Let me just be the first to say how God awful this fight is it's literally a crime to let this happen.

It will take a miracle from Berlanga.

Eddie can hope for world peace but he knows what's up, and (spoiler alert)......

IT'S NOT WINNING!.

"And this is the most confident and bullish I’ve been . . . "

Yeah, ok, Eddie we believe you.

Eddie went from usually saying Canelo is a great boxer to a good boxer.

Like Canelo or not, you don't get to where he is by merely being a 'good' boxer, but by being way above average.

Hearn is a smart cat. He milked Canelo's high profile very well by putting in front of him a bunch of stiffs that got nice paydays. The fans paid well.

No he's not... He knows Berlanga has ZERO chance so is effectively feeding him to the sharks with Diego Pacheco waiting in the wings who he'll again make a nice coin off.

It is highly unlikely that Berlanga wins, but anything can happen after the first bell of the fight. There have been too many upsets to say Berlanga has ZERO chance...

Eddy is running out of canon fodder. Foreign not domestic? UK had 168 lock, but Eddy fixed it. Canelo has him shook.
