    Hell will indeed freeze over before Berlanga gets the benefit of a decision against the Red-headed one.

    Garcia was an overrated welterweight about a decade ago lol and now he's semi-retired, inactive and 2 divisions above his natural weight. Lara is the favourite with the bookmakers and rightly so. It's definitely not an upset, it's expected.

    Lara beating Garcia won't be an upset; if he stops Garcia I will be only mildly surprised. The chances of Berlanga beating Canelo seem miniscule to me; the chances of Berlanga beating Canelo, and then getting the nod on the cards, are even smaller.

    Lara beats Danny. Not an upset really. McCumby doesn't beat Plant and lol Berlanga stands about a 2% chance of being a winner vs Canelo. I smell a body shot stoppage from Alvarez

    Lara over Garcia ain't an upset. Danny winning would be an upset.

    Berlanga has no chance vs. Alvarez, hell he already really lost twice back to back to mediocre guys. Mccumby has less of a chance than Berlanga does against Canelo.

    Not really. Dubious chinning AJ is the upset. I think most people expect AJ to pick Dubious off...but can turn into a gunslinger plodding bodybuilder fight in the blink of an eye.

    If Berlanga was to beat Canelo, it would be up there with Douglas | Tyson and Honeyghan | Curry for me, just can't see it!

    Lara is 1.43 to win it, which is -233 American. So by no stretch of the imagination would it be an upset.
