“He has to feel the pain.” Canelo spoke about the upcoming fight against Berlanga
Undisputed super middleweight champion Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez shared his expectations for the upcoming fight against American boxer Edgar Berlanga.
"How's my preparation going? It's going great. I always train at 100 percent, I feel good, and I'm ready for that night.
Berlanga? He's skilled, strong, young, and hungry for victories, but there's nothing new for me. I've faced all kinds of fighters: tough ones, strong ones. I'm just going to step into the ring and do my job.
Is he the best puncher? I don't know; I'll be able to answer that after the fight. I know that I'm strong and I want to do everything possible to make him feel some serious pain. I'm focused on that," said Canelo, as quoted by the YouTube channel TMZSports/Tribuna.com.
The fight between Canelo and Edgar Berlanga is set to take place on September 14 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
On the night of May 4-5, Saúl Álvarez successfully defended his title by defeating fellow countryman Jaime Munguía.
