The 34-year-old Alvarez has won titles in four divisions, and he’s coming off a unanimous decision victory over Jaime Munguia in May. Since his loss to Dmitry Bivol in May 2022 challenging for a light heavyweight title, Alvarez has won four consecutive fights, all by unanimous decisions.
Saul Alvarez
Mexican boxer does not need a special introduction, Alvarez is considered one of the best fighters regardless of the category. Even such a fighter is much criticized, as he chooses his own opponents, which is quite logical for a star of this level. Separately, it should be noted that “Canelo” is successful financially, he earns more than 100 million dollars on average per year thanks to the sales of TV broadcasts.
In May of this year, Alvarez defeated fellow countryman Munguia by unanimous decision of the judges, defending all his belts, than inflicted on his opponent the first defeat of his career. Many are waiting for a fight with Benavides, although “Canelo” is in no hurry to share the ring with such a dangerous opponent. It’s too early to count the veteran boxer among the veterans, he’s 34 years old and still capable of dominating the division.
Edgar Berlanga
Although Berlanga is not as famous as his upcoming opponent, he is number one in the WBA rankings and has a considerable army of fans. Although Edgar is American, he comes to the ring with the flag of Puerto Rico. The fighter clearly dreamed of this fight, although we can’t say that he deserved it. Yes, Berlanga has no defeats, but at the same time it is impossible to remember and significant victories.
The fighter is 27 years old, he has power, experience, and character, but that may not be enough to beat a fighter of this caliber. No one believes Berlanga can outbox Alvarez, his main chance is the puncher’s punch, which he undoubtedly possesses. The boxer won his first 16 fights as a pro by knockout in the opening rounds, but then there was only one early win in six fights.
