Canelo gased out at the end. That high altitude training and still gasing out. He was happy the fight ended and hugged Berlanga of joy that it did.

I don’t understand how you can have that level of size, youth, and strength advantage and not press the action. I have no idea what berlanga thought he was doing with retreating to the ropes and the corner

Berlanga sucks. He has terrible ring IQ, overrated power and has never fought a top fighter. He fought in a crouch all night and negated his height advantage, backed himself into corners over and over, and his defense is amateurish.

If there was one guy there all night for Canelo to KO, it was fricking Berlanga. And instead Canelo ate a bunch of hard jabs, looked more beat up than Berlanga did and he was so gassed that he actually thought that the 10 second warning was the bell and walked to his corner. If anyone needs more proof of Berlanga sucking, he had a free sucker punch and didnt even land that.

Canelo isn't beating any top fighters again. Benavidez would KO Berlanga and he would beat the h e l l out of Saul.

I give Berlanga more props than I give him before. Now that Berlanga vs Plant looks interesting.

He sounds like 45 after the debate.

Berlanga was hand picked. He wasnt ready in any way to compete with Canelo. He didnt deserve the fight, but it's boxing, you get a shot you take it. He was lost in the ring. He didnt have the power, the ring iq or the boxing ability to beat Canelo and it showed. Canelo will keep hand picking these guys and he will keep winning. Thats just how it is.

He should have picked his IBF Mandatory Scull, right.
But he ended picking the WBA Mandotory.

Now his WBO Mandotory is Pacheco and the WBC is Mbilli. Which one should he "pick"?

I’d rather watch a rematch of Plant and Canelo.
