Predictions, Odds, Time and How to Look

Boxing great Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez is set to enter the ring for a historic fight on the celebrated Mexican Independence Day weekend to take on the undefeated Edgar Berlanga. The epic showdown is scheduled for Saturday, September 14th at the iconic T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Alvarez, who holds a 61-2-2 record with 39 KOs, recently defeated fellow Mexican fighter Jaime Munguia in May. Canelo will defend his WBC, WBO and WBA super middleweight titles against the undefeated Berlanga. However, a major belt will not be on the table after Canelo was stripped of his IBF super middleweight belt after choosing to fight Berlanga instead of the IBF’s No. 1 contender, William Scull.

Edgar Berlanga, with a record of 22-0 and 17 KOs, is on the verge of his first title fight, a moment that boxing fans have been eagerly awaiting. The 27-year-old boxer from Brooklyn, known for his explosive start on the professional circuit with 16 first-round knockouts, is now preparing to face the experienced Alvarez. His most recent fight in February ended in a knockout, which has further fueled the excitement for this upcoming fight.

Here’s everything you need to know about the can’t-miss Canelo-Berlanga fight this weekend.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga Predictions

Sports News: Canelo UD 12

Tom Gray writes: “Canelo is adept defensively and he remains one of the best counterpunchers in world boxing. The champion excels against heavy hitters and always has, so it’s hard to predict Berlanga will have success here. History tells us that you have to outwork Canelo (Mayweather, Bivol, Golovkin 1) and take control of the fight. No one expects Berlanga to finesse the Mexican icon and win on points. Canelo hasn’t had a stoppage win in almost four years, so the choice is an absolutely dominant 12-round unanimous decision.”

Former boxer Bernard Hopkins: Supports Canelo Alvarez

DAZN reported that Hopkins told Little Green Giant Boxing: “Canelo will get the knockout in six or seven rounds. I’m going for Canelo. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Anything can happen, right? But if you ask me who I’m going for if I have to bet money, Canelo all day.”

American boxer Regis Prograis: Canelo

Regis Prograis told Boxing News: “I think it’s an easy fight. Berlanga is, you know, I mean, I think he’s, he’s very limited. He’s, he’s okay, but he’s very limited. You’re talking about Canelo. Man, Canelo is, I mean, you for me, you always have to look at the mindset. Man, look at who Canelo fought. You know, he fought GGG three times. He fought Bivol. He fought Lara. Canelo fought James Kirkland, everybody… He fought Floyd Mayweather. He fought Cotto. I mean, now that you’re talking about Edgar Berlanga, come on, man, it’s, it’s like, it’s a big difference.”
