In a heated 12-round battle, Canelo demonstrated his skill, experience, and tenacity, proving why he remains at the top of the boxing world. Despite the intense exchanges, both fighters showed respect for each other. After the fight, Canelo emphasized his position in the sport, stating, “I did great, what are they gonna say? I fight young boxers…they want me to fight young boxers and they will still be talking. I’m the best boxer.”
Canelo acknowledged Berlanga’s efforts, sharing that Berlanga respected him and expressed gratitude for the opportunity. “He said that he respected me, that I was his idol, he thanked me for the opportunity…but he did good,” Canelo added, highlighting the mutual respect between the fighters.
Throughout the fight, tensions ran high, with both boxers exchanging words after warnings from the referee. However, in the end, it was all about respect and recognition. Canelo humorously remarked, “The adrenaline, I got a little upset but I’m Mexican,” acknowledging the fiery nature of the match.
Edgar Berlanga, despite his first professional loss, held his ground against one of the greatest in the sport. “We did a good performance, I feel like a winner,” Berlanga said, reflecting on his resilience throughout the fight.
