The unusually long embrace Saul “Canelo” Álvarez and Edgar Berlanga shared as soon as the final bell sounded Saturday night signified that the brave Berlanga earned Álvarez’s respect during a 12-round fight that initially looked like it would end much earlier.
Álvarez blasted Berlanga with a flush left hook that dropped the huge underdog to the seat of his trunks barely a minute into the third round. Brooklyn’s Berlanga banged his gloves together in frustration, fought out of that trouble and remained on his feet throughout a fight BetMGM listed Álvarez as a 16-1 favorite to win.
