Canelo-Berlanga 2: Fighting Strategy
- Improve defense: The left hook on defense against Canelo was key to Berlanga, as that was throwing his weapon in the second round. Alvarez relied on his hook to control most of the battle, keeping Brooklyn in the New York natives cautious and fighting at the back foot. Neutralizing that left hook would be the key to Berlanga’s victory, because without that weapon, Alvarez would not have enough offense to compete.
- Add punch output: Berlanga has to throw more punches in the rematch. In their first battle, he shot only 119 shots on Canelo and was eliminated by the Mexican star. Edgar should allow this to happen.
- Focus on internal combat: Canelo had problems with the interior of Berlanga and took a lot of shots from him. In the rematch, Edgar should fight at close range and use his successful top. Last time he had better accuracy and his power was great. You will see the effects of their fists as they land on Canelo’s head. He is able to generate a lot of power at close range shooting.
Berlanga restored his roots and became once again the seeking and sabotage fighter he encountered at the beginning of his career. In the match against Canelo, he will immediately follow him, focusing on throwing power, forcing the Mexican Stars to defend.

Berlanga’s return: aggressive style
Against Canelo, Edgar changed his fighting style, boxing the Mexican Stars in the first 11 rounds. This method is unfamiliar with Bellanga’s battles all the time. But when Berlanga switches a button on the twelfth time, the glittering Canelo, he lets him roll up, gets cruelly punished, and collapses from the pressure.
Although Turki Alalshikh publicly admitted on X last week that he would be “very frustrated” if Berlanga knocked down Hazah “Big Plan” For him, Edgar intends to undermine that vision with his July 12 victory. Canelo still has to play a match against Berlanga on September 13, but it could happen.
