Let me break it down for you. It was a big one, and everyone was talking about it.
Canelo Alvarez (you know, the super middleweight champion) went up against Edgar Berlanga on September 30th, 2023, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight was part of a huge boxing event celebrating Mexican Independence Day, so the energy was electric.
Canelo, he’s a legend, a true champion, and this fight was a bit of a mismatch, to be honest. Berlanga had some impressive wins under his belt, but he was facing a whole different level of fighter in Canelo.
So, who won? Well, the champ came out on top, as expected. Canelo took the win by unanimous decision, proving once again why he’s considered one of the best boxers in the world. He outboxed Berlanga, using his speed and agility to keep Berlanga off-balance. He landed some powerful punches, but Berlanga was able to stay in the fight and didn’t go down.
The judges scored it 117-110, 118-109, 118-109, all in favor of Canelo.
After the fight, Canelo looked pretty happy, He’s always a good sport, and he gave Berlanga some credit for putting up a fight. But it was pretty clear who the better boxer was that night.
Canelo, he’s known for his incredible power and for being able to take a punch. He’s also a really smart fighter, so he knows how to use his strengths to his advantage. He’s got a lot of experience and has a lot of wins under his belt. He’s been boxing since he was a kid and has been at the top of the game for years.
Berlanga, he’s a pretty good fighter, too, but he’s not quite at Canelo’s level yet. He’s got some great punching power and a lot of heart, but he needs to develop some more skills to compete with the top guys.
Here’s a table showing how the fight went down:
| Round | Canelo | Berlanga |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Strong start | Seemed a little nervous |
| 2 | Continued pressure | Started to find his rhythm |
| 3 | Dominant, landed some good punches | Tough, but taking a beating |
| 4 | Started to tire a bit | Looking for a knockout punch |
| 5 | Got back on track | Still fighting hard |
| 6 | Controlling the fight | Getting tired |
| 7 | Taking advantage | Getting outclassed |
| 8 | Still in control | Struggling to land punches |
| 9 | Pushing harder | Starting to lose hope |
| 10 | Maintaining the lead | No clear path to victory |
| 11 | Cruising towards victory | Trying to survive |
| 12 | Finished strong | Couldn’t pull off the upset |
So, that’s the story of Canelo Alvarez’s last fight. A dominant win for the champ, and a tough night for Berlanga.
