ITโ€™S hard to know what Edgar Berlanga will bring to the party this Saturday evening. A verified puncher at a certain level, the knockouts have dried up of late (last fight aside). Canelo, meanwhile, can bang with the best, but with 60-plus fights under his belt and a lack of mobility at the higher weights, this one could play out a little different than expected. Hereโ€™s a rundown of the vital statistics.
