Canelo dominates Berlanga, retains world titles
By Miguel Maravilla at ringside
WBC/WBA/WBO super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs) scored a twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated contender Edgar Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs) on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Canelo pressed forward from the opening bell and landed the harder shots. Berlanga fought cautiously early on. In round three, Canelo dropped Berlanga with a left hook. Berlanga survived the round. Things heated up in round five when both fighters were warned for low blows. Berlanga had some success with his jab, with Canelo connecting with the harder shots. in round eight, Canelo started punishing Berlanga for the rest of the way. Scores were 117-110, 118-109, 118-109. Fifth straight decision for Canelo.

Canelo: I’m the best fighter in the world
FacebookTwitterReddit
Canelo Alvarez post-fight comments…
“I did good. Now what are they gonna say? They said I don’t fight young fighters. They always talk, but I’m the best fighter in the world.”
“I got a little angry with his tactics, but I’m Mexican man. It means a lot to fight on this day. It’s an honor to represent my country on this day.”
“My experience and my talent was the difference. It’s about hard work and intelligence. It’s everything together. If you have talent, you need discipline as well.”
“When I knocked him down, I wanted to fight smart. I listened to Eddy Reynoso, boxed and gave a great show for my people.”
“A lot of people say we can’t, but we can. Las Vegas is like a second home for Mexicans. We are warriors and we never give up.”
“I’m going to rest and then I’m going to decide what’s next.”

Carlos Castro to win @ $6.00 at a stretch.
Castro probably deserved the nod.

del la Hoya didn't see the fight I saw. For once, Canelo was exciting to watch, using skill and trading bombs with Berlanga.

Yip Die I watched it and Canelo was brilliant - walking down the bigger man -taking away his advantages and dismantling his gameplan.
You don't need a KO when this dominant
