Watch: Canelo vs Berlanga – Have To Be Separated Intense Stare Off

Canelo and Berlanga Have To Be Separated At 1st Meeting

Canelo vs Berlanga what a fight, they clearly don’t like one another and you can see the Mexico vs Puerto Rico rivalry straight away.

That’s always a healthy thing between the two countries of course who in reality are actually great friends, more frequently then not.

Alas, when it comes to boxing though and specifically world title professional championship bouts involving their Mexican and Puerto Rican sons — things always get heated:

It is understandable some boxing fans are a little disappointed that Canelo is not fighting Benavidez yet.

But let’s be real this fight against Berlanga is a quality fight.

Berlanga is much younger, is undefeated and represents the biggest puncher Canelo will have fought other than Dmitry Bivol.

Berlanga can really crack and he’ll be looking to take Canelo’s head off from round one.

Alvarez will oblige him in that regard.

The result will be worthwhile for fight fans tuning in.

The great thing about this fight too is they announced it the month before it is actually happening.

A very enjoyable and refreshing thing to see in promotions sometimes, as fans don’t have to wait long for the event as it is only next month now.

It is actually a very smart way of selling a fight in boxing or combat sports — not just in professional sport either.

Long, tedious press tours spanning over many months can put fighters off their training camps too.
