"He looks in shape already"—fans react to Canelo Alvarez training with heavy bag ahead of Edgar Berlanga boxing match

Canelo Alvarez shared a video of himself working the heavy bag, and fans cannot seem to get enough of the Mexican superstar.

Alvarez sharpened his tools before his fight against Edgar Berlanga in September, and the action enthralled his fans.

One fan noted the impressive physical frame the champion is in:

"He looks in shape already"

Another fan commented on how this could be the best version of Canelo ever:

"Is it just me or he looks better?"

One fan asserted that Canelo Alvarez should finish Berlanga; anything less would be disappointing.

"There’s is no excuse to not stop Berlanga. This fight shouldn’t go past 5 stretch would be 7. If it goes to distance it’s going to be a bad look for Canelo."

"Bag putting up more of a fight than we should expect in September"

Although the fight is on Sept. 14, the 34-year-old is adamant on leaving no stone unturned in preparation for Edson Berlanga. The fight is also unique because it takes place during Mexican Independence Week, and Alvarez must be determined to give his Mexican fans a memorable night.

Canelo Alvarez will be in trouble if he fights Terence Crawford, says Crawford's coach

Terence Crawford will face WBA champion Israil Madrimov for the 154-pound title on August 3, and as the fight approaches in Riyadh, Bud's coach, Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre, shared his thoughts on facing the super middleweight champion.

"Canelo has been in the game long enough to know what he's doing... If [Crawford] does get Canelo right after the Madrimov fight, [Canelo] might just be in a little bit of trouble. Because [Crawford] has got that rhythm, he's into that rhythm, into his groove. It's a good thing for Terence."

Check out Brian McIntyre's comments on what would happen if Alvarez met Bud in the ring (6:25):

Although both fighters have opponents lined up for their next fights, a superfight would undoubtedly pique fans' interest. As the two best pound-for-pound pugilists in the world, their clash would be nothing short of legendary.

Terence Crawford will face Israil Madrimov on Aug. 3rd in Riyadh, while Canelo Alvarez will square off against Edson Berlanga on Sept. 14th in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
