“For Edgar, you beat him as soon as. You need to try to beat him twice for enormous cash. It will be a pleasant drawback to have.

“I believe Edgar has skill. His ring IQ is underrated. We all know he can punch. Each time Munguia took possibilities, he acquired countered and acquired hit loads [by Canelo]. On the one hand, you need to field good and field intelligent, however you’ve acquired to try to make a dent as properly,” stated Hearn.
Berlanga does have good ring smarts, however he’s no match for Canelo, and he tends to get annoyed when his opponents hit him again with good pictures. If he loses his cool in opposition to Canelo, he may get knocked out.
“Canelo’s output has dropped over time. He hasn’t had a stoppage in 5 fights. He’s not at all times on the market making an attempt to place his foot on the fuel and chase down the stoppage. So, you’ve acquired to match him and beat him on work price, and that’s what Dmitry Bivol did so properly in that combat [in 2022],” stated Hearn.
Canelo has gotten by within the final two years by preventing lesser opposition since his loss to Dmitry Bivol. He’s taken the better fighters, beating Jaime Munguia, John Ryder, and Gennadiy Golovkin [40 years old].
