Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga prediction: Picking the winner

The Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga prediction is here to provide fans with some insight into what could transpire on Sept. 14. The two men clash in the headline bout of a collaboration between Canelo Promotions and PBC. Despite featuring three title fights, the card has been overshadowed by another battle.

It will be competing directly with Noche UFC 306 for the attention of combat sports fans come next weekend. Some are confident in Alvarez's card doing well, as it also hosts the return of trash-talker extraordinaire Caleb Plant, who faces Trevor McCumby for the interim WBA super middleweight gold.

Furthermore, Rolando 'Rolly' Romero, who once faced Gervonta Davis, will look to bounce back from a two-fight losing skid by taking on Manuel Jaimes. The action should deliver excitement, but who are the expected winners?

#1. WBC, WBA, and WBO super middleweight titles: Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga

The leadup to Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga has been defined by the legendary Mexican's dismissal of Berlanga as a threat. After all, Alvarez is an all-time great who has faced the very best that boxing has to offer and has rarely tasted defeat.

Berlanga, for all of his bravado, is unlikely to trouble him. The challenger is young, powerful, and undefeated. Unfortunately, he struggles to maintain his pace in the later rounds, where his technique and discipline decline dramatically. If that were to happen against Alvarez, it would be costly.

Alvarez is too tough and defensively sound for Berlanga to consistently land clean shots against, let alone hurt, given that even feared knockout artist Gennady Golovkin couldn't as much as rock the Mexican champion. Moreover, Canelo's cardio, technique, and power will prove too much for Berlanga.

Look for Alvarez to break him down as the fight progress and score a late-round stoppage to retain the WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight titles.

The Prediction: Canelo Alvarez via late-round stoppage
