Considering Canelo has so much wear and tear on his body I would not be surprised at all.

Yes I would be shocked. Berlanga moves like he's trapped in quicksand. He telegraphs his punches, he's slow and gets hit. This should be an easy win for Canelo. -
berlanga has no chance of winning, hes getting stopped most likely later rounds
all fighters have wear and tear from the sportComment

Yes. I would be completely surprised.
I agree with Smash that he has no chance of winning.Comment

It wouldn’t be a Tyson/Douglas style upset, but considering there hasn’t been an outcry this vocal over a Canelo opponent since Yldrim perhaps, this would be a big win.
It would without a doubt top Garcia toppling Haney, even if it’s by a close decision.
If (GALAXY-SIZED IF) he were able to spark Canelo out with a single punch this site is going to crash and once it’s up and running again by Sunday afternoon I will never hear the end of it.

hes physically strong but how many physically strong guys has canelo fought? will be nothing new to canelo. Berlanga is way out of his depths. This is the equivalent of going from the kiddie pool to deep cave divingComment

I might put it at the Tyson Douglas level. It would be interesting to compare the odds! When Mike fought Douglas he did have some issues, had not trained properly, etc... Douglas was motivated, had nothing to lose, and had a nice size and reach advantage. Berlanga is bigger than Canelo, But beyond that? Can he really even punch that hard?

One could probably say, with 20 20 hindsight: "Douglas could tire Mike out and keep him at the end of his jab all night." This is a way Douglas could always have perhaps won this fight... Despite how Douglas actually did win the fight lol, and despite the overwhelming odds that Mike would find him in the real estate of the ring... Ultimately Douglas did use his jab, reach and motivation to an extent, he just surprised with how much success he actually had.
But how could we say Berlanga wins this? Can he knock Canelo out? Even at his best sunday punch? Can he avoid Canelo? Does he have anything to keep Canelo off of him, aside from maybe being bigger? I just cannot see a path to even a very surprising performance by Berlanga.
It reminds me of the Chinese guy who puts all the fake Chinese Masters to sleep... You watch these various Tai Chi Masters, and imagine for a moment, their opponent was standing still, hands down, If even then, could they hit them with something resembling a punch... and the answer is "no" they could not. These guys literally do not know how to hit something with any impact... How could anyone give them a "path" to victory? I see this as analogous to Edgar's situation.

Watch this clip and imagine for a moment this Tai Chi Master could temporarily "paralyze" his opponent... Even then could he even throw a hard shot? lol?Last edited by billeau2; 09-05-2024, 01:11 PM.Comment

Yes. I'd be shocked , and kinda glad too. For me the best result would be an accidental headbutt that busted them both up causing a draw , unless there's some way that they could both lose. That would be my favorite, a double loss. A simultaneous KO would be great.Comment

If Berlanga somehow won, it will have to be from freak injury or some incredible physical decline of Canelo. I don't think the best version of Berlanga could beat any version of Canelo that we've seen thus far.Comment
