It has been a comedy of errors in the combat sports world. As the Canelo Alvarez vs Edgar Berlanga headliner event butted heads with UFC 306 (Noche UFC) event, the showrunners of both fight cards had one howler after another.

Starting with the marquee boxing event, the graphics department of the broadcasting team did not seem to have ample fact checkers as they messed up the boxing records of key fighters like Stephen Fulton and Rolando Romero. Meanwhile, down the street, at the UFC event in the Sphere, a mix-up occurred when two-division undisputed champion Terence Crawford was mistakenly identified as rapper Kendrick Lamar in an on-screen graphic. Now, the latest careless error committed in the realm of boxing surrounding the Canelo-Berlanga event will blow your mind.

This time, Canelo’s former promotional company Matchroom Boxing is the culprit. In a post on X, even though the company’s X handle congratulated Canelo in the captions, the graphics below seemed to suggest otherwise. It committed the grievous error of declaring Edgar Berlanga as the new unified super-middleweight champion. For those who are just tuning in to know the results of the fight, Berlanga was well and truly dominated on the night by Canelo, ultimately winning the fight via unanimous decision.

The Canelo-Berlanga marquee boxing event came to a close with the ‘face of boxing’ successfully defending his super middleweight titles for the fifth consecutive time. “I did good. Now what are they going to say? They said I don’t fight young fighters. They always talk, but I’m the best fighter in the world,” Alvarez proclaimed boldly during the in-ring interview.

Interestingly, this is the fifth fight in a row that Canelo has gone the distance with his opponent. Although Canelo knocked Berlanga down in the third round, he couldn’t finish the fight before the final bell rang. Meanwhile, the fans had a field day reacting to the carelessness of Matchroom Boxing’s social media team that mistakenly tried to take the credit away from Canelo’s win.

Should the mistake by Matchroom boxing be forgiven?

One fan found the goof-up by the Matchroom team hilarious. They simply commented, “Lmao yikes.” Safe to say, it’s quite baffling that the graphics department could make such a glaring error.

Meanwhile, after witnessing Matchroom Boxing’s failed attempt to congratulate their rival promotion – PBC’s fighter, a user commented, “Keep your enemies close they said!” It must also be noted that Canelo Alvarez used to be the former charge of Matchroom Boxing. After a long stint with Eddie Hearn and DAZN, the Mexican boxing icon dropped Eddie Hearn for Al Haymon after the John Ryder fight last year.

One user mocked Matchroom Boxing for later deleting the post declaring Berlanga as the new unified super middleweight champion. They commented, “Nice delete there!” Thankfully, Matchroom Boxing deleted the post before it came to Canelo Alvarez’s notice who probably would have had a few choice words to say to his former promotion.

Meanwhile, another fan was “surprised” that the Canelo-Berlanga fight went the full distance. They commented, “Only surprise was that it went all 12.” Although Berlanga was treated like a punching bag by Canelo in the entire fight, he couldn’t find the knockout punch. Nevertheless, he did manage a knockdown in the third round, though.

What do you think of the litany of glaring errors committed in the marquee boxing event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, as well as the UFC event in the Sphere? Moreover, did you expect Canelo Alvarez to knock out Edgar Berlanga? Let us know in the comment section below.
