Edgar Berlanga is committed to winning over Canelo Alvarez and causing significant damage to him in their upcoming main event clash at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on September 14th. Canelo, who holds the titles of WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight champion with a record of 61 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, along with 39 knockouts, taunted Berlanga, the challenger with a record of 22 wins, 0 losses, and 17 knockouts, during their recent press conference in Los Angeles, provoking a heated response from Berlanga.
Canelo believes that Berlanga is intimidated by him, pointing out signs of nervousness during their face-to-face encounter. However, Berlanga, proud of his Puerto Rican roots, maintains that he is not afraid of anyone, especially not Canelo. In the Los Angeles press conference, Berlanga made it clear that he lacks fear and cautioned Canelo against underestimating him.
Berlanga raises a valid point regarding Canelo’s perception of the fight as an easy victory, considering Berlanga’s limited ring experience and absence of significant wins. He stressed that genuine fighting spirit and respect towards others, not money and arrogance, define a true fighter, traits he believes Canelo lacks. While Berlanga acknowledges his strength, he must be wary of Canelo’s capabilities and seize any opportunities that arise during the bout.
Irrespective of the fight’s outcome, Berlanga stands to secure a substantial purse, potentially securing his financial future. He aspires to amass wealth for future generations, attain stardom, and explore opportunities in sponsorships, endorsements, and acting. However, he must exercise financial prudence to prevent reckless spending that could deplete his earnings.
Berlanga perceives the upcoming fight as a chance to realize his childhood aspirations and unlock new avenues for career advancement. Regardless of the fight’s result, Berlanga appears poised for triumph in the boxing realm.
