Although Vergil Ortiz will have adequately trained for it, and indeed one day expected it, still nothing can fully prepare a puncher for the first time their opponent soaks up everything they throw at them and hardly blinks. It is usually in this moment the puncher confronts self-doubt and wonders if it is even possible to win a fight without having made some sort of impression on or dent in the opponent in front of them. It is during this moment, too, that we sometimes see the puncher succumb to the panic and nervous energy and either punch themselves out in an effort to punch through this anxiety or simply collapse, often dramatically.

Berlanga’s Prediction: Canelo to Fall in Six

Oscar De La Hoya publicly criticized Canelo Alvarez for his recent actions, emphasizing the boxer is making poor choices in his career. Tensions escalated during a press conference in May 2024, leading De La Hoya to label Canelo “arrogant” for refusing to engage with Riyadh Season’s Turki Alalshikh. Despite Canelo's success in extending his winning streak to four, De La Hoya believes the fighter is avoiding key matches, notably against David Benavidez, and is siding with UFC over boxing's promotional interests. This dispute comes as Canelo prepares for his upcoming fight against Edward Berlanga on September 14, 2024.
