Sports news
Alvarez by unanimous decision: “The odds suggest that Berlanga has a chance as a puncher at best, but even that is unlikely. Canelo has an iron jaw, as evidenced by the fact that he has hardly ever been shaken and has never been down in his 65-fight career. Is Berlanga really the guy who can take the win from him? Canelo hasn’t won by stoppage in almost four years, so an absolutely dominant victory by unanimous decision in 12 rounds is the best bet.”
