    This Berlanga is 6’1, undefeated, he’s a big lad compared to Canelo. He’s gone the distance 4 or 5 times as of late which proves he’s resilient and knows how to pace himself.

    I think Berlanga has longevity and could last the full 12 rounds and have his moments. I think there is an element with Berlanga in his media showcase that shows that he really wants this.

    Canelo, in my opinion, 5’7, started his career at 140 pounds, he currently is really a 160-pound fighter.

    Canelo UD 12 is my prediction but I won’t be surprised to see Berlanga’s hand raised in some form or another.

    Thanks for the video; whilst I think Canelo will win, I don't think the fight will be a redux of the Fielding or Yildirim bouts. Berlanga still has the lustre of his zero and I think he will dig in for as long as he physically can. I think a fifth round stoppage for Canelo is about right; though I would not be surprised if he is stopped earlier, and I would be pretty surprised if he makes it much later.

    I think this fight is going to be far more competitive than the more casual fans have expect. I do expect canelo to stop him late though.

    I suspect Canelo picked Berlanga because he doesn't have the experience to beat Canelo which is probably true. Thought Rummy was spot on about Canelo beginning his decline and based on his fight selection his management probably believes it too. Will we ever see Canelo fight Benavidez? a rematch with Bivol? Beterbiev ? he is the right age .How about Mbilli? At this point ,I think these will never happen.

    Great video again from Rummy. Thank You.
    Now I'm no Berlanga fan & I am DEFINATELY not a Canelo fan. Nothing would please me more than to see Berlana shock the world & knock Canelo out. For me Canelo's career has been all smoke & mirrors. Once Floyd claimed he's retired Canelo took his mantle The Vegas judges were blatantly biased on several "winning decisions" they Gifted Canelo with. Referees Cortez & Bayless protected him by stopping opponents from fighting. GGG beat him twice got screwed. The fight that took his soul was with Bivol Who not only beat the living daylights out of him but ,as friend in the gym put it, He basically neutered Canelo without throwing one low blow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAR BERLANGA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    @Rumsfeld I'll be honest I've only got to watching your last 3-4 videos but I'm a big fan of them now and look forward to them. You're doing a great job, keep it up.

    Big Red going to face the heat and then toss B out the kitchen.
    Berlanga is coming to WIN and will let it all hang out with Canelo. I like this fight as it should provide some fireworks for as long as it last.
    I think B is going to wake Canelo up a few times and take advantage of the situation.

    This will be fun but I can’t see this going past the 8th round.

    I honestly think this kid will snap the head and body often on Canelo and do it early. This will embarrass and frustrate Canelo which will then motivate him. Canelo will start counter punching his way to a KO around the 5th or 6th round.

    Canelo by KO round 7 or 8.

    Great job Rummy and there is absolutely no way you just cursed Canelo:D:bump

    I see no scenario that leads me to believe that Berlanga has a chance, not even a punchers chance. I do think Canelo stops him, but I think it might be a bit later than 5..................maybe 9-10 after a very sustained beating.
