Hearn Believes Berlanga Will Win

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn has expressed his belief that Edgar Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs), the underdog, could emerge victorious in his upcoming bout against WBC, WBA, and WBO super middleweight champion (up to 76.2 kg) Saúl Álvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs).

"I genuinely feel that if Edgar starts the fight well... It’s so hard to give you a solid prediction like, ‘Edgar will do this!’ But I like his chances in the fight because I like his mentality. But Canelo is extremely difficult to beat. I'll say Edgar Berlanga will win on points," Hearn said.

The fight will take place on September 14 in Las Vegas, USA. Previously, we shared a detailed breakdown of the fight and the statistics of both competitors.
