00:00:01Ladies and gentlemen, before we bring out our fighters for the main event,
00:00:05at this time we ask you to remain standing for the singing of the national anthems.
00:00:10We begin with the national anthem of Mexico from the well-known Fernandez family from Guadalajara.
00:00:17Please welcome recording artist Camila Fernandez.
00:00:30Mexicanos al grito de guerra, el acero aprestad y el bridón.
00:00:39Y retiemblen sus centros la tierra, al sonoro rugir del cañón.
00:00:48Y retiemblen sus centros la tierra, al sonoro rugir del cañón.
00:00:57Siño patria, tus sienes de oliva, de la paz el arcángel divino.
00:01:06Que en el cielo tu eterno destino, por el dedo de Dios se escribió.
00:01:16Mas yosar un extraño enemigo, profanar con su planta tu tierra.
00:01:25Pienso patria querida, que el cielo, un soldado en cada hijo te dio.
00:01:34Un soldado en cada hijo te dio.
00:01:40Mexicanos al grito de guerra, el acero aprestad y el bridón.
00:01:49Y retiemblen sus centros la tierra, al sonoro rugir del cañón.
00:01:58Y retiemblen sus centros la tierra, al sonoro rugir del cañón.
00:02:03El sonoro rugir del cañón.
00:02:10¡Viva México!
00:02:15¡Viva México!
00:02:16¡Viva México!
00:02:17¡Viva México!
00:02:18¡Viva México!
00:02:19¡Viva México!
00:02:20Y ahora, ladies and gentlemen,
00:02:22to lead us in our U.S. national anthem,
00:02:24please welcome the Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter,
00:02:27and recording artist, Sheree.
00:02:31Oh, sir, can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
00:02:43whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
00:03:06O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
00:03:17And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
00:03:29gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there.
00:03:40Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave.
00:03:58O'er the land of the free
00:04:08And the home of the brave
00:04:28We are set for the main event for Canelo Alvarez's unified super middleweight championship tale of the tape,
00:04:38brought to you by VMC.
00:04:40Alvarez for the 17th consecutive fight facing someone taller, bigger, the sixth one.
00:04:47Berlanga has a two and a half inch advantage when it comes to wingspan.
00:04:53He'll try to utilize that.
00:04:54He says he's going to look to use the jab to try to disrupt Canelo's rhythm.
00:05:01Easier said than done as Canelo Alvarez, in his 66 professional fight, that's more than any other ring-rated fighter in the sport.
00:05:12A Grand Canyon-sized edge in experience for Canelo Alvarez.
00:05:19And as we continue to chronicle tonight's narrative of Mexico versus Puerto Rico.
00:05:24Well, Puerto Rico has the advantage in terms of the head-to-head in total champions.
00:05:29Mexico way ahead.
00:05:31But man, so many incredible fights involving so many legends between Mexico and Puerto Rico.
00:05:38And tonight, one of Mexico's best ever.
00:05:40Canelo looks to author another chapter against the New Yorican, Edgar Berlanga, who was born in Brooklyn.
00:05:47But he waves the Puerto Rican flag proudly as the New Yorican who is, he's got the support of the rapper Fat Joe.
00:05:56And Fat Joe says, yeah, he's riding with Berlanga.
00:05:59Many of the pundits and many of the oddsmakers say Fat Chance.
00:06:02But Berlanga believes in himself.
00:06:04And self-belief is everything when it comes to boxing.
00:06:07Here now, at 27 years of age, walking the long walk to the ring here at T-Mobile Arena.
00:06:15Abner, what is going through your mind when you were walking to the ring for your first world championship fight?
00:06:21And what do you think is happening with Berlanga here?
00:06:23For me, it was excitement, obviously, jittery.
00:06:26I mean, just excited to go out there and show what I can do, know what I worked hard for.
00:06:31But again, I know that this one is different because it's the first Berlanga's big fight, but not just against anyone.
00:06:37Canelo Alvarez.
00:06:38Yeah, in his first fight, he has a chance to become the first guy since Camboses against Lopez,
00:06:42who becomes a unified champion, three-bell unified champ, Joe.
00:06:45Yeah, he's got a chance to do it.
00:06:49The odds are going to be tough against a guy like Canelo.
00:06:55This is a big show. It's a big stage.
00:06:57He has been training at high altitude like Canelo has been doing, but he's been in Boulder, Colorado,
00:07:03where he also spent time with none other than Neon Deion Sanders, the only man to play in the Super Bowl and World Series.
00:07:11Now firing him up as the coach of Colorado, but he wanted to impart some wisdom to Berlanga.
00:07:17And he said Berlanga's going into hostile territory. You can hear it here ringing out throughout T-Mobile.
00:07:23And look who's in attendance. Han Solo himself. Harrison Ford, who, by the way, tremendous in the show Shrinking.
00:07:30I give it a thumbs up. Talk about mental health and everything.
00:07:33But Harrison Ford, one of Hollywood's legendary actors who began his career as a carpenter.
00:07:39Well, Edgar Berlanga hopes he has the blueprint to pulling off the biggest upset possible.
00:07:44Let's go to Jimmy Landon.
00:07:46Great insight.
00:07:48Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for the bout you've all been waiting for.
00:08:02As tonight, we recognize Mexican Independence Weekend with a showdown for the Unified Super Middleweight Championship of the World.
00:08:13And now, please welcome the boxers as they make their way to the ring.
00:08:18First, the challenger representing Puerto Rico, the hard-hitting, undefeated, world-ranked contender, the chosen one, Edgar Berlanga.
00:08:36And, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:38And, yeah.
00:08:39Now, you come Boricua. Let yourself feel.
00:08:40Puerto Rico.
00:08:45Oh, my God.
00:09:15Oh, my God.
00:09:45Oh, my God.
00:10:15Oh, my God.
00:10:45I had a dream.
00:10:50Where can I learn my dream?
00:11:15Oh, my God.

00:12:14and the whole world.

00:13:43Buscando tanto en la vida me han quitado algo importante.
00:13:46Esa noche no se olvida cómo le sufrí bastante.
00:13:49Son delgados en la tarde que me hermano para descanse.

00:18:07Introducing, Saúl Canelo Alvarez.
00:18:21Once again, a referee in charge.
00:18:23Harvey, Doc, now to give instructions.
00:18:25Okay, Box, as you received my instructions earlier, as a reminder, obey my commands at all times.
00:18:32Protect yourself at all times.
00:18:33Touch gloves.
00:18:34Good luck.
00:18:36A festive atmosphere on this Mexican Independence Day weekend.
00:18:40And we will let the crowd provide the soundtrack as we await the opening bell.
00:18:47Of course, they go quiet as soon as I say.
00:18:50That won't last long.
00:18:52I can guarantee that, Mark.
00:18:53Huge crowd here at T-Mobile Arena to see Canelo Alvarez make the fifth defense of the lineal super middleweight crown.
00:19:00He became undisputed champion, beating Caleb Plant November 2021 here in Las Vegas.
00:19:09The IVF has stripped him of his title because he did not face mandatory challenger William Scull.
00:19:14He's chosen the chosen one.
00:19:16And here, Edgar Berlanga, on the biggest stage of his career, undefeated, but facing his first major test.
00:19:23Boy, is it a big one.
00:19:26And speaking of big ones, Berlanga looks huge.
00:19:29Oh, yeah.
00:19:29He is a big man.
00:19:31He looks bigger than Munguia did.
00:19:33He does.
00:19:33Munguia looked big.
00:19:34Look at that back.
00:19:35Yeah, yeah, this is a big boy right here.
00:19:37Berlanga, young, hungry, determined.
00:19:39I mean, he's got to go out there and show it.
00:19:41Canelo, obviously, his usual self in the first round, collecting data, waiting for Berlanga to make mistakes.
00:19:47Nice lead left hook curling around the guard of Berlanga by Canelo and then Berlanga with the jab.
00:19:53A jab from Canelo.
00:19:55One thing about Canelo that he does really well, Marl, is he parries the jab really well.
00:20:00His defense is incredible.
00:20:02And at close quarters.
00:20:03Able to slip, parry, weave, upper body movement to pull counters.
00:20:08Exactly.
00:20:09And blocked.
00:20:10And blocking.
00:20:13Canelo will do that time to time, trying to reach the body.
00:20:16He overextended his punch there.
00:20:18It was a perfect time for Berlanga to counterpunch with something.
00:20:21But again, first round.
00:20:22Both are active body punchers.
00:20:23Berlanga wants to disrupt that rhythm.
00:20:27The one thing Dimitri Bivol did that others were unable to do.
00:20:32There's a nice combination from Canelo.
00:20:34He's able to make Canelo miss.
00:20:37He was able to really take a chunk out of the accuracy.
00:20:40Berlanga.
00:20:41That would be careful indeed.
00:20:43Poking that bear over and over again.
00:20:45But yeah, it was Bivol's range, his jab.
00:20:48But Bivol, again, is another class of fighter.
00:20:50He's a champion for a reason.
00:20:51He's a light heavyweight kingpin.
00:20:54And for Edgar Berlanga, again, no matter what you say, 22-0 with 17 KOs.
00:20:59But nowhere near the class of fighter of a Canelo in his resume.
00:21:02And like I said, if Berlanga was smart and following instructions from his corner, he's going to box.
00:21:07He shouldn't be sitting on the ropes right now.
00:21:09Oh, sharp jab, and then Berlanga immediately responds with one of his own.
00:21:15Yeah, you've got to start doing something.
00:21:16Disrupt the rhythm from Canelo with the jab.
00:21:19Even if you pair it like you said, Joe, there it is.
00:21:21Put it in the face.
00:21:22Blind Canelo for a moment.
00:21:24There's the jab splitting, the high guard of Canelo for Berlanga.
00:21:27Berlanga on his back foot, being put in the corner by Canelo.
00:21:30Canelo incredible at cutting off the ring.
00:21:32And then making you paint going upstairs, downstairs.
00:21:35The level changes.
00:21:37The left hook, the double left hook, body head.
00:21:40There can be not necessarily a predictable pattern in Canelo's offense,
00:21:46but he does go to the same combinations over and over because they work.
00:21:50Exactly.
00:21:50And if he doesn't get you one way, he'll get you another.
00:21:53The thing with Berlanga, I just noticed right there,
00:21:55when they got close inside, he's the one who grabbed on and initiated a clinch.
00:22:02Time!
00:22:05How do you feel?
00:22:10I got the low blow.
00:22:12Just keep fighting.
00:22:13Just protect yourself.
00:22:14But I got it.
00:22:14I got it.
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:16The hip's good, right?
00:22:17Yes, the hip's good.
00:22:18That jab is good.
00:22:20That jab is good.
00:22:21Okay?
00:22:22I had a punch here.
00:22:23It's your face.
00:22:23Okay?
00:22:24Good job.
00:22:25Try not to back into that corner too much.
00:22:28How do you feel?
00:22:28Is everything you thought it would be?
00:22:30We got to go to hell and get this.
00:22:32Right?
00:22:33Stay on the control.
00:22:34Keep that right hand where it needs to be locked in.
00:22:36You got to be careful with those overhand right.
00:22:38Don't let them put you in a position, okay?
00:22:39You got to go left.
00:22:40You got to go right.
00:22:41That jab looks good, right?
00:22:42But what's going to come over that jab?
00:22:43You got to give me some type of head movement.
00:22:45Okay?
00:22:46You got to be on your toes.
00:22:48All right?
00:22:48And be in position defensively to execute, man.
00:22:51Offensively.
00:22:52Good job.
00:22:53You got it?
00:22:53Check the jab.
00:22:54Now, Vivo.
00:22:55Yes, sir.
00:22:55Good job.
00:22:56Vivo, don't go for no faith.
00:22:58Mark Farad, the second stint now as Edgar Berlanga's trainer and Higg.
00:23:04He said, you've got to go through hell to make your dreams come true.
00:23:08And Winston Churchill, one of the world's great leaders, when you're going through hell,
00:23:11you keep going.
00:23:11You got to get through it.
00:23:13And here we go.
00:23:14Round number two, scheduled for 12, for Canelo's three-belt unified 168-pound division title.
00:23:20And he also said one of the, I thought it was important, don't sit in the corner.
00:23:24No.
00:23:24Don't be stationary.
00:23:30Canelo's so good at setting traps.
00:23:33Standing right in front of you, making you believe you have something.
00:23:36And then he slips a punch and counters so fast.
00:23:39He does that very well.
00:23:40He's got to the left uppercut on the inside.
00:23:42The left hook.
00:23:44Just a million inches.
00:23:45The game of inches.
00:23:46Oh!
00:23:47He looks up with the left hand.
00:23:48Berlanga took it.
00:23:49That's the second time Canelo's gone with that right hand of the body and followed up with a hook.
00:23:53Here's that thing.
00:23:54Is this just that Berlanga's pulling this right back?
00:23:56Berlanga blocks that one with the glove.
00:24:00There's a nice jab by Canelo.
00:24:02Follows up with the right hand, curling it behind the guard.
00:24:04Berlanga again in the corner.
00:24:06Joe, and you can see the pressure building.
00:24:08Exactly what a Trenton told him not to do.
00:24:11He's backed himself in the front.
00:24:12Berlanga pushing already, the bigger man.
00:24:15I mean, Berlanga's not fighting Scarebaker, but he's fighting cautious.
00:24:18And you can see it.
00:24:19Look at his eyes.
00:24:20Look at his body.
00:24:21He's too worried about the punches Canelo's going to have.
00:24:23Ooh.
00:24:24Canelo just misses with that sweeping left hook.
00:24:30Right before that, Berlanga landed a one-two and a left uppercut really landed on Canelo.
00:24:34It was a nice shot.
00:24:35And again, Berlanga backs himself into the ropes.
00:24:40He's in a trap as he walks the right hand against Canelo.
00:24:44Canelo lands the one-two and is able to step back and escape the offense of Berlanga.
00:24:48If you're Berlanga, you want to hit him with something hard.
00:24:51Oh, beautiful defense by Canelo, beautiful defense.
00:24:53If you want to hit Canelo with something hard, get his respect.
00:24:56Yeah, you got to look for it, though.
00:24:58Absolutely.
00:24:59But I'm just saying, despite the fact that Canelo these days less is born, landing less punches, throwing less punches, but it's accurate.
00:25:07Oh, and Berlanga fires by Berlanga.
00:25:12It's Canelo being warned, but Berlanga has to be careful.
00:25:15He's been deducted points before.
00:25:16He's been suspended for fighting a fighter.
00:25:20Before that exchange, Berlanga landed a short right hand on Canelo.
00:25:24That was kind of imperceptible, but it was a nice little right hand.
00:25:29Sharp jab by Canelo.
00:25:31Berlanga unable to take his head off center line.
00:25:34There's a power jab right there from Canelo.
00:25:37And again, Berlanga's corner screaming for him to get out of the corner.
00:25:46Nice left hook to the body by Berlanga, pulls up with a jab.
00:25:50Canelo on his front foot, high guard, feinting, trying to find an opening.
00:25:55If Berlanga can't have room to take steps back, he gets trapped, and that's why they don't want him in the corner.
00:26:00One-two from Berlanga.
00:26:03Time!
00:26:03Catch a mare.
00:26:16Catch a mare.
00:26:17Trace a mare.
00:26:17Get some mare.
00:26:17Get some mare.
00:26:20He got you at the right hand.
00:26:23Be careful.
00:26:23He's strong, we know.
00:26:27We saw him already.
00:26:28Get low, high guard.
00:26:33Don't push your hands down.
00:26:35Not so much to jab downstairs, because he's trying to counterpunch on top.
00:26:40Slipping.
00:26:42All right, here's the, here's where Canelo's pushing down on the back.
00:26:54And then, yeah, hit him on the sides and the back.
00:26:57Never longer retaliated, yeah.
00:26:59Yeah, with a purposeful low blow.
00:27:02But Eddie Renoso also pointed out that Canelo got clipped with the right hand.
00:27:07This is round number three.
00:27:10Canelo landed 14 of 28 in the second round.
00:27:14Seven of 31 for Berlanga.
00:27:20And again, that low output, high accuracy offense of Canelo Alvarez.
00:27:25Edgar Berlanga, we saw again start his career storming out to 16 first round knockouts.
00:27:30But hey, he wants to evolve, wants to grow as a fighter.
00:27:33And now with his trainer, they wanted to establish the jab,
00:27:36take away the Canelo offensive rhythm.
00:27:39And Berlanga starting to open up.
00:27:41He is.
00:27:42And one, two.
00:27:43There, you get in the inside.
00:27:44The uppercut was perfectly there for Berlanga.
00:27:46Didn't want to take the chance.
00:27:48Drop jab from Canelo.
00:27:49That close, you make a kill.
00:27:51Yeah.
00:27:52And again, Berlanga finds himself in the corner.
00:27:55And Canelo has a measure, but Berlanga's jab.
00:27:58That'll disrupt Canelo.
00:27:59And of course, you keep Canelo from resetting his feet.
00:28:04Then you have an opportunity to do something.
00:28:06Oh!
00:28:07Wow!
00:28:08Down goes Berlanga!
00:28:09Canelo!
00:28:10Crack Berlanga!
00:28:11He goes down here in round three.
00:28:14Oh!
00:28:15You all right?
00:28:16Look it up.
00:28:19Wicked left hook.
00:28:21That left hook from Hades by Canelo Alvarez.
00:28:26And for the second time in his career,
00:28:29Berlanga is down on the deck holding the predicted knockouts.
00:28:33The distant fireworks have begun in Las Vegas here in round three.
00:28:38Oh!
00:28:39Canelo looking to close the show.
00:28:41Berlanga trying to hold his ground.
00:28:45Wild punch from Berlanga.
00:28:47Canelo measuring him up.
00:28:48Using the jab to key up with the right.
00:28:51Yeah.
00:28:52Canelo's not carrying anybody in this fight.
00:28:54He's gonna...
00:28:55He's opening up and he wants...
00:28:56He's mad.
00:28:57And he wants revenge.
00:28:58And he's fighting like it.
00:28:59He's opening up Berlanga like a double click.
00:29:02Left uppercut on the inside.
00:29:03Final minute of the third round.
00:29:06Highlighted by a left hook knockdown for Canelo.
00:29:11Berlanga forced to fight in the inside.
00:29:13And he has to.
00:29:14But he's gotta be careful.
00:29:15He doesn't give Canelo an opening.
00:29:17The crowd in Vegas and Fuego anticipating the KO.
00:29:22Berlanga predicted a sixth round stoppage.
00:29:24Canelo not used to making predictions.
00:29:26Said it would happen in eight or less.
00:29:28He's looking for the less.
00:29:29Canelo!
00:29:31Canelo!
00:29:37Canelo!
00:29:38Canelo!
00:29:39Canelo!
00:29:40Canelo!
00:29:41Canelo!
00:29:42Canelo!
00:29:43Canelo!
00:29:44Canelo!
00:29:45Canelo!
00:29:46Canelo!
00:29:47Canelo!
00:29:48Canelo!
00:29:49Canelo!
00:29:50Canelo!
00:29:51the defense the head movement gets caught with the uppercut goes downstairs to the body high guard
00:29:56rips the left hook to the body left hook upstairs by canelo yeah he rips those hooks right on the
00:30:00elbows look at the defense abner just by an inch what a performance in round three by canelo what
00:30:08whoa what the hold on hold on i got you i got you we had one of the trainers fall into our laps here
00:30:15and it is chaos at ringside it's a bad spot here everybody here we go here we go this is here's the
00:30:25this is the replay canelo's gonna throw the jab yeah berlenga leaves his left he leaves his right
00:30:31hand down on a faint see right there boom they got hit on it he bit on the faint
00:30:38and here's another look oh perfectly timed left hook so sharp so short berlenga upset right there
00:30:49punching his gloves saying like he got me look he got me berlenga went for the fake downstairs and
00:30:56then he hooked right over it it's a it's a great trick a lot of great fighters use it and that was
00:31:01i saw canelo trying to finish him yeah just as much action here at ringside as we saw
00:31:07you okay but whatever earning my money the hard way i guess jesus fourth round here
00:31:21yeah big guy that landed on you moro that's just
00:31:24all right but now listen it's canelo that's landing the hard punches on berlenga believe me it's one of
00:31:31those nuggets for me don't worry about it it's unbelievable nicely took from berlenga but he's
00:31:36unable to connect there's the jab needs to establish it and the thing about canelo is he just keeps
00:31:41pressing you in a long way oh he puts that mental pressure on your right and he carries the ominous
00:31:47this way yeah like the you see the shark fin in the water coming towards you right you know it's
00:31:52going to be curtain soon the bigger guy here is berlenga no doubt why not try to push canelo i
00:31:57know easier said than done but try to get the bigger leg canelo one berlenga fights himself
00:32:02on the ropes literally and figuratively now canelo looking to it there's berlenga opening up with
00:32:08the jab yeah berlenga's got a really beautiful combination canelo jab upstairs body shot with the
00:32:18right hand really diversifying his attack as we've seen so he's got to catch canelo coming in when he
00:32:24backs up he's got to throw when he's moving right back right there
00:32:26so berlenga went down for the second time in his career in the last round courtesy of the swooping
00:32:42left hook from canelo canelo clips him with the right hand the right cross with a minute 15 left in the
00:32:48push oh rips the left hook to the lever the mexican special
00:33:07canelo for how short he is he can really get that jab and he gets a big guy it's amazing he's got
00:33:11perfect timing it's not a range jab it's a it's a step jab yeah step jab
00:33:18opens up the guard and he looks for the opening
00:33:23eddie renoso told him don't go to the body with that jab he said he was worried about
00:33:26the counter i think he's got to switch that up a little bit go up and down and not be too predictable
00:33:32with that jab the lag of trying to draw up some real estate it pints himself in the corner again
00:33:36jab from canelo another with his trademark high guard you've got to try to maximize those
00:33:43those little openings very tight windows where those nfl quarterbacks trying to
00:33:48smile up in the tight window but berlenga needs to find one of those tight windows
00:33:51stars of all stripes show up on the strip in sin city anytime canelo alvarez is competing
00:34:10luminaries on hand including actress jemmy moore remember the brad pack back in the 80s still
00:34:20doing amazing work as an actress taking in the fistic festivities
00:34:27little by little just close your guard high guard he's beating you with the jabs
00:34:38block block block block block block the arms boom arriba arriba yabaka
00:34:46what is the arms when you see the shirt jab go for it power jab
00:34:53i was talking about that earlier go for the arms that's what canelo does he turns the knuckles the
00:34:59hands over and he hits both elbows you know and that that after a while can paralyze that
00:35:05brings the guard down your arms yes and canelo obviously he's known for that
00:35:12they both said that the only thing where he heard me was my arms yeah he rips those shots because he
00:35:17turns the knuckles are like has of course just the one knockout pass around one that came in his last
00:35:24fight and a ton of the way canelo's already operating he may need another one here tonight
00:35:30you know that all being said berlenga still looks dangerous to that you know he looks like he's very
00:35:35powerful and look if he catches canelo with his guard down a little bit he can whack yeah he's not too
00:35:43square up now has never been down again one of the all-time great brandon shins of course in the
00:35:49last fight danny garcia never been down and that went down and then fight was stopped but uh here in
00:35:54this one canelo looking murani trying to keep that lean hand in canelo's face
00:36:00there's a big ten there's a big ten there
00:36:06now canelo's just walking him down so he's immaturely he's talking punches away he's slipping a little bit
00:36:13looking for his opening bar getting zipping up in the leg by canelo's on purpose now canelo's doing a backdoor
00:36:20berlang has started that
00:36:22don't be a don't be a don't be a keep it clean i'm gonna keep it clean
00:36:25keep it clean keep it clean let's go keep it clean so the enmity is now
00:36:32to the ring hey the referee canelo like i did earlier everybody's going out
00:36:38can't wait to down a few after gonna need it
00:36:43he's in the corner again danger zone but he comes back with the right hand
00:36:48canelo misses with the left hook and see you don't want to get angry because you get angry you
00:36:54you lose your composure don't want to make me angry mr you're not going to like me when i'm angry
00:37:03and he's just missing that overhead right canelo
00:37:05canelo beautifully executed and jack in the jaw berlanga
00:37:11berlanga's in close now right the range where canelo can land those uppercuts in the jabber canelo
00:37:16with some marks around his left eye little mouse under the left eye yeah i see it that was really
00:37:21smart from canelo he saw he was missing the overhead right and guess what he changed it
00:37:25he switched it to the urban good in latin that's what fighters with high iq do make adjustments on the fly
00:37:31right hand by canelo berlanga rolling with it trying to take some steam off but again on the ropes
00:37:36see what the line is doing you're not really allowed to hold that hand uh straight up straight
00:37:52you're not really allowed to get off the ropes but it's just a matter of
00:38:03before going out there's that jack too you're tying that left hook beautiful
00:38:24ready how do you feel here we go there we go
00:38:29come on are you feeling them good
00:38:37we got both guys the same thing if i say stop i know but if i say stop just stop both of you
00:38:44both you just listen for me saying stop just stop harvey dock may start docking some points the way
00:38:49he's talking to these guys he's going to dock him some points all right here we go it's uh here's
00:38:54canelo going to the body with that race he had turns his knuckles over so well and then back there
00:38:59though that that one wasn't as because berlanga was moving away from it wasn't as effective but
00:39:05berlanga was slipped slipped in that right hand canelo countered right away so he got that one two
00:39:10back man i'm not used to seeing you know with the bus but there's that mouse under that left eye and here
00:39:15we go with round number six scheduled for 12 for canelo's unified super middleweight championship
00:39:25berlanga's very first title fight
00:39:28he's looking to shock the world he said he's wanting to go on under shield he hopes that canelo
00:39:36want to do the same and uh it's joe busis scorecard the other scorecard canelo fishing
00:39:43the shutout through five including the knockdown
00:39:47yeah for berlanga now it's just you know when hopes that he lands something clean something hard
00:39:57it's big canelo walking them down all night yeah and one of the ways to score a pro fight is
00:40:04aggressiveness effective aggressive he's been aggressive and he's been effective
00:40:08but the pressure the mental pressure is starting to build and again canelo has him in the corner
00:40:24digs to the body with the right hand
00:40:30yeah berlanga keeps locking himself into the corner at this corner his corner is
00:40:38going down he takes the time and he puts them down there it is taking moments to catch a breather
00:41:06well berlanga has a minute left to fulfill fulfill that prediction the prognostication of a sixth round
00:41:16stoppage it's tick tock goes o'clock doesn't look likely good job by canelo see when he's in that
00:41:25distance his range he'll land first before berlanga even tries to jump berlanga's going to start using
00:41:30his jab from way out there like that way before canelo gets close
00:41:35he again walks and backs himself into the corner
00:41:38just not good fight iq and again the body shot by canelo canelo picking off berlanga half a minute
00:41:45left here in the first half of this 12 round championship bout
00:41:53you listen to the corner they're saying the right things but berlanga's not because i'd be yelling the
00:41:58same thing you got a punch when you're you when you have the distance you know canelo needs to
00:42:03get a little bit closer his arms are shorter
00:42:08oh
00:42:15see harvey doc tell him to keep the punches up because canelo's kind of hitting him on the hip and a little below
00:42:20yeah there's the jab from berlanga from a distance and canelo yeah there he popped him with it can
00:42:31i'll look into perry it now canelo yeah there but there's a good parry by canelo and then he rolls with
00:42:39the right hand oh he does does that really well can that's right he rolls with the punches and there's
00:42:44that little short upper cut in the hook you guys wow that's it right there and that hurt him you
00:42:48saw him open his mouth and you want great this man yeah that hurt berlanga that upper cut ball
00:42:56are you sure what's up we alert right everything is use that jab use those faints you gotta shoot
00:43:02that right here right down his chin every now and then shoot it right off the card when he's close
00:43:06coming home for us mark farron looking for the jab looking for the one two and looking for the
00:43:14uppercut from berlanga when canelo closes in and we begin the second half of this championship bout
00:43:21canelo alvarez defending the unified 168 pound division crown against the undefeated upstart edgar
00:43:28berlanga the 27 year old 22 and 0 with 17 ko's alvarez is 34 with a record of 61
00:43:36two and two you know the fourth round was canelo's 500th it was berlanga 76th a huge chasm in experience
00:43:45on display nice body work there from berlanga there's the range there's the jab
00:43:54it's always canelo coming back with his own powerful jab
00:43:57there's a bigger guy you want to work the body more canelo does that expertly i will tell you that's a
00:44:18third warning from harvey dog about low blows from canelo so chopping right from berlanga
00:44:25nice right hand yeah from berlanga's the left hook to the body by canelo the jab and the right
00:44:30cross there by canelo lead left hook by canelo hands berlanga stickled to the ropes berlanga finally
00:44:36turns lands a one two of his own but he gets countered with the jab and he's getting tired obviously
00:44:41because of the body work that canelo's uh imposing in shooting but it's also the uh the tension too
00:44:48much tension uh too much pressure from canelo yeah experience if he can't relax when the guy's
00:44:55coming at you you can look at your body he's tight berlanga he's doing it he's doing it lean left hook
00:45:03for canelo oh jab from berlanga canelo's hands down but back up and again that could be a trap in
00:45:09its own right with a guy like canelo and that high guard proves to be a trap for a lot of people they
00:45:14try to go downstairs their body get countered upstairs with a hook yeah he's got all the tricks in the book
00:45:20but one thing about berlanga's jab he he keeps that right hand up pretty good
00:45:24but in defense against the hook he got faked into that knockdown where he he went to parry
00:45:29and and canelo came over otherwise he's keeping his hand up real well he's changing levels making
00:45:35himself smaller crow yeah yeah could be open to an uppercut if he keeps that up or the overhead
00:45:41right hand yeah he's trying to make an angle he's trying to half a minute left here in the seventh
00:45:47nice jab from another jab from berlanga splitting another jab from berlanga now berlanga comes close but
00:45:53it's the uppercut that's initiated that's a slip a bad slip and he could have hurt himself
00:45:59the way he's he went too hard on that slip i think he's laughing yeah he's embarrassed yeah yeah that was
00:46:07made some midpack he did it was loud
00:46:10canelo canelo canelo wants to repeat that hook with that faint hook
00:46:21hey boxing slipping is a good defensive technique not this kind of slipping
00:46:25he throws a wicked right he landed on his knees there it is himself out he could have hurt his knees
00:46:31yeah he just took himself uh through a wild right there was so much momentum on that
00:46:36and we've seen him do that at times throughout his career very much throws himself off balance
00:46:40let's listen to him stay disciplined good job but the jab has to work right you're draining it and then
00:46:47you know where we go okay if you see something around you take it be disciplined how i told you
00:46:52patience and discipline you just weathered the storm we out of it see it baby see it right
00:46:57that's it good what do we see you see everything
00:47:02i thought berlenga did well with the jab last round but i don't think he won the round because
00:47:15i think the body shots and the harder shots were coming and canelo landed his fair share of jabs as
00:47:21well i i did that round to canelo round number eight berlenga's corner wants him to to use the jab
00:47:27but they want to see more of the right hand they want to see uppercuts
00:47:34they want to catch and shoot oh there's a right hand from berlang over the top jab catches canelo
00:47:42and of course this is the round that canelo predicted the the demise of edgar berlenga but of
00:47:48course that's for headlines that's for the people in the bar making their bets
00:47:52but i think for berlenga the six-round prediction was more of a no to himself that
00:47:59if he doesn't win within six rounds it's pretty much over
00:48:09no one might put baby in the corner but berlenga puts themselves there with two minutes now left in the
00:48:13eight and canelo through a wicked little over the top right hand which berlenga's seen and getting
00:48:19under he keeps missing that overhand but not that body shot
00:48:28there it is that landed although berlenga rode that up to cut out after that hook
00:48:33right hand curls around lands for berlenga goes to the body of course canelo now attacking those arms we
00:48:44know about those that attack breaking down the arms of his opponent
00:48:48smack cross
00:48:49we're waiting for the dog what the dog calls a toe for the head bite just as canelo was
00:48:55watch your head don't do that that was intentional don't do that all right turn in he's so po'd right now
00:49:02i gotta believe canelo thought he got fedded intentionally from yeah yeah of course well
00:49:16berlenga's elbows people he's pit people he's just like breaking elbows guys and how he docks off from a
00:49:22distance and was way too far away to stop what canelo is going to do in retaliation final minute of the eighth
00:49:32this is what the left hook comes back with a one two though quickly
00:49:36the jab again effect of splitting the high guard of berlenga 45 seconds left in round eight
00:49:42berlenga leaning in there and doing nothing it's like three times right there in front of him
00:49:47and he's waiting for canelo is stationary now canelo and again man back corner
00:49:52like a lock to a flame berlenga stationary now he's not moving as much anymore he can't canelo just
00:49:58misses with that hard left hook goes downstairs canelo's doing what he said he was doing he's
00:50:03punishing berlenga right hand and they're now both high guard doing like this but it's canelo
00:50:09throwing the punches again uppercut hook to the body left hook upstairs canelo opening up
00:50:14berlenga comes back finally with a one two canelo wants him to open it because yeah throw him
00:50:20toward again he wants him to open it and opens up the counter attack exactly
00:50:34can we get back to where that headbutt happened look that's that's intentional it's purposeful harvey
00:50:38dog comes running but not before canelo gets revenge and you know what he deserved that right hand from canelo
00:50:46there's a left hook right hand to the body this is what canelo does to break you down boom another
00:50:51one to the liver and he just keeps coming jab to the belly if he shot a right hand over the
00:50:55top that would have been nice left uppercut to the top bring the elbow up shoot the liver shot
00:51:00i mean it's beautiful stuff it's genius
00:51:01i wish i could do that it's really nice what do you do what are you going to do with the inside
00:51:12uppercut double uppercut and they hook duck
00:51:18yeah you you you try to teach fighters to do that and how hard is it to get that right right
00:51:24it's such a tough thing to do he makes it look easy and this is round number nine coming into this
00:51:32fight the 123 punches landed by steve rolls the most landed against edgar berlanga while here in
00:51:41round number nine canelo alvarez has landed 119 so that will definitely fall by the wayside
00:51:50no surprise i gotta ask you a question joe as a coach berlanga's losing the entire fight after
00:51:57this one he's just gonna get punished he's gonna get punished getting hurt is there a time a moment
00:52:02in time of the fight and you as a coach that would rather just stop the fight no no i mean because
00:52:08he's not getting wobbled or dropped right now he did mention it in the court already
00:52:13after he did mention it a couple of rounds there's no reason for him to take all the punishment
00:52:18oh one two from canelo hard combination i love fighter taylor's beatings and that come back
00:52:24and win a fight maybe not against the canelo type but against good fighters look you got ringside
00:52:29doctors and referees yeah but sometimes your coach you've got to make that decision like danny barcius
00:52:36called i've stopped fights before yes 45 but not this way okay
00:52:45that was a little bit of a rabbit punch from berlanga and the point deducted is coming we think yes it is
00:52:51arby donk time in oh no so i mean he's warning but not about it talking but yeah he did he thought
00:52:57about it absolutely did it's one of them berlanga's reputation precedes him it's not good when it comes
00:53:02to breaking the rules one of the things i hate most is a rabbit punch because it's behind the head
00:53:07and you're totally exposed back there and it's very dangerous the dangerous corner yet again finally moves
00:53:13the
00:53:19pops off the jab
00:53:22Nice, nice job, Dan.
00:53:30Final minute of the night.
00:53:39Yeah, can I listen to him?
00:53:41That's, that's his game.
00:53:43It's music.
00:53:44Oh, there we go.
00:53:45For the over 50,000 that showed up to support him here today.
00:53:49Good luck with the back today.
00:53:51And Berlango leans back over.
00:53:54Berlango still lying for the jab, but he's, he's leaning.
00:53:58He's giving up his height advantage,
00:54:00giving Canelo the beautiful path to the uppercuts.
00:54:03Instead of leaning him and going first.
00:54:07He's not doing anything else because he's hurt.
00:54:09Everything, every punch that Canelo throws,
00:54:12with bad intentions, arms, everything.
00:54:14Everything's hurting right now for Berlango.
00:54:16And yet he fires back again, keeps trying to fight back,
00:54:18but does not initiate like you said, Joe.
00:54:20He's falling on the ropes here.
00:54:23Nice defense there by Berlango, but then gets tagged
00:54:25by the one-two from Canelo.
00:54:27Hey!
00:54:29What do you think?
00:54:32What do you think?
00:54:33What do you think?
00:54:34What do you think?
00:54:35What do you think?
00:54:36What do you think?
00:54:37What do you think?
00:54:38What do you think?
00:54:39Yeah!
00:54:40What do you think?
00:54:41Listen to me, man.
00:54:46Dude.
00:54:47Why are we being, why are we doing dumb shit right now, man?
00:54:53Are you awake?
00:54:54Are you taking us less shots?
00:54:56We got time to do out.
00:54:57This is it, championship rounds, man.
00:54:59What are you doing?
00:55:00Get some ice on his head.
00:55:03I got you.
00:55:04You okay?
00:55:05You sure?
00:55:06100%.
00:55:07100%.
00:55:08I'm sorry.
00:55:09I'm sorry.
00:55:10I'm sorry.
00:55:11He's really concerned.
00:55:12They gotta stop that part.
00:55:13He's concerned.
00:55:14Yeah, he's concerned.
00:55:15He asked, are you awake?
00:55:16Yeah, he asked, are you okay?
00:55:17Yeah, he closed his eyes for a bit.
00:55:18Major concern in the corner for Berlanga.
00:55:19He's taking too many shots.
00:55:20There's that rabid punch.
00:55:25Yeah.
00:55:26Mark, the corner man still talking to Berlanga.
00:55:28You're right, Abner.
00:55:29There is concern in the corner for Edgar Berlanga.
00:55:32They allow him to come out for round number 10.
00:55:35There's no need for it.
00:55:36He's still young.
00:55:40Then you know Canelo, they want that definitive finish,
00:55:45but you're right.
00:55:46Your trainer always looking out for the fighter,
00:55:47but here we are in round 10,
00:55:49and Canelo really beginning to open up a big lead,
00:55:52statistically and otherwise.
00:55:56Landing 50% of his power punches.
00:55:59Enough said.
00:56:01Well, this is where Berlanga doesn't want to be
00:56:04at this corner.
00:56:05And again, he came out firing with a left hook
00:56:07and a right hand.
00:56:08I mean, he still looks strong,
00:56:10but I understand the concern,
00:56:11but unless he gets cracked or dropped or something,
00:56:14really good.
00:56:15He's been getting cracked all fight.
00:56:17No, I mean, I mean to where he gets involved.
00:56:20But you know, you know this, Joe.
00:56:22There's punches that you don't need to be wobbling.
00:56:24Nice double left hook and right hand for Berlanga.
00:56:27That was his best combination of the fight,
00:56:29and still highly ineffective against Canelo Alvarez.
00:56:33A minute gone here in the 10th,
00:56:35and Berlanga leaning in but not throwing much.
00:56:37And meanwhile, Canelo going to the body,
00:56:39going with the uppercuts on the inside,
00:56:42just misses with a sweeping left hook.
00:56:44Berlanga comes back with a one-two.
00:56:46And I was just going to say that Canelo might take this round off.
00:56:50Nope.
00:56:51Nope.
00:56:52No, there's no reason to.
00:56:54I mean, he's not getting, you know,
00:56:56he's not getting punished.
00:56:57He's not getting, you know.
00:56:59He's definitely having his way, but Berlanga is firing back.
00:57:01He's still punching back.
00:57:02It's just a reaction, I think, from Berlanga.
00:57:04Oh, beautiful.
00:57:05Nice right uppercut by Canelo.
00:57:06Maestro.
00:57:07Two paintbrushes in his hands.
00:57:09Just painting the vintage Canelo performance.
00:57:11And again, underdog left hook of the right uppercut.
00:57:14Right hand.
00:57:15Perlanga taking the load on punishment.
00:57:18A minute left for Canelo.
00:57:20Berlanga continues to march forward,
00:57:22continues to try to find a way to land a big punch,
00:57:24but he's taking so many big shots.
00:57:27Oh, it's just a reaction.
00:57:29It's just a reaction, I think, for Berlanga.
00:57:32Oh, it's just a reaction, I think, from Berlanga.
00:57:35Oh, beautiful.
00:57:36Oh, beautiful.
00:57:38Make no mistake.
00:57:39But he's taking so many big shots.
00:57:41Nice uppercut on the inside by Berlanga.
00:57:46He goes, come on.
00:57:48Yeah, Berlanga's just fighting an instinct right now.
00:57:50Oh, left hook by Canelo upstairs.
00:57:52Berlanga talking more than he's punching.
00:57:58Systematic breakdown by Canelo Alvarez.
00:58:01That right hand just missed for Berlanga.
00:58:04Few and far between.
00:58:05Beautiful combo from Canelo.
00:58:07No mistake.
00:58:08What Canelo's doing to Berlanga is not an easy beat.
00:58:11Berlanga's a good fighter to be able to hang in here, number one.
00:58:14Number two, fire back like he is.
00:58:16He's a hell of a fighter.
00:58:18I think he's got a great future.
00:58:23Ten seconds.
00:58:24Oh, he wiped away.
00:58:25Canelo must have, you heard that ten-second warning,
00:58:28and may have thought he could defend yourself at all times.
00:58:32Just ask Victor Ortiz behind Mayweather.
00:58:35Wow, that was an interesting moment.
00:58:37Canelo took the biggest shot when he was walking away.
00:58:41Because Canelo heard the ten-second clap.
00:58:43Yes, that's what he said.
00:58:44And turned and thought it wasn't the bell.
00:58:46And then Berlanga struck.
00:58:48Watch right there.
00:58:49Here's the ten-second clapper.
00:58:51Canelo walks away not knowing it's not the bell.
00:58:54Oh, magic.
00:58:55And takes the best shot that Berlanga gave him all night.
00:58:58Oh.
00:58:59That little DX action there.
00:59:00How do you stop a fight when you got Berlanga, you know,
00:59:02doing the, you know, the gestures towards Canelo?
00:59:05Do you think he wants to stop?
00:59:08Of course not.
00:59:09He's a fighter here.
00:59:10Okay.
00:59:11Yeah.
00:59:12Championship rounds are coming up.
00:59:14Oh, look at that right hand.
00:59:15Arm shot.
00:59:16Yeah.
00:59:17That's a typical arm shot.
00:59:18Yeah.
00:59:19But look, Berlanga's just, like, he's kind of defiant right now.
00:59:22He's being very defiant and very tough,
00:59:24although he's getting hurt.
00:59:26Not to where he's getting wobbled or dropped,
00:59:29but he's taking punishment.
00:59:30A lot of the pundits didn't expect Berlanga
00:59:32to make it to the championship rounds.
00:59:34He's done it.
00:59:35It's round 11.
00:59:39And the fans in attendance
00:59:42rallying behind Canelo
00:59:44as Berlanga once again puts himself on the ropes,
00:59:47ducking underneath.
00:59:49Coming back with a one-two.
00:59:51There's a shot down by Canelo.
00:59:53But now we're beginning to see
00:59:55back and forth action here at round 11.
01:00:00I think Berlanga, if he's gonna go out,
01:00:02there's the headbutt again.
01:00:03He said he wants to go out on his shield.
01:00:04He's trying to do just that.
01:00:05And he just intentionally headbutted Canelo again.
01:00:08Jab from Canelo.
01:00:10They exchanged jobs in the opening minute.
01:00:12Jansen Manco ring out throughout the crowd
01:00:16of over 20,000 at T-Mobile Arena.
01:00:22And again goes up.
01:00:24The shots breaking up of Berlanga.
01:00:26Two shows.
01:00:27That means Berlanga remains, you said it.
01:00:29Define sitting down and looking to make a fight out of it here in the 11th.
01:00:34Oh, but gets rattled with the left.
01:00:37Fires back with another left hook.
01:00:39Canelo clipping Berlanga.
01:00:40Remember, round three the left hook dropped Berlanga.
01:00:43Yeah, that was a sneak left hook.
01:00:44He snuck in the right hand was a little low
01:00:46and he put it right over the top.
01:00:48And that's, I think, his best punch.
01:00:50Canelo's best punch is that left hook.
01:00:52Canelo landing a fight high 27 punches in the 10th.
01:00:56The most landed in a round against Berlanga ever.
01:00:59A minute and a half left in the penultimate round.
01:01:01And Canelo's teeing off that uppercut that he missed.
01:01:04Well, you know, the momentum took him way past the head.
01:01:07So he's really loading up right now.
01:01:10What is it?
01:01:11Canelo semi-apologized for that.
01:01:21His back, Berlanga's back was just old.
01:01:24It was hard for us to see exactly where that punch was.
01:01:28Get up, get up, get up.
01:01:33Canelo's teeing off like a heavy bag right now.
01:01:37He's just missing that overhand right.
01:01:39All night he missed it, man.
01:01:41If he would have landed that right hand.
01:01:42Well, give Berlanga, like I said, he's a smart fighter.
01:01:46Not for putting himself in the corner costume.
01:01:48He's not putting seconds left in the 11th.
01:01:50Penelo putting himself there with the pressure.
01:01:53But he needs to turn away.
01:01:54The corner's been asking for it all night.
01:01:56Easier said than done.
01:01:57But you're only going to get broken down here.
01:01:59Yes, yes.
01:02:00Well, what I mean by a smart fighter,
01:02:01he's been able to survive this attack from this genius,
01:02:06great, unbelievable fighter that you see once in every generation.
01:02:1015 seconds left here in the 11th and that right hand has definitely marked up the eye of Berlanga,
01:02:19but Berlanga trying to stay away.
01:02:21Canelo continues to march forward, fires a left hook.
01:02:2412th and final round upon us here in Las Vegas, Mexican Independence Day weekend.
01:02:30And a beautiful combination by Canelo.
01:02:34I doubt there will be much respect at the end of this fight.
01:02:38He landed that, but Berlanga landed a right uppercut in the right hand himself,
01:02:42coming out of that combination.
01:02:44He's still fighting back.
01:02:4712th round.
01:02:49You gotta give me the best round.
01:02:51It doesn't mean it's a slugfest.
01:02:52Do you understand?
01:02:53This is your son.
01:02:54Are you listening to me?
01:02:55You gotta stay in the center of the ring.
01:02:57Yeah.
01:02:58What do you see?
01:03:00You do?
01:03:01Yeah.
01:03:02You don't know I'm shot.
01:03:03Then we don't need to be on the ropes.
01:03:05Why are we sitting there?
01:03:07Combinations.
01:03:12Combinations.
01:03:13The only combinations.
01:03:22Beautiful.
01:03:23And right from Berlanga.
01:03:24Again, like you mentioned, Joe.
01:03:25Still trying Berlanga.
01:03:26But getting hit too much.
01:03:28There's the heart of the Puerto Rican pride.
01:03:33He's taunting Canelo after taking a beating.
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:36How do you do that?
01:03:37Wow.
01:03:38English.
01:03:395th and final round.
01:03:40He's just too proud.
01:03:41And two proud fighters in the center of the ring.
01:03:43The crowd doesn't like the antics of Berlanga.
01:03:46They love the antics of Canelo.
01:03:48And this Mexican Independence Day weekend.
01:03:51But the amazing thing is they actually shook hands before the top round.
01:03:55Oh, that's right.
01:03:56Splitting the high guard.
01:03:57There's a jab from Berlanga.
01:03:58But again, I mean, he is backing himself into the portal.
01:04:01Click, click, click.
01:04:02Put your hands down.
01:04:03Well, he's got no choice.
01:04:04He's got, you know, Canelo just tracking him relentlessly.
01:04:08No respect from the corner.
01:04:12They won.
01:04:13Berlanga to show Canelo no respect.
01:04:15Sit down.
01:04:16Get into the Slutfest, like his trainer said.
01:04:18If he wants it, this is the time.
01:04:20Less than, well, just over two minutes left in this fight.
01:04:23And again, coming into this fight, Canelo with a career high five straight fights without a finish.
01:04:36The last two beveled by points and then four consecutive wins all by a decision.
01:04:40Both of them predicted a knockout tonight, of course, not partly to promote the fight and hype things up.
01:04:45But man, Canelo is breaking down Edgar Berlanga, but Berlanga's there still with a minute and a half left in the 12th round.
01:04:56Yeah, at this point, it's a victory.
01:04:58I think if Berlanga actually finishes this fight, considering the pressure and the punishment he's taken from Canelo.
01:05:04And you know what? After this, Berlanga's gonna have to take a whole year off. Trust me.
01:05:13Well, these are two rough guys, man.
01:05:15With Canelo especially, but Berlanga too.
01:05:17Sitting down, they're both looking to hit that proverbial home run.
01:05:21With just over a minute left in the fight.
01:05:23The jab from Canelo.
01:05:24Chopping right hand lands for Berlanga.
01:05:26Just grazed him with the left hook upstairs.
01:05:28A minute left in the fight.
01:05:30Right hand in the body by Canelo.
01:05:34Counter left by Berlanga.
01:05:40Berlanga better keep his hands up if he wants to finish this fight.
01:05:43There's a minute left.
01:05:44Beautiful.
01:05:45Left hook upstairs.
01:05:46Left hook faster.
01:05:47The double right from Berlanga.
01:05:48Berlanga continues to throw punches.
01:05:50Berlanga's click on the right.
01:05:52He plays now.
01:05:54Come on, come on.
01:05:55But he's gotta keep his hands up.
01:05:57So, in his first 12 round fight, his first of title fight, as Joe Goosen mentioned, perhaps the...
01:06:10He can take solace in going 12 rounds with one of the world's best.
01:06:15But for Canelo Alvarez on this Mexican Independence game weekend on the 11th anniversary of a 23 year old Canelo being taken to school by Floyd Mayweather.
01:06:25Well Berlanga looking to try to pull things up.
01:06:28But another painful lesson courtesy of Canelo Alvarez.
01:06:33And the other man back, well Canelo's...
01:06:36They're even fighting...
01:06:38Yeah, they're showing respect, but they're fighting for body position.
01:06:41That's the leader, you know what I'm saying.
01:06:43Girl, you stop.
01:06:44After this fight, to tell the truth.
01:06:46You know, I love to see this.
01:06:48They saddled the matters.
01:06:50After a good fight, they give each other a big hug.
01:06:53You know, it's over now.
01:06:54I like this.
01:06:56Good night.
01:06:57You know I love this.
01:06:58Look how nice.
01:07:00And that's very gracious of Canelo.
01:07:03And of course Canelo giving me a more spire because of your day in the middle.
01:07:09He went there Berlanga.
01:07:10He went 12 rounds with him.
01:07:13So, 90 shots.
01:07:14I would get by us here.
01:07:15We could hear these guys.
01:07:16This is great.
01:07:17He's looking at a good shot.
01:07:18He's looking at here baby and hoping.
01:07:21Mucha gente no cost pion Berlanga.
01:07:23But there was a lot.
01:07:24So please focus.
01:07:25Yeah, it was kind of great as soon as they were saying to each other, there was a lot
01:07:51of pressure.
01:07:52After all the harsh words I had, there was some respect for him, and some congratulatory words
01:07:58mentioned between the two.
01:08:00And they parted just like when Plant saw Canelo earlier in the fight.
01:08:06They had a lot of bad blood between them.
01:08:10I'm glad I did.
01:08:11Although knocked down the fight came in the third round, the sweeping left hook for Canelo,
01:08:15sending Berlenga down for the second time in his career, but he was unable to knock out
01:08:20it.
01:08:21And on this Mexican Independence Day weekend, we anticipate the final decision.
01:08:26It should be the 12th title fight win here in Vegas for Canelo, who is, well, trailing
01:08:34the man we were joined at ringside by Julio Cesar Chavez.
01:08:39His 16 world title fight victories in Vegas, the most ever, but Canelo, it appears, will
01:08:46be improving to 16, 2 and 1 here in Las Vegas, and 62, 2 and 2 overall.
01:08:52Unless, all right, let's make it official and get that decision from Jimmy Lennon Jr.
01:09:04Ladies and gentlemen, after 12 rounds of action, we go to the scorecards.
01:09:07We have a unanimous decision.
01:09:09Here are the score totals.
01:09:11Judge of ringside David Sutherland scores the bout 117 to 110.
01:09:18Steve Weisfeld and Max DeLuca both score the bout 118 to 109.
01:09:24All three in favor of the winner.
01:09:29And still unified super middleweight champion of the world, El Orgulloso Guerrero de Guadalajara,
01:09:39Raul Canelo Alvarez.
01:09:46Super middleweight crown for Canelo Alvarez as he sends Edgar Berlanga to his first defeat.
01:09:56Berlanga now 22 and 1.
01:09:58Alvarez, as we mentioned, 62, 2 and 2.
01:10:03Canelo standing by with Jim Gray.
01:10:05All right.
01:10:06Thank you very much.
01:10:07Canelo, congratulations.
01:10:10This was an onslaught where you systematically and methodically were able to destroy him.
01:10:16From your vantage point, how would you assess your performance?
01:10:19No, I did good.
01:10:20You know?
01:10:21Now what they gonna say?
01:10:23I fight younger fighters.
01:10:25Before they say I fight older fighters.
01:10:28Now what they gonna say?
01:10:30He fight younger fighters?
01:10:33They always talk.
01:10:34I'm the best fighter in the world.
01:10:36You had a conversation with Edgar for a minute or two.
01:10:42Quite a long conversation.
01:10:43Can you tell us what was said?
01:10:45No.
01:10:46He said he respect me.
01:10:47I'm his idol.
01:10:48And he respect me so much.
01:10:51And he feel bad.
01:10:52The way he act.
01:10:54Because he knows it's in that way.
01:10:57But you know?
01:10:58He did good.
01:11:00You got angry during the fight, didn't you, with some of those tactics?
01:11:03You were angry.
01:11:04No.
01:11:05With adrenaline, I got a little angry.
01:11:07I'm Mexican man.
01:11:09And to do this on Mexican Independence Day, you've kind of established this as your day
01:11:15to fight.
01:11:16This En Cinco de Mayo.
01:11:17And to do this.
01:11:18And to have this victory over a Puerto Rican fighter.
01:11:21It means a lot.
01:11:22I feel great.
01:11:23I feel grateful.
01:11:24It's an honor for me to present my country in this day, in those days.
01:11:30Mexican Independence.
01:11:31I feel proud about it.
01:11:33I'm grateful that the people support me.
01:11:36And some people say, you don't love me.
01:11:41But guess what?
01:11:42You are here to support me.
01:11:44So, VIVA MEXICO, CABRONES!
01:11:51Canelo, how are you able to manage to connect on 50%, 50% of your power punches?
01:11:57My experience, my talents, my hard work, my intelligence, everything together.
01:12:04Because if you have a talent and you don't have discipline, you have nothing.
01:12:09If you have talent, if you have discipline and you don't have talent, you have nothing
01:12:13the same.
01:12:14So, you need to combine both and hard work.
01:12:18Did you think this fight would be over in the third round when you knocked him down?
01:12:22Could be.
01:12:23Could be.
01:12:24You know, Eddie, here's the time, he slows me down.
01:12:27Every time I do that kind of things and fight smarter.
01:12:30And, you know, works.
01:12:33Works.
01:12:34And I did a great show for my people.
01:12:36And I feel grateful about it.
01:12:37And I feel good.
01:12:39It's always inevitable that we look forward.
01:12:42So everybody's going to start looking forward to Cinco de Mayo.
01:12:45And what what would you like to do? I'm gonna rest and get my family right now, and then I'm gonna decide
01:12:53All right
01:12:55Congratulations, please speak speak to the fans and in Spanish, please

01:13:13Let's go!
01:13:15Do you feel as though Las Vegas is your home as well?
01:13:18It's my second home, but I...
01:13:20Las Vegas is the second home of all the Mexicans, we celebrate 100%
01:13:27The world is of the Mexicans, because we are everywhere
01:13:31¡Viva México!
01:13:33Congratulations
01:13:38Please translate
01:13:40Keep going, you're a great fighter, keep going, keep working, keep busy in the boxing
01:13:47Working, train, fight a lot, and you wanna be champion
01:13:50But keep focused, my friend
01:13:52You're young
01:13:54You're a great champion, thank you, Canelo
01:13:56Thank you
01:13:58Edgar
01:13:59You're a tough guy
01:14:00Got your family in here
01:14:03How would you assess your performance here?
01:14:05He systematically and methodically was able to take it to you
01:14:08How do you feel you did?
01:14:09Um, you know, first and foremost, I wanna think, I wanna give all glory to God
01:14:14My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, cause without him I wouldn't be here
01:14:17You know, um, I wanna thank the fans that came out
01:14:20Los mexicanos, los puertorriqueños, te amo mucho
01:14:23Lo amo muchísimo
01:14:25And we did a, you know, big performance, man, you know, I'm upset, you know, cause at the end of the day I'm a winner
01:14:30You know, but I fought a legend tonight, man
01:14:32And, uh, hopefully this is the mark today of me becoming a future legend representing Puerto Rico
01:14:38How did you manage to keep coming back and coming back for more
01:14:41And seemingly at times even taunting Canelo after losing an exchange?
01:14:45Um, because, you know, I was in the fight, you know, we fighters, man
01:14:48And, um, you know, you know, fighters, we need to throw each other off their game
01:14:53You know, um, I know that I was in there, you know, I took his best shot
01:14:57I believe in the third round, you know, I got dropped, came back
01:15:00You know, and that was the best he gave me
01:15:01So I said, you know what, I can hold these punches, man, and return it
01:15:05What was your thought process in always going into the corner?
01:15:09Um, just give more, you know, a lot more jabs
01:15:12I could've did a lot more, you know, but I was in there with a legend, man
01:15:16You know, uh, so my hat's off go to him and the whole Mexico
01:15:20You know, I love Mexicans, man, they are, that's like my second home
01:15:23You know, I got a lot of friends and family that live in Mexico
01:15:26And I love my Mexican fans, man, they, they're everything to me, you know
01:15:29Finally, from your perspective, what did you say to Canelo in this long conversation that you had?
01:15:34Oh man, I was telling him that he's my idol
01:15:36And it sucks that before I even get to speak to him
01:15:39You know, usually fighters get to have an interaction before they fight
01:15:42And it was just, we got to fight and we signed the contract
01:15:45You know, but that next change, I was just telling him that he's my idol
01:15:48You know, since I was a kid, I was looked up to him, you know
01:15:51And I felt kind of bad that, you know, we had to give bad blood to each other for the first time meeting
01:15:56You know, usually I like to give thanks because I looked up to him, you know
01:15:59I watched him growing up, you know, when I was an amateur going into the pros
01:16:03You know, and I just want to thank him for the opportunity, you know
01:16:06He's at that level where he could pick and choose his fighters
01:16:09You know, he's a king, so he went and chose a Puerto Rican fighter, you know
01:16:13I just want to give thanks to him for that, man
01:16:15I humbly say that, you know
01:16:17Thank you, Team Canelo
01:16:19Lo amo los mexicanos, que viva México y que viva Puerto Rico puñeta
01:16:23Lo amo los mexicanos mucho
01:16:25And you know, this is their weekend, so we got to give them thanks, you know
01:16:28Because we're on their side, their territory
01:16:30But I'm a fighter, you know, I always say that
01:16:32I got a little bit of Mexican in my system, in my blood, man
01:16:35Thank you very much
01:16:36You're a tough guy with a big future
01:16:38Appreciate it, Edgar
01:16:39Thank you so much, I appreciate it
01:16:40And thank you guys
01:16:41I want to thank my team, Team Belanga
01:16:43I want to thank Team Canelo, you know
01:16:45For giving us this opportunity, man, you know
01:16:47Because he's a king
01:16:48So he won't give just anybody the opportunity
01:16:51You know, he gave me
01:16:52A young, strong fighter
01:16:53And a Puerto Rican
01:16:54So I just want to say thank you to him for that
01:16:56Thank you
01:16:57All right, Mauro
01:16:58Back down to you
01:16:59All right, Jim
01:17:00Thank you very much
01:17:01So for Canelo Alvarez
01:17:02Drops his last four opponents
01:17:04Unable to finish them
01:17:05He's now 5-0 with two knockouts
01:17:07Against undefeated opponents
01:17:09Hits at 168 pounds
01:17:11And while he dropped Berlanga
01:17:15It's now six straight decisions for Canelo
01:17:19A career high, but you know what?
01:17:20It was 11 years ago today
01:17:22The 23-year-old Canelo took on an all-time great
01:17:24In Floyd Mayweather
01:17:26He was the student
01:17:27But tonight, it was Professor Canelo
01:17:30Handing out lessons in pain
01:17:33Canelo remains king
01:17:35Mexican Independence Day weekend in Las Vegas
01:17:40Thank you
