How To Bet Alvarez
Alvarez has already won this fight. This bout was over the moment it was booked. Canelo could show up drunk, blind, concussed and with one arm tied behind his back and still whup Berlanga 100 times out of 100. He's faster, more experienced, and rightfully more confident ahead of this fight. Berlanga talks a big game (perhaps that's why he earned this title shot), but he won't be able to contend with Alvarez's footwork and speed.
Alvarez has developed a penchant for taking bouts to decision, but I'm counting on a KO by the Red Rocket, which we can get at shorter -275 odds.
How to Bet Berlanga
Unless he bribes the judges, Berlanga won't win a decision. He'll need to knock Alvarez out (+2500) to win this fight. Unfortunately, Berlanga telegraphs his punches, limiting the effectiveness of his legit power. He might get all hyped up and come out firing, but the challenger won't bring anything Canelo hasn't seen before.
Give your money to charity instead of betting on Berlanga.
Alvarez vs Berlanga Pick
