Can Edgar Berlanga really stand a chance against the legendary Canelo Alvarez? What do you think?

It will be a different fight for Edgar Berlanga, who is used to soaking in pressure and letting his punches flow. He has done it every time he stepped inside the squared circle. But this time, he stands across a champion, who knows how to deal damage and how to counter every punch thrown at him. Speed, skills, power, and age difference don’t deter him. So, will the New York native find a way to pierce through Canelo Alvarez‘s impenetrable defense and a way to defuse his precise counters?

It is the fight for the unified super middleweight crown, and it doesn’t get more interesting. With the storyline of the Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry and the undefeated, heavy-handed challenger taking on the champion converging, the fight is a treat to watch. If you want to catch the action, without missing an exchange, then EssentiallySports has you covered.

The thrilling undercard of Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga

Erislandy Lara vs. Danny Garcia; WBA middleweight title

Danny Garcia is back into boxing’s fold, and he harbors ambitions to become a three-division champion, as he takes on Erislandy Lara. However, ‘Swift’ finds himself against the odds, after a layoff of over two years. Lara’s dominant displays in the recent past also don’t work in his favor. So, he faces an uphill task, but this isn’t the first time he has had his back against the wall. And it won’t be long before Lara’s age catches up to him. But whose body will give up early? That’s something fans will find out tonight.

Caleb Plant vs. Trevor McCumby; Interim WBA super middleweight title

Plant, 32, marks his return to the boxing ring after suffering the defeat to David Benavidez last year. While there might be concerns about his activity and ring rust, he has the opportunity to insert himself into the title conversation. The WBA interim super middleweight title will be up for grabs, with a shot at revenge on Alvarez in the future.

Demand for the rematch is not high, but it could be another compelling fight. But standing between his ambition is McCumby, who steps up to the biggest fight of his career. Despite being an underdog, he is brimming with confidence and looks set to cause an upset.

Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero vs. Manuel Jaimes

Romero, 28, is making his return after dropping the fight and his WBA super lightweight gold to Isaac Cruz. The trash-talking, explosive fighter will try to return to the winning ways against Jaimes and once again rise to the top and fight the new champion, Jose Valenzuela.
