Puerto Rico and Mexico have a long-standing rivalry in the boxing world. These two countries have produced some of the top boxers in the history of the sport. Two fighters from these countries, Canelo Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga, will fight on the Mexican Independence Day next month, September 14th. Ahead of the fight, fans enjoyed a bizarre, humorous, and exciting pre-fight press conference. Moreover, a boxing analyst had forewarned Berlanga about its outcome, which could land him in dire straits!

Boxing pundit ‘ShowBizz The Adult’ explained in an Instagram video that Berlanga wasn’t expected to behave the way he did during the press conference. Keep reading to find out what transpired during the presser that made ShowBizz put out a video for it.

ShowBizz’s prediction comes true 

Before the press conference began, Berlanga attempted to strike up a casual conversation with Canelo. It should go without saying that you shouldn’t become too close to someone if you plan to fight them shortly. According to ShowBizz, the Puerto Rican was behaving like a “sweetipie” toward Canelo and seemed to be trying to be respectful. However, he then started acting aggressively out of nowhere, which enraged Alvarez. ShowBizz believes that Berlanga shouldn’t have shown Canelo respect either before or during the bout. He asserts that the Mexican then had no respect for him and went on to give a befitting reply to Berlanga for a certain thing the Puerto Rican did. 

The boxing pundit went on to explain, “And when he (Berlanga) was trying to be a sweetie pie, and said he had dreams about him, Canelo didn’t respect him. So when Berlanga tried to turn up, Canelo didn’t believe him anymore.” The super middleweight king saw right away that Berlanga’s earlier displays of respect were fake as he began talking trash out of the blue and even implied that Canelo’s previous opponents didn’t have better IQ than him.

Interestingly, there was another fighter present at the time of the incident, and Berlanga made an unnecessary attempt to disrespect him. Come on in, Canelo. The Mexican boxer just pulled off something so elegantly that made ShowBizz and boxing fans go crazy.

Canelo Alvarez strikes when the iron is hot

Alvarez’s former opponent Caleb Plant was also present at the press conference. As the heated talk between Alvarez and Berlanga was going on, out of nowhere, Berlanga pointed to Plant and said, “Not gonna end up like that, fu*k n***a over there, got knocked out.” Plant lost his temper and angrily started abusing him. Alvarez interfered and said, “Caleb, take it easy, I’m gonna take care of him,” and the audience quickly started cheering for the Mexican’s witty reply.  

Canelo found it disrespectful, as Berlanga called out Plant. ShowBizz lauded Canelo for this and stated, “Canelo was like, ‘dont worry I got it’. So then when he tried to get mad, Canelo said, if I whoop you right now, I’ll mess the money up. He said, but when we fight (pam, pam….throws punches in the air to tell that he’ll smash him). You gotta love Canelo for that one bro.”

Well, the presser quickly caught the attention of fans and they loved the rivalry between Alvarez and Berlanga. What do you think about ShowBizz’s take on the situation? Share it in the comments below.
