    • Yep, I agree. The marketing department for the promoter in the fight does a great hype job like it’s going to be a barn burner. Flop is corrent!

      • Well technically a loss, but truly a win for Berlanga. He will get more fight opportunities for a greater wage and a larger platform. Look at what Tank Davis did for Rolly’s career.

        • If Berlanga gets dominated or knocked out early his opportunities will diminish just like so many others before him. Berlanga is not half as good as so many people make him out to be. He had never fought anyone good. The man had 16 consecutive KO streak against many unknown fighters or fighters with little fights, but as soon as the competition rise a bit they stopped coming. It took him another 3-years to get another KO. He even been knocked down by a journeyman. If Berlanga gets destroyed many people are going to call it like they been saying all along. Just like Doo Doo Andrade once he gets his first taste against a real fighter he gets schooled. it all depends how the fight goes for him it could make or break his career.

    • I really can’t either. The only question is will Canelo win by KO or decision, and if by KO-what round? I question if Canelo could KO the naturally bigger Berlanga, but if he was able to KO Kovalev, I think he could do the same to Berlanga. Big punchers have notoriously week chins, not to say Berlanga has a week chin, but he has been down before. Demond Nicholson stopped Berlanga in his tracks with straight punches to the face a few times the first time Berlanga went the distance. That was back in 2021 and maybe Berlanga has corrected some of those flaws, but Canelo will surely be able to capitalize on them if he hasn’t.

      • I would say Berlanga has a weak chin the man has been dropped by a journeyman. Canelo on the other hand has one of the best if not best chin in the sport. He also have never been knocked down. The man fought some heavy hitters at that while Berlanga hasn’t. I also think Berlanga’s power is also questionable. The man had 16 straight KO streak all from shit fighters or fighters that haven’t had many fights. He went on a 3-year drought before he earned another KO.

  • Berlanga will have to hurt, drop, and or stop Canelo in order to win, which seems impossible to do. I find it interesting that Canelo has been hurt one time and that was at Welterweight by Miguel Cotto’s brother many years ago.

  • This is the equivalent to Mayweather – Ortiz; i.e. a fight I paid minimal attention to. Hope it bombs.

    • Nah, Ortiz deserves way more respect than that. Ortiz fought elite competition prior to Floyd such as Marcos Maidana, Antonio Diaz, Nate Campbell, Vivian Harris, Lamont Peterson and that classic barn burner with Andre Berto. Berlanga has done nothing. He’s a total cherry pick.

  • Excellent marketing. Canelo really has the machine behind him. A causal fan would actually believe this is a competitive fight.

  • There are plenty of casuals when caneloyellow fights. They know little of boxing or who would be competitive. This fight is just window dressing.

    • No, KK. Berlanga said nobody Canelo fought
      ever had his ring IQ. You gotta believe him!!!
      HAH! I think Berlanga is going to bring it.
      He may also walk into a perfectly timed hook to the jaw. We shall see. I don’t blame
      Canelo for not wanting to fight a cruiserweight on fight night. Unfair advantage, to say the least. No offense to
      DB. And no, I don’t consider myself a Canelo
      fan, but I’m not hating on him either.
      Tainted meat and all.

  • Douglass, comparing Berlanga to Demetrius Andrade is borderline sacrilegious. Andrade was an amateur world champion, Olympian, and won world titles in two weight classes and went up to 168 lbs to fight a man that fought at 201 lbs in the amateurs. Please conduct some research before posting such rubbish. Your welcome.

    • Benavidez will look desperate as this point for showing up. Canelo is charging $89.99 for this fight and has plenty of supporter who will back him no matter how ridiculous this fight is. Canelo will NEVER fight him. At this point, Benavidez needs to have self respect and move on.
