Caleb Plant does not hold back when expressing his doubts about Edgar Berlanga’s ability to defeat Canelo Alvarez in their upcoming match. Plant highlights three key weaknesses in Berlanga’s arsenal that make his chances of winning seem slim. These weaknesses include a weak chin, lack of experience, and poor technical boxing skills.
Lack of Genuine Competition
Despite Berlanga’s impressive undefeated record, it is evident that he has not faced genuine world-class opposition throughout his career. His promoters have strategically selected opponents to ensure his unbeaten streak, but this has also resulted in a lack of development in Berlanga’s skillset. The struggles Berlanga faced against second-tier fighters further highlight his inadequacies when it comes to facing top-tier competition.
It is clear that Berlanga’s management may have prioritized maintaining his unbeaten record over his overall development as a boxer. This strategy has left Berlanga unprepared to face a fighter of Canelo Alvarez’s caliber. Berlanga’s lack of experience and technical skills may prove to be his downfall when he steps into the ring with the seasoned champion.
Despite the odds stacked against him, Berlanga’s only hope of defeating Canelo Alvarez seems to lie in delivering a lucky knockout blow. Plant acknowledges that Berlanga may surprise everyone and prove his critics wrong when the bell rings, but the chances of that happening appear to be slim based on Berlanga’s skillset and lack of experience.
Edgar Berlanga faces an uphill battle in his upcoming fight against Canelo Alvarez. His lack of genuine competition, questionable management decisions, and overall skill deficiencies make it unlikely for him to emerge victorious. While anything can happen in boxing, Berlanga’s chances of beating a seasoned champion like Canelo seem slim at best.
