Trainer Predicts Canelo Alvarez Will Inflict Pain on Edgar Berlanga

Trainer Stephen Edwards who works closely with his fighter Canelo Alvarez is sure that on September 14th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, his fighter will give Edgar Berlanga a prolonged and painful beating. According to Edwards, Alvarez, 61-2-2 (39 KOs), will let Berlanga utter those arrogant words and then extend the fight into the ten or eleven rounds to neutralize him.

This anticipation has been occasioned by Berlanga’s arrogant statements in recent times, where Berlanga thinks that he will knock out Canelo in the sixth round and ascend to the throne to become the new king of the super middleweight division. According to Edwards, he also sees Berlanga’s arrogance and wants to give him the necessary punishment in this regard. Edward was sure enough on his line of thinking that Canelo would outclass his opponent in no time. let’s dive into the story to know the Super middleweight icon trainer’s perspective.

A Planned Beating

Stephan Edwards believes that Canelo Alvarez will take the fight to the later rounds, to the range of ten to eleven rounds, with the aim of ‘spoiling’ Berlanga. Berlanga has been very vocal, in an interview he said that he will win him by the sixth round and become the king of the super middleweight division. Edwards regards that as a tactical blunder by him to take on Berlanga for his arrogant comments.

Berlanga, 27 years old, wants to follow in the footsteps of Canelo Alvarez and knock him out in a bid to have a well-paying spot as a super middleweight fighter. A victory against him would also improve his ranks to the level of fighters such as Benavidez, Munguia as well and Caleb Plant therefore leading to more match options for a fighter of his caliber.

Edwards also considers that in case of a fight turning one-sided Berlanga might dirty himself to escape shame. He mentioned Berlanga’s bad manners in the ring during a heated bout against Roamer Alexis Angulo in June, this year where he was docked for attempting to bite Angulo. More to it, Edwards is concerned that Berlanga could emulate such behavior if he is overwhelmed by his attack.

Canelo Alvarez’s Strategy and Risks

Berlanga punches hard so it is expected that 34-year-old Canelo Alvarez will take many strong punches from the young Spaniard. Edwards admits that even though he intends to break Berlanga down the latter presents a danger because of his punching power. However, if he avoids his tendency to apply pressure in a manner that tortures Berlanga, then he could get eaten alive.

Berlanga is compared to Jaime Munguia by Edwards, but Munguia was a very hard opponent even though he delved into him. Berlanga fought hard to land his punches and was a uniter when facing Maidana, just like he, Munguia wilted from fatigue before he could finish Berlanga.

Conclusion

An example of this energy is Stephen Edwards’s confident assertion about how Canelo Alvarez will approach the fight with Edgar Berlanga. The match has all the makings of an explosive contest as many expect him to dominate the fight further and punish Berlanga relentlessly; all this, however, makes Berlanga cocky in his boasts. Though the ambitions of Berlanga to capture the super middleweight division might be lofty, the real test will be against a seasoned champion Alvarez.

When the fight night comes, the fans and experts will be waiting to see whether Alvarez will follow Edwards’ prediction or not, and whether Berlanga can indeed take the hit that is expected of him or not prove all the critics wrong.
