The tension is high between Oscar De La Hoya and the upcoming fight between Canelo Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga. De La Hoya, once the promoter of Canelo, has publicly called the fight a “snoozefest” and predicted that it would not exceed 100k homes in terms of pay-per-view buys. His criticism of the fight has caused quite a stir in the boxing world, especially considering his past relationship with Canelo.
In response to De La Hoya’s comments, Berlanga, the unbeaten puncher set to face Canelo, did not hold back. He boldly declared that he would knock Canelo “the f**k out” and fired back at De La Hoya by claiming he is the “PPV king” and that the fight will not be a flop. The heated exchange between the two has added an extra layer of anticipation to the fight.
