Bradley predicts Canelo to make an example out of Berlanga

Tim Bradley says Canelo Alvarez will make an “example” of Edgar Berlanga by beating him on Sept. 14 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Commentator Bradley feels that Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) lacks the experience to match WBC/WBO super middleweight champion Canelo (61-2-2, 39 KOs), but he hit the lottery by choosing become

Disappointment with Canelo’s Choice

Bradley, who is ranked high on Terence Crawford, would have preferred to get the fight, even though he doesn’t fight at 168 and would be moving up two weight divisions with no ranking or experience in the division.

Berlanga doesn’t rate a title shot, but he deserves the fight with Canelo more than Crawford because at least he’s fighting at super middleweight and the WBA is mandatory.

Canelo-Berlanga will be featured live on DAZN PPV in an event with an undercard loaded with famous fighters, such as Danny Garcia, Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, Erislandy Lara and Caleb Plant.

“Canelo is looking for fish that has already been fried. I like Berlanga. Congratulations, Berlanga. You hit the lottery. It’s a fight you can’t resist,” Tim Bradley told the Title Sports Network YouTube channel about the Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga fight on September 14th. “From the skill point of where he is now in his career, I just think Canelo is going to be too much for him. He’s going to get paid to get his (backside) hoped for.”

Canelo fought many uncooked fish still in their prime, such as Gennadiy Golovkin, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Erislandy Lara, Miguel Cotto, Dmitry Bivol and Austin Trout, to name a few.

“He’s only faced guys he knows he can pick, but I’m going to give him credit for Munguia. Munguia was a dangerous guy on his way up. He worked his way up to this position. It was a good fight for Canelo, Munguia because everyone wanted to see him against a younger fighter. He tore up his (bacisde), and he’s going to do the same thing to Berlanga,” Bradley said.

Berlanga’s “Puncher’s Chance”

There is a bit of bitterness with Bradley, who still appears Canelo didn’t fight Crawford or David Benavidez. These are two fights that Bradley wanted Canelo to fight, and it annoys him that he was chosen not to face either. Canelo doesn’t need to fight Crawford because he isn’t willing to move up to 168 to earn the fight like normal fighters do by beating the top contenders. Canelo doesn’t need to fight someone who just wants a handout.

“He’s going to tear him apart. He’s a young guy, but he doesn’t have the experience. I don’t think Berlanga can beat Munguia. When I heard Berlanga say, ‘My IQ is better.’ Are you kidding me? You better stop. You have a puncher’s chance, and Canelo has a granite chin. You better hope the chin isn’t as big as it has been in the past. Canelo is going to use him as an example, and he’s going to abuse him in the fight,” Bradley said.

You can’t rule out Berlanga pulling off an upset in this fight because he has the strength, youth, size and motivation to win. Being young and having the size advantage counts for a lot. Canelo is coming off a tough fight against Jaime Munguia last May, and we don’t know what that fight brought out of him. Munguia hit him hard in the second half of the fight, and he looked exhausted during the championship rounds.

“He’s not going to show any kind of mercy in the right-hand side. So, Berlanga better be ready. He’s getting paid for a (backside) hoop,” Bradley said.

Berlanga says he doesn’t want Canelo’s mercy because he won’t show him anything if he hurt him. The idea of ​​fighters showing mercy to their opponents makes no sense in the sport.
