Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga is set to take place during the Mexican Independence Day weekend, but it's not the highly anticipated matchup fans were hoping for. Instead of facing David Benavidez, Canelo opted to fight Berlanga, a move that appears more financially driven than competitive.
Berlanga, with a record of 22-0 and 17 KOs, lacks the experience and skill level to pose a significant threat to Canelo. While Berlanga has shown promise, his resume doesn't compare to Canelo's extensive track record against top-tier opponents.
