There’s no phrase whether or not the value of the Canelo vs. Berlanga occasion can be at a reduction to lure followers into buying it.
Questionable Matchups
- Erislandy Lara vs. Danny Garcia: WBC middleweight champion Lara (30-3-3, 18 KOs) defends his title towards #11 Danny ‘Swift’ (37-3, 21 KOs), who hasn’t fought in two years since 2022.

The winner can be in line to problem champion Canelo for his WBA belt. What’s attention-grabbing about this struggle is Plant has misplaced two out of his final three fights hasn’t fought in 1.5 years, and is being given a golden alternative to punch his ticket to struggle Canelo in a rematch. It’s completely pathetic.
- Rolly Romero vs. Manuel Jaimes: Former WBA mild welterweight champion Rolly (15-2, 13 KOs) is coming off an eighth-round knockout towards Isaac Cruz in March and is combating an unknown unranked light-weight. This can be a transfer to try to save the 29-year-old Rolly’s profession, however I don’t suppose it’ll work. He may lose to this man, which might be good for followers.
Plant’s Path to Canelo Rematch
Plant would wish to beat somebody lots higher than McCumby for followers to indicate curiosity in seeing a rematch between him and Canelo Alvarez in 2025. Canelo knocked out Plant in 2021, and he’s solely gained one struggle since, stopping 38-year-old Anthony Dirrell in 2022 earlier than shedding to David Benavidez final 12 months in March 2023. Plant has not fought since.
For followers to be keen to pay to see Canelo-Plant, ‘Sweethands’ Plant would wish to beat contender like Christian Mbilli as a result of McCumby isn’t adequate.
This man has zero notable wins on his inflated 28-0 file, and it’s unbelievable that he’s floated round for 14 years with out combating anybody recognizable. How on earth is that this man ranked within the prime 15, and why hasn’t they fought anybody? We all know why Plant is combating him; he’s been crushed twice in his final three fights and is needy, however no phrases describe how poor this struggle is.
Danny Garcia’s Title Shot Based mostly on Previous Glories
Followers are shocked that the 36-year-old Danny Garcia is being given a title shot after two years out of the ring, however he will get the chance based mostly on his accomplishments within the distant previous.
The previous two-division world champion Danny was a preferred fighter in 2012, however his profession has fallen aside since he misplaced his WBC 147-lb title to Keith Thurman in 2017. Since that loss, Garcia has misplaced two out of his final six fights and crushed solely lesser opposition.
Like many former world champions who grew to become millionaires, Danny Garcia’s exercise stage has dropped to nothing not too long ago. No matter ambition Garcia as soon as had disappeared after he made a lot cash from his PPV fights towards Errol Spence and Thurman. In line with Celeb Internet Price, Danny Garcia’s web price is $8 million, which places him in the identical ballpark as Andy Ruiz.
The one shock is Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, the not too long ago knocked-out WBA mild welterweight champion, combating light-weight Manuel Jaimes (16-1-1, 11 KOs) in a 10-rounder. This struggle is a confidence booster for Rolly (15-2, 13 KOs) as a result of his opponent, Jaimes, isn’t ranked within the prime 15 at light-weight.
Rolly has seemed so poor in his final three fights that he can’t be trusted to beat even this stage of opponent, and it gained’t be a shock if he’s knocked out once more.
Romero misplaced two out of his final three fights, and his solely win within the final two years was his controversial knockout win over Ismael Barroso in a struggle he was shedding.
