Trainer Stephen Edwards believes Canelo Alvarez will want to inflict pain on challenger Edgar Berlanga on September 14 for his back-and-forth in the build-up to their clash at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Edwards predicts a leisurely and painful beat
Edwards believes super middleweight champion Canelo (61-2-2, 39 KOs) will deliberately drag out the beating for ten or eleven rounds to “destroy” Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) as a fighter and teach him a lesson.
Berlanga has been talking like a maniac lately, saying he will knock Canelo out in the sixth round and become the novel king of the 168-pound division. He doesn’t sound like he’s joking.
Berlanga, 27, is looking to utilize his youth, size and strength advantages to knock out Canelo and become the novel super middleweight contender.
Berlanga knows that defeating Canelo could be a huge win for him, as a win would allow him to earn a rematch and defend his titles against the likes of David Benavidez, Jaime Munguia and Caleb Plant.
Berlanga’s History of Soiled Tactics
Edwards also believes Berlanga will be deliberately disqualified to avoid embarrassment if the fight becomes one-sided and Canelo beats him.
Stephen says he saw Berlanga resort to filthy tricks when fights weren’t going his way, and he sees him resort to them when Canelo started pounding him.
While he doesn’t provide examples of incidents where Berlanga used filthy laundry, he’s likely referring to his June 2022 fight with Roamer Alexis Angulo at the Hula Theater in Novel York City. When the fight was going badly for him, Berlanga apparently tried to bite his arm. Berlanga was suspended for six months for the incident.
“I think Canelo is going to try to torture him. I think because of his mouth and everything else,” trainer Stephen Edwards told MillCity Boxing YouTube channel by choosing Canelo Alvarez, who will make challenger Edgar Berlanga suffer on September 14 due to his trash talk.
In order for the 34-year-old Canelo to slowly torture Berlanga, he’ll have to be willing to take a lot of the ponderous punches he throws at him, and that’s risky. Berlanga is a bigger puncher than anyone Canelo has faced since his trilogy with Gennady Golovkin in 2022. It’s not a good idea for Canelo to spare such a powerful guy just to slowly wear him down.
“I think he’s going to try to torture him and beat him all over, just destroy him and beat him up. [stuffing] I think he’s going to try to destroy him. I think he’s going to try to carry him and try to beat him for 10 or 11 rounds and really hurt the kid.
Edwards predicts disqualification
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Berlanga was disqualified and he didn’t want to be ashamed of being ruined like that in front of his family and friends. I saw him bite people [Alexis Roamer Angulo?] earlier and I saw him make some comments. He’s the kind of guy that I wouldn’t be surprised if he lost his frosty and did something filthy,” Edwards said.
Given the stakes in this fight, it is unlikely that Berlanga will try to get Canelo disqualified, as there is too much money at stake if he wins. He will want to stay in the ring as long as possible, hoping for a knockout.
“No offense to Berlanga. Munguia is the better fighter. So I think Canelo had a real fight that night and he had to be careful because the guy has really good stamina and he was determined. He had a really good fight even though Canelo beat him. I think it’s a different fight and I think Munguia has to be careful,” Edwards said.
It didn’t look like Canelo showed any sympathy for Munguia in May. He couldn’t knock the guy out because he didn’t have the stamina to fight consistently enough to finish him.
When Canelo knocked Munguia down in the fourth round, he looked tired as he tried to finish him off. The only reason Munguia couldn’t get in was because he was too constrained and looked like a large fighter who wasn’t living up to his potential.
After the boxing legend’s defeat, a video has been circulating online showing Mike Tyson allegedly crying during his fight with Jake Paul.
World Boxing News obtained a copy of the clip despite not watching the fight due to the nature of the 27-year-old YouTuber beating up on the 58-year-old boxing legend. However, the incident was captured during the rounds when Tyson made what appeared to be a whimper while sitting on a stool.
Since then, debate has raged over whether Tyson actually screamed or just felt pain for a split second, causing him to wince. After reviewing the evidence, it’s difficult to be sure, considering Tyson has openly talked about crying in the past.
One fan said, “Tyson was crying like a baby,” while another said, “Mike was just catching his breath,” offering differing opinions.
Paul defeated Tyson on points over ten rounds as the former heavyweight champion paced around the ring, looking lost at times. Netflix broadcast the event amid groans from fans over the broadcast quality as Tyson lost for the seventh time in his career and couldn’t get out of fifth gear.
Tyson spoke out after his most humiliating defeat, explaining that he almost didn’t make it to the ring. The Fresh Yorker was content to be able to climb between the ropes one last time.
“It’s one of those situations where you lost but you still won. I’m grateful for last night. I don’t regret entering the ring for the last time,” Tyson wrote. “I almost died in June. He had eight blood transfusions. I lost half my blood and 25 pounds in the hospital and had to fight to get better to fight, so I won.
“My children seeing me stand shoulder to shoulder and finish eight innings with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy Stadium is an experience no man could ask for,” he once said. .
Tyson told his fans on FOX Sports Radio last week that he doesn’t remember much about the loss.
“I don’t remember that fight very well. But somehow I lost consciousness. I didn’t watch the fight,” he said. “You know what I remember, when I came back from the first round, Jake was doing some kind of bow. That’s the last thing I remember.”
On what he did after the defeat, Tyson added: “I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t sweaty. I went to the house where we lived. I went out with my wife and kids, went to the after-party and came back.”

Tyson Fury isn’t holding back on his desire for revenge against Oleksandr Usyk as the pair collided on Saturday night.
Fury aims to win the unified heavyweight title for the first time in nine years when he faces current champion Usyk six months after his first loss to the Ukrainian.
As the pair completed media formalities for the superfight, Fury made it clear how the fight would end.
“For the record, I’m going to absolutely annihilate this motherfucker on Saturday night. No pension. I will neat them all and he will be the first,” Fury assured.
Asked if he would try to do to Usyk what he did to Deontay Wilder in the rematch, Fury replied: “It was a long time ago” in reference to the 2020 knockout.
“[I’m] I’m not sure [if that Tyson Fury is there anymore]. Perhaps it has evaporated. Who knows? The legs may disappear. China may no longer exist. Boxing skills can be shot. We’ll find out on the 21st. That’s why you need to tune in to the pay-per-view on DAZN. Come and see whether the venerable dance master still understands it or not.
Referring to the training camp in Malta, Fury added: “[The] The weather is different, of course, but training is training, no matter where you are. These are very mundane, routine things. This happens again and again.
“For me, it doesn’t really matter where the camp is. I’ve attended camps in Vegas, Spain, everywhere, and I’m one of those people who doesn’t get distracted and gets the job done anyway. That’s what I do.
“If I were to train in a nightclub, I wouldn’t dance around the disco in the evening. I would just train.
