Canelo Alvarez Calls Out Edgar Berlanga’s Fake Respect: A Press Conference That Left Fans in Shock
As the boxing world gears up for the high-stakes showdown on Mexican Independence Day, the rivalry between Canelo Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga has reached a fever pitch. Their fight, scheduled for September 14th, has already generated immense buzz, but the drama was kicked up a notch during a recent press conference that showcased a clash of egos and exposed some unexpected dynamics.
The Press Conference Drama
The press convention, intended to hype the upcoming bout, took a turn for the weird and debatable. According to boxing analyst ShowBizz The Adult, Berlanga’s behavior became a unusual mix of calculated admire and spontaneous aggression. Initially, Berlanga seemed to play the function of a respectful challenger, carrying out a apparently friendly chat with Alvarez. However, the facade speedy crumbled as Berlanga all at once shifted to a extra confrontational stance, a move that honestly irked Alvarez.
ShowBizz’s remark at the state of affairs become blunt: “Berlanga became looking to be a ‘sweetie pie’ in the beginning, which seemed disingenuous. He went from respectful to aggressive, and that inconsistency didn’t sit down properly with Canelo. When Berlanga started trash-speaking and implying that Alvarez’s previous opponents lacked intelligence, it handiest fueled the Mexican’s disdain.”
The boxing pundit went on to explain, “And when he (Berlanga) was trying to be a sweetie pie, and said he had dreams about him, Canelo didn’t respect him. So when Berlanga tried to turn up, Canelo didn’t believe him anymore.”
Alvarez’s Sharp Response
The press conference took a particularly dramatic turn when Berlanga directed his jabs at Caleb Plant, another fighter present at the event. Berlanga made a disparaging remark about Plant’s recent knockout loss, which ignited a heated exchange. Plant, visibly upset, retaliated with anger, prompting Alvarez to step in. With a mix of calm authority and quick wit, Alvarez defused the situation, turning the spotlight back on Berlanga with a cutting remark.
“Caleb, take it easy, I’m gonna take care of him,” Alvarez said, eliciting cheers from the crowd. His intervention not only showcased his composure but also highlighted his strategic approach to handling confrontations. The crowd’s reaction underscored Alvarez’s skillful navigation of the tense moment, amplifying his status as both a seasoned fighter and a tactful presence.
“Not gonna end up like that, fu*k n***a over there, got knocked out.” Plant lost his temper and angrily started abusing him. Alvarez interfered and said, “Caleb, take it easy, I’m gonna take care of him,” and the audience quickly started cheering for the Mexican’s witty reply.

Canelo’s Tactical Brilliance
Alvarez’s handling of the press conference drama drew praise from ShowBizz, who commended the Mexican champion for his response. “Canelo played it perfectly,” ShowBizz remarked. “He didn’t let Berlanga’s antics rattle him. Instead, he kept his cool and made it clear that while Berlanga’s behavior was disrespectful, he would address it in the ring, where it truly matters.”
The incident has fueled anticipation for their upcoming bout, with fans eagerly awaiting to see if Berlanga’s aggressive posturing translates into performance or if Alvarez will once again demonstrate why he is regarded as one of the sport’s elite.
“Canelo was like, ‘dont worry I got it’. So then when he tried to get mad, Canelo said, if I whoop you right now, I’ll mess the money up. He said, but when we fight (pam, pam….throws punches in the air to tell that he’ll smash him). You gotta love Canelo for that one bro.”
