Berlanga is a terrible opponent. And then Erislandy Lara vs Danny Garcia on the undercard? Ugh.

Can’t believe anyone will pay for this. Amazon Prime should have made it a free show for subscribers.

Benavidez got KD'd by a guy named Ronald, then a long count that saved him until the final bell

And Canelo is still scared to death of him. Pathetic hey?

I won’t be paying for it, me and my friends are already on planning to watch the UFC that night. Canelo is not thinking clearly in fighting bumlanger when UFC is putting on a great card at the Sphere. I could care less about the Canelo fight. Boxing fans , or at least me have lost respect for him for clearly ducking Benavidez.

[Knuckle sandwich]

Berlanga deserves the opportunity; he has treated canelo with respect unlike benavidez, looks very much like the arm puncher benavidez will never get to fight canelo, oh well he was his own worse enemy.

Unfortunately now we're missing out on the biggest fight ever, Canelo vs Eubank Jr. Just kidding, of course.

Well, it's Mexico vs Puerto Rico, but it's not exactly Canelo vs Cotto is it. To be fair; that fight was very cagey, some sweet science, not for those who wanted a brawl, but this is a skilled sport, when top guys fight.

[Nightfall]

How is he a coward? The fact that you even need to ask tells me you're one of the zealots. Alvarez has spent two years avoiding his mandatory, lied that he doesn't want to fight Mexicans, then fought another Mexican, and has generally done everything in his power to avoid fighting the number one contender in the division. THAT, is why he's a coward.

He also use the price yourself out card to duck. He said that Benavidez hasn't done anything deserving, yet clenelo asked for $200 million. PS what did Yildirim do to get the fight

I'm not sure why all the hate , the dude has 16 first round knockouts that's ****ing impressive, just because he had a bad showing against the former ggg opponent , this is a good fight , regardless off what all the keyboard warrior s who have nevver got in the ring have to say lol David benavides is a hype job pushed by people who have no idea what they are seeing , poor sloppy technique and leaves himself wide open , I think the last mungai was a great fighter too , people are idiots a name is mentioned and they all hype it up , just because a guy doesn't have a name doesn't mean he can't ****ing fight

I've read every comment in this thread and what's the consensus?
This is a 50-50 pick 'em fight, right?
I dig the energy and excitement for these huge best vs best matchups.

/sarc off

Seriously, though, I wouldn't make it out of Round 1 with Berlanga, but that's just me.
Amazon really should bump this down from PPV to a 'free' broadcast. Wouldn't pay a dime for it.
