This weekend, September 14th, all eyes will be on Las Vegas as Canelo Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs) defends his undisputed super middleweight championship against the undefeated Edgar Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) in what promises to be one of the most thrilling boxing matchups of the year. With so much on the line, this fight has the makings of an instant classic, and Fight.TV is here to break it down.
Canelo Alvarez: The Reigning King
Canelo Alvarez has long reigned supreme as one of boxing’s pound-for-pound best. At 33, the Mexican superstar has captured titles across multiple divisions, most notably cementing his legacy in the super middleweight division by becoming the undisputed champion. Known for his extraordinary ring IQ, ferocious body shots, and lethal power, Canelo has stopped 39 of his opponents in his 61 career wins. His resume reads like a who’s who of boxing greats, including victories over Gennadiy Golovkin, Miguel Cotto, and Sergey Kovalev.
Coming off a dominant victory over John Ryder earlier this year, Canelo is once again ready to show the world why he remains the king of the super middleweights. But this time, he faces a young, hungry challenger in Berlanga, who has been steadily climbing the ranks with a perfect record.
Edgar Berlanga: The Rising Star
At 26, Edgar Berlanga is one of boxing’s brightest rising stars. Dubbed “The Chosen One,” Berlanga boasts a perfect record of 22-0, with 17 of those wins coming by knockout. Berlanga’s power is undeniable—he started his career with 16 consecutive first-round knockouts, quickly earning a reputation as a fearsome puncher.
However, this will be Berlanga’s first time on the big stage, facing a legend like Canelo. For Berlanga, this fight is not just about a title—it’s about proving he belongs among the sport’s elite. A win over Canelo would catapult him into superstardom and solidify his place as a true force in the super middleweight division.
What’s at Stake
This fight carries massive implications for both fighters. For Canelo, it’s about maintaining his undisputed status and continuing to add to his already illustrious legacy. He has nothing left to prove, but every fight for Canelo is an opportunity to enhance his Hall of Fame career. A loss, however, would be a monumental upset that could mark the beginning of a changing of the guard in the division.
For Berlanga, this fight is everything. It’s the chance to not only capture the undisputed super middleweight title but also to hand Canelo just his third career loss. Berlanga’s perfect record is on the line, and a victory here would immediately elevate him to the upper echelons of boxing. The pressure is immense, but it’s clear that Berlanga isn’t shying away from the challenge.
Power vs. Power
Both fighters bring knockout power to the ring, making this a can’t-miss event for fans of explosive action. Canelo has recorded 39 knockouts in his career, while Berlanga has amassed 17. Though Canelo’s experience and technical skills may give him the edge, Berlanga’s raw power and relentless aggression make him a dangerous opponent.
This fight could very well come down to who can land the bigger shots and whether Berlanga can withstand Canelo’s relentless body attack. Canelo’s ability to adjust mid-fight will be a critical factor, but Berlanga’s youth and hunger cannot be underestimated.
A Fight for the Ages
With Canelo Alvarez defending his undisputed super middleweight crown and Edgar Berlanga putting his unbeaten record on the line, this is shaping up to be one of the most exciting fights of 2024. Can Berlanga pull off the upset and shock the world, or will Canelo once again prove that he is untouchable?
