DID BERLANGA JUST RUIN HIS BEST SHOT AT CANELO?
Kyrone Davis believes Edgar Berlanga may have sabotaged his chances of beating Canelo Alvarez by angering the Mexican superstar with trash talk ahead of their September 14th showdown at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Berlanga's decision to taunt Canelo has, according to Davis, only made the 34-year-old veteran more focused and dangerous.
Berlanga’s lack of experience at the elite level could prove to be his undoing. Despite an unbeaten record, many critics argue that his path to this fight has been paved with easy opponents, designed to build hype rather than genuinely test him. Davis suggests that Berlanga’s management rushed him into this fight, skipping over crucial development opportunities against tougher competition like David Morrell, David Benavidez, or Caleb Plant.
The real question is whether Berlanga can land the one big punch that could change the fight. Davis remains skeptical, citing Canelo's vast ring experience and high boxing IQ as major obstacles for the 27-year-old. Canelo has faced every style imaginable, and even if Berlanga lands a hard shot, Davis believes Canelo’s resilience and ability to adjust will see him through.
Moreover, Berlanga’s insistence that his ring IQ will be the key to victory seems like a hollow argument, especially against someone with Canelo’s experience. For Berlanga, the best strategy might have been to keep Canelo complacent, but the damage is already done. A motivated Canelo, as Davis points out, could mean a short night for Berlanga.
With tensions high and Canelo fired up, Davis predicts a six-round knockout victory for the Mexican champion. Whether Berlanga can defy the odds remains to be seen, but the consensus is that he’s in for the toughest test of his career..
