Edgar Berlanga, the Puerto Rican fighter set to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his WBC and WBO super middleweight championships, has boldly predicted a knockout victory over the Mexican superstar. Berlanga confidently stated during a press conference that he aims to knock out Canelo in the sixth round of their upcoming match at T-Mobile Arena.
While Berlanga's prediction may seem ambitious, it is worth noting that Canelo Alvarez has established himself as a formidable opponent throughout his career, with just two losses in 65 fights. Alvarez has also displayed exceptional durability, having been hurt only once in a fight against Jose Miguel Cotto back in 2010.
Despite Berlanga's impressive record of 22-0 with 17 knockouts, all within six rounds, he faces a significant challenge in Canelo, who is heavily favored to win the bout. Many believe that a knockout may be Berlanga's best chance at victory on Saturday night.
Aside from the highly anticipated main event, the undercard features notable matchups such as Erislandy Lara vs. Danny Garcia, Caleb Plant vs. Trevor McCumby, Rolly Romero vs. Manuel Jaimes, Stephen Fulton vs. Carlos Castro, and Roiman Villa vs. Ricardo Salas.
