Former world champion and Ready to Fight ambassador Amir Khan exclusively shared his prediction for the upcoming bout between WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight champion (up to 76.2 kg) Saúl Álvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs) and undefeated contender Edgar Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs).
"September is going to be a great month: we have the Canelo vs. Berlanga fight. Who will win? In my opinion, Canelo has the advantage in this fight. I think he's stronger, he's been in bigger fights, and he has more experience, whereas Berlanga is still young and hungry for victory. It will be a great challenge, but as I’ve said, I believe Canelo will win this fight.
In my view, Canelo is the more technical fighter in this matchup. He's faced bigger and better opponents, tough competitors, so I think he has the better skills and knows what he’s up against.
In the fight between Canelo and Berlanga, I also believe Canelo is mentally stronger. He has a bigger name, has been in larger fights, and has beaten stronger opponents," Khan said.
The bout between Saúl Álvarez and Edgar Berlanga will take place on the night of September 15 in Las Vegas, USA. You can check the fight statistics and our prediction here.
