“I was telling him that he’s my idol,” Berlanga says when asked about his long exchange with Álvarez after the fight. “And it sucks that before I even got to speak to him – usually fighters get to have an interaction before they fight – it was just, we got the fight and we signed the contract. I was just telling that he’s my idol, since I was a kid I was looked up to him, and I felt kind of bad that we had to give bad blood to each other before the first time meeting. [I’d have liked] to give thanks because I looked up to him.
“I watched him growing up, when I was an amateur going into the pros, and I just want to thank him for the opportunity. He’s at that level where he could pick and choose his fighters. He’s a king, So he went and chose a Puerto Rican fighter and I just want to give thanks to him for that, man. I humbly say that: thank you, Team Canelo.”
