Edgar Berlanga disagrees that Canelo Alvarez is in decline | Boxing News
EDGAR BERLANGA believes he will face the best version of Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night.
Alvarez defends his three super-middleweight titles against the unbeaten Berlanga, who has 43 fewer fights on his record and is eight years younger than the Mexican star.
Canelo’s career is nearing its 20th year, and there are those who believe his best days are behind him and that he is not the force of old. Not Berlanga, however, who spoke to Boxing News this week in Las Vegas.
“I think I’m going to get the best version of him,” he said.
“I seen the gloves off [programme] that I’m talking and I’m the guy that’s big mouthing and stuff but at the end of the day this is a fight. He’s coming to take my head off, he’s wanting to come and try to hurt me so I don’t got no respect for him, I never had no respect for no fighter I fought ever.
“When I fought McCrory [in] my last fight I have no respect for him. I had to do him how I did him and after the fight I pray for him, I pray for his family and it was all love and respect.
“He has a different type of mindset when it comes to boxing but that’s not us you, we come from New York. I don’t know where he come from he says Mexico but Mexicans I know – real Mexicans – they’re guys that come to fight whether or not what I’m saying. There’s no respect.”
