fight.
Against Virgil, he will have a hard time as Virgil is at his peak. He has the power, speed, and stamina to counter Terrence's experience; it will be an interesting fight if Terrence chooses to face Ortiz.

That's what i'm thinking also that he will struggle against Virgil Ortiz who is in the peak of his career but this one is a better fight for him than facing the bigger Canelo Alvarez. This might be his last fight if he losses to Ortiz as he will be 38 years old which is consider old in boxing and it already shows in the Madrimov fight.

We have the first conference and this early Canelo disrespecting Berlanga calling him nothing compared to fighters he fought, and that pissed off Berlanga, Canelo is just being honest; Berlanga does not have the resume compared to fighters Canelo foughtt, and he is just too lucky that Canelo is giving him a chance.
Canelo is very relaxed in the heated argument, he's been here and done this so many times, that it's like another day in the office for Canelo.

We all know that there's no such thing as an easy fight in boxing but definitely i could say that this fight would be the easiest fight for Canelo Alvarez. Edgar Berlanga is inexperienced and got nothing to brag on his resume and yup he is lucky that Canelo picked him up as his opponent on this tune-up fight.

Exactly, Canelo is taking the easy route for now, as he doesn't want to damage his reputation and again, after the Bivol lost, he is very careful, and most likely Eddy Reynoso has the final word to say as to who will Canelo be facing next.
As for Edgar Berlanga, he has a good knockout record, but it will not be enough for the experienced of Canelo. And in the video of the heated press conference, you can hear Canelo saying, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?" So there is no respect whatsoever from Berlanga here.

On the press conference, Canelo kept calling Berlanga nothing or not to his level and yet he gave him a chance to fight him, If Berlanga is nothing or not to his level, why fight him in the first place?
He just admitted that he was cherry picking, which he is, People should realize that Canelo is taking us for a ride, He will never fight fighters who he is a threat to his legacy, so he keeps giving chances to fighters who he can easily beat.

+1, yeah, this is the purest cherry pick by Canelo. At least with Munguia, he gave the kid the respect. But here he pick Berlanga and then call him nothing. Lol.
For sure, and I guess some of his Mexicans fans as well knows what Canelo is doing. There are reports that his fight in Mexico against Ryder was short of their expectations as again, Ryder was a cherry pick as well but Canelo wasn't able to knock him out.

It steamed from that one lost he suffered from Bivol. In the first fight against GGG, we know that he lost and that's why it takes time for a rematch to happen. And as if Canelo waited for GGG to become old to give him that fight. And then his mistakes of thinking that he is unstoppable then, by going up to 175 lbs and challenge become and he was clearly beaten.
And so after that, Canelo and his team are very careful in choosing their next opponents. He doesn't want another L in his record that might hurt his status as the cash cow of boxing. And so with that, it will be Berlanga, another inexperience fighter and then they try to spin and have a story board of Mexico vs Puerto Rico. Of course, there will still be fans that are going to buy the tickets or PPV. But still for some fans, this is like a tune up for him.

^^, He is choosy of who the fighters that he wanted to face, and most likely the split could be 80-20 in his favor and then the split on PPV buys. And his opponents can't do anything about it otherwise they will missed that biggest paycheck of their careers like Berlanga here.
He might have gotten millions already, but against Canelo it could be in the tune of $1 million ++ for him.
And now that he is good at promoting it, getting into Canelo's face and trash talking already.

I don't think that fans are going to buy that whole Mexico vs Puerto Rico storyboard here, it's not that there are a lot of Puerto Rican's right now challenging Mexico for the belt. And it's not even fair, Berlanga is very young, inexperience and so fans really understand that Canelo is cherry picking and probably might not fight Benavidez. But good for Berlanga, just like Munguia, he will be earning his first millions fighting Canelo Alvarez. But as far as them winning, chances are slim and I do not think that fans here are going to give Berlanga a slim chance to win.

Yup, young boxers like Edgar Berlanga are eager to fight a champion like Canelo Alvarez because of the purse prize and some sort of advertising themselves on how they would fare against Canelo. If the outcome is good for them, i mean they last the full twelve rounds then probably that would raised their stock as you fought the best and you survive, even in a loss you are happy hehe.

Yes, it's the experience that they will get on fighting the cash cow like Canelo. Take for example himself, his first lost is against a very prime Floyd Mayweather. And after that lost, Canelo went on a winning streak, beat a lot of great boxers along the way, become the face of boxing, until he was defeated by Bivol. And so that is what Canelo is giving back, although we can't discount the fact that he is making big money fighting this young guys but the risk is small for him to get upset and beaten. And if ever Canelo will lost here, I think Berlanga will be the new face of boxing, it's like passing of the torch. So let's see how Berlanga is, if he is the real deal or just another hype boxer from Puerto Rico.

This fight is in page 4? Wow we haven't discussed it here. Anyhow, I posted this is in the other community,
Here is the weigh-in,
(https://img.youtube.com/vi/zboZlsDEjgs/0.jpg) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zboZlsDEjgs)
Berlanga = 167.5 lbs
Canelo = 166 and 3/4 lbs
Interesting to see that Canelo is light in this weigh-in, perhaps they really work hard for him to be within the weight limit. But as you Canelo is very relax while Berlanga seems to be on fire and wanted to fight already.
Don't forget to put your bet on this one, either over and under 6.5 or Canelo winning by knockout or going into distance.
-
^^ In a interview, Canelo says that he will really go and wanted to knockout Berlanga here, so that is a scary thoughts assuming that Canelo is very motivated right now as Berlanga could have irked Canelo because of his statement that he is going to also knock him out.
And obviously Berlanga is a huge underdog here, but I don't think that he has enough to give Canelo another L in his career. Canelo is too intelligent to be outsmarted by a boxing in Berlanga who has no experience and he didn't know what he brought himself up looking to fight Canelo.
-
And we have seen what Canelo can still do to these young fighters, and as want most of us predicted, it will be over 8.5 and Canelo winning by decision. So congrats to those who tailed this one, and I guess it's very easy on how we see Canelo dominating the fight.
So time for him to take a rest, and let's see next year, Cinco de Mayo, I'm expecting Canelo to finally pick David Benavidez for a fight or someone big. Although he has pretty much clean up the division already.

Yes, we definitely saw how Canelo can still show his dominance, especially when facing younger fighters. As many predicted, he controlled the fight and won via decision, so for those who bet smart, congratulations! Now is the perfect time for Canelo to rest and recover after that fight. Talking about next year, especially on Cinco de Mayo, it will be interesting to see who his next opponent is, and many of us are hoping that he will eventually meet David Benavidez or maybe another big fighter for a fresher challenge.

I didn't have the time to watch the whole fight because I watched the UFC but nevertheless, I'm not surprised that Canelo will win on this one.
What I'm surprised is he knocked Berlanga down in the 3rd round. The outcome is pretty much the same as what he did with Munguia. Knock him once, dominate the whole fight.
It's time for him to rest now, or not. :D As for Benavidez, I guess this will depend on the outcome of the Bivol-Beterbiev fight because we know that he's on the same division as the 2 of them. It will depend if he will try to get those title from the winner, or he will go back to Middleweight as soon as Canelo show interest in fighting him. If that happens, I'm pretty sure that Canelo will get so much money from that. :D

UFC results are more surprising as almost all are just won by decision. they didn't want anyone to go home crying while its Mexico's independence day. there are two finishes in the prelims though.
Canelo knocking down Berlanga and then slow down in the later rounds sounds like he proves he can KO the guy in the earlier rounds but then just decide to give the crowd an entertain evening by continuing the fight til 12th round.

Congrats mate on that easy win hehe. I took the risky path by betting on Canelo to win via decision on our local sport bookies. That was a one-sided event and i almost fell on my chair when Berlanga was knock down in the third round, fortunately for us he survived and last the full twelve rounds.
Most of us is expecting him to fight either Benavidez or Bivol but i don't think he will heed to the request of the fans as he has his eyes on the easier fight rather than those difficult to win fights against Bivol or Benavidez.
-
Still a mismatch for Canelo here, did you guys see how fast Canelo throw that left hook to knockdown Berlanga. It was swift and the timing with that. And so with that kind of opponents, we will see Canelo's talent in full display again. But we will see him let's say if he rematch Bivol or will go to Benavidez next if he can win that fight.
He was asked about a fight with Terence Crawford and he says that no comment. Perhaps he doesn't want that fight because him and HE are not seeing eye to eye.

Yeah, we can see it from afar, Lol, that Canelo will dominate and the same result as when we fought Munguia. Although he wants to impressed his fans by scoring a knockout win, Berlanga is too big to get knockout.

We want him either to fight Bivol or Benavidez, but with HE Turki in the middle now, I don't know that Canelo can fight this two without going to the supposedly power broker. And as you can see, him and Crawford are sitting besides each other, and so I don't think that Turki is willing to negotiate with Canelo at this point, they have a feud already.

And maybe save the guy's young career? Berlanga was coming from an impressive record with high KO percentage and it would have been more humiliating if he was taken out quickly. Although defeated, at least there's some pride left if he was able to make it to the 12th round.

Edgar Berlanga is still young and i think he will recover from this loss easily and move forward to future big fights. Now that we can say that Berlanga could stand toe to toe with the big names in his division then i think promoters will offer him good fights in the future. He must use the Canelo defeat as a motivation that he couldn't be defeated easily if the preparation is right.

It's not that impressive if you see who is Berlanga's opponent that he knocks out during his run. But when he stepped up the plate, he had a hard time knocking them down or winning by a knockout. But since he already build his resume already, he was given the fight against Canelo.
He was used to be promoted by Top Rank, but they have separated their ways and it was speculated that Top Rank didn't renew his contract because he is not that marketable.

Berlanga has no impressive resume. The reason he is in the event is because Canelo is cherry picking and giving lessons to new boxers, he should have faced the likes of Benavidez, Benavidez can easily dispose him.
Oscar De La Hoya in one of his video was mocking Berlanga and telling him that it was his last pay-per-view event I guess Oscar is right; he is not impressive to be in a top boxing promotion. I think Berlanga's career is hanging he will need to be more impressive in his next fight.

And that is the reason why Top Rank didn't re-sign him because he is not that bankable to them. Yeah, they build what Edgar Berlanga is right now, but before they just feed him with unknown boxers and trying to build his reputation. However, Berlanga has no patience, during his time with Top Rank, he really wanted to fight Canelo.
But Top Rank wanted to still proved himself that he can go and win against Canelo. And maybe Top Rank is right, because he is not ready with the likes of Canelo. Anyhow, we will see what is next for him. Munguia will have this fight this weekend if I'm not mistaken and so I believed Munguia vs Berlanga is possible in the future.

It means that Berlanga is a hype job that Top Rank wanted to build. But I think he has the balls to say that he wanted tougher fight. But perhaps says that they can't guarantee him for now at this point of his career to give him paycheck and then good boxers.
And so they parted ways, he get want he wants, that big paycheck against Canelo. But it could be true that after this one, he might not get a huge paycheck based on his performance. Everything in boxing now is pure business and promoters wanted their boxers to get some exposure to put this stock up before getting them to fight cash cows so that they can demand huge money as well.

I recall when he achieved 16 consecutive wins, all by knockout, which really started the hype around him. I also remember his controversial decision win against Steve Rolls, where he struggled but still managed to secure the victory.
Edgar is still young i think so maybe he could bounce back and become a champion someday with the help of his new found promoter.

Yes, and if he is feed against the lions, he win but his performance is in question and that's why I believed that is one reason why Top Rank released him although we know that Bob Arum is a very careful promoter and he usually choose fighters that Berlanga can beat so that his name will somewhat pop.
You are right, he is very young and can bounce back again in this division or if he chooses to go up then it's a good career move as well. But it might be good for him to stay at 168 lbs and look for a money fight against Munguia.

You are correct, and if you observed when the final bell rings, Berlanga is all smile and hugging Canelo and might be thanking him for giving that opportunity to fight him. And for me, Berlanga is like a bigger version of Charlo.
And he could be just there to survived and claim his paycheck against the cash cow Canelo. As in the paper he wanted to go toe to toe, but in the fight, he is unwilling to go toe to toe specially once he tasted the canvass.
He can sure rest and then reset his career again with another fight next year.

There’s no doubt that Edgard Berlanga will rise to become a champion someday. The toughness and resilience he displayed against Canelo have proven his potential. This fight has undoubtedly boosted his popularity, and fans are eagerly anticipating his future bouts. With his determination and skill, Berlanga is on a promising path to greatness.
As for Canelo, i think he will go on cherry picking on his way to retirement unless HE Turki will intervene hehe.
Time to lock the thread now and as always thanks for your valuable comments.
