Canelo Alvarez will lace up his gloves once again this year to fight Edgar Berlanga. It won’t be an easy bout for the Mexican boxer, but he has now issued a stark warning to his rival about the potential outcome.
Earlier this year, Canelo Alvarez faced Jaime Munguia in an exciting match, winning by unanimous decision against one of the most promising rising stars in boxing.
Now, Canelo is preparing to face another potential superstar. Edgar Berlanga has had a remarkable career thus far, but his toughest challenge awaits him against the Mexican this Saturday.
Canelo Alvarez predicts the outcome for his fight against Edgar Berlanga
Saul Alvarez has only lost two fights in his entire career, to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Dmitry Bivol. The Mexican fighter intends to keep his loss count at two for the remainder of his career.
The Jalisco-born pugilist has had an impressive career, winning 61 bouts (39 by knockout) and only losing twice. He is now set to face rising star Edgar Berlanga, who will present a significant challenge.
Berlanga, a Brooklyn native, has repeatedly stated his goal of retiring Canelo from the boxing scene. However, the Mexican fighter is confident that the outcome of their bout will be in his favor.
“I’m knocking him out in eight rounds, or less,” Canelo said from MGM Grand Main Lobby Tuesday. “He’s a good fighter, he’s strong, but he’s nothing new to me. I have a lot of experience, and he’s going to feel it on Saturday.”
On the other hand, Berlanga heard Canelo’s warning and responded that he plans to knock Alvarez out early. “I’m going to knock him out in the sixth round,” Berlanga said. “When it’s time to shine, I always come through. This is war.”
