Canelo Álvarez is spending his Saturday doing what he usually does around the time of Mexican Independence Day: headlining a big-time pay-per-view card. His opponent this time: undefeated challenger Edgar Berlanga.
It’s been three years since Álvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs) united the super middleweight titles and he has since defended the group four times with unanimous-decision wins against Gennadiy Golovkin, John Ryder, Jermell Charlo and Jaime Munguía. He is heavily favored to take care of business against Berlanga, to the point that the biggest question is what he’ll do next.
Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) isn’t a nothing opponent, though, and all it could take is one big punch from the 27-year-old to shock the boxing world.

Lara mentally beat down Garcia tonight. When the hunger to fight is not there anymore and the willingness to TRY to find a way to win is gone it might be time to hang them up! #boxing
Danny Garcia with one of the most pathetic performances of all time – absolute quit job. Pin me, pay me, just give me my check so I can go home #BOXING
