Tim Bradley says Canelo Alvarez will make an “instance” out of Edgar Berlanga by giving him a beating on September 14th on the T-Cell Area in Las Vegas.
Commentator Bradley feels that Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) lacks the expertise to be in there with WBC/WBO tremendous middleweight champion Canelo (61-2-2, 39 KOs), however he’s hit the lotto by getting chosen.
Disappointment with Canelo’s Alternative
Bradley, who’s excessive on Terence Crawford, would have most popular he get the struggle, regardless that he doesn’t struggle at 168 and could be transferring up two weight divisions with zero rating or expertise within the division.
Berlanga doesn’t fee a title shot, however he’s extra deserving of the struggle with Canelo than Crawford as a result of he a minimum of fights at tremendous middleweight and is the WBA obligatory.
Canelo-Berlanga might be proven dwell on DAZN PPV in an occasion that has an undercard loaded with well-known fighters, like Danny Garcia, Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, Erislandy Lara, and Caleb Plant.
“Canelo is searching for fish that was already fried. I like Berlanga. Congratulations, Berlanga. You hit the lotto. It’s a struggle which you could’t resist,” mentioned Tim Bradley to the Title Sports activities Community YouTube channel in regards to the Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga struggle on September 14th. “From the abilities level of the place he’s at in his profession proper now, I simply assume Canelo goes to be an excessive amount of for him. He’s going to receives a commission to get his [backside] whooped.”
Canelo has fought loads of unfried fish that have been nonetheless of their prime, like Gennadiy Golovkin, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto, Dmitry Bivol and Austin Trout, to call only a few.
“He’s solely been dealing with guys he is aware of he can decide on, however I’m going to provide him credit score for Munguia. Munguia was a harmful man on his method up. He labored his strategy to get to this place. That was a superb struggle for Canelo, Munguia, as a result of everybody needed to see him towards a youthful fighter. He tore his [bacisde] up, and he’s going to do the identical factor to Berlanga,” mentioned Bradley.
Berlanga’s “Puncher’s Probability”
There’s some bitterness with Bradley, who seems up nonetheless that Canelo didn’t struggle Crawford or David Benavidez. These are two fights that Bradley has needed Canelo to struggle, and it annoys him that he’s chosen to not face both. Canelo doesn’t need to struggle Crawford as a result of he’s not keen to maneuver as much as 168 to earn the match the best way regular fighters do by beating the highest contenders. Canelo shouldn’t need to struggle somebody that simply needs a handout.
“He’s going to tear him up. He’s a younger man, however he doesn’t have the expertise. I don’t assume Berlanga can beat Munguia. Once I hear Berlanga saying, ‘My IQ is healthier.’ Are you kidding me? You higher cease. You bought a puncher’s likelihood, and Canelo has received a granite chin. You higher hope that chin isn’t as nice because it’s been previously. Canelo goes to make use of him for instance, and he’s going to abuse him within the struggle,” mentioned Bradley.
You may’t rule out Berlanga pulling off an upset on this struggle as a result of he’s received the ability, youth, dimension, and motivation to win. Being younger and having the dimensions benefit counts for lots. Canelo is coming off of a tough struggle towards Jaime Munguia final Could, and we don’t know what that match took out of him. Munguia hit him quite a bit within the second half of the struggle, and he regarded exhausted in the course of the championship rounds.
“He’s not going to indicate no type of mercy in the fitting. So, Berlanga higher be prepared. He’s getting paid for a [backside] whooping,” mentioned Bradley.
Berlanga says he doesn’t need Canelo’s mercy as a result of he gained’t present him any if he has him damage. The concept of fighters displaying mercy to their opponents makes zero sense within the sport.
