Canelo vs. Berlanga: How to watch, time and more

LAS VEGAS — Canelo Alvarez will make his eighth defense of his super middleweight title against Edgar Berlanga on Saturday, Sept. 14 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (Prime Video PPV, 8 p.m. ET).

Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs) won his first super middleweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Callum Smith in December 2020. He became the undisputed champion by defeating Caleb Plant in November 2021 and successfully defended his title four times before being stripped by the IBF in July after Alvarez decided to face Berlanga instead of the IBF’s No. 1 mandatory challenger William Scull.

The Alvarez-Berlanga fight will be for the WBC, WBO and WBA titles. The lineal championship is also at stake.

Alvarez, 34, of Jalisco, Mexico, claimed a unanimous decision victory over Jaime Munguia in May, following another convincing win over Jermell Charlo last September.

Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs) began his career with 16 straight wins by KO — in the first round! He has just one KO in his last six fights.

The 27-year-old Berlanga, from Brooklyn, New York, is fighting in his first title fight and first PPV event.

Also on the bill is Ersilandy Lara (30-3-3, 18 KOs) who defends his WBA middleweight title against two-time champion Danny Garcia.

Lara, 41, from Guantanamo, Cuba, but now living in Houston, Texas, has fought just once since May 2022, a second-round knockout victory over Michael Zerafa in March. Garcia, 36, of Philadelphia, last fought in July 2022, a majority decision victory over Jose Benavidez Jr.
