Canelo Alvarez Meets Top Contender Edgar Berlanga + Shakur Stevenson Injury News And De La Hoya-Vargas Nostalgia | BFW Preview Podcast

Big Fight Weekend Boxing Podcast

It's the return of one of the top draws in the sport of boxing, as future first ballot hall of famer Canelo Alvarez will battle Edgar Berglanga in a pay per view main event in Las Vegas. And, we're ready to go over that and more on the latest "Big Fight Weekend Preview Podcast."
Host T.J. Rives returns with insider Dan Rafael of BigFightWeekend.com, who is on scene in Vegas for Canelo's headlining on Mexican Independence Day Weekend.
Will Alvarez face a challange from the unbeaten but not often tested Berlanga in the scheduled 12 rounder? Will Canelo get the KO that he's predicting? The boys go over it all, and you'll hear from Alvarez in his own words to the media just after the press conference from Wenesday.
The guys also go over the "less than stellar" undercard that includes the WBA middleweight title bout with Erislandy Lara defending against former junior welterweight and welterweight champ, Danny Garcia in the co feature. Hear why Big Dan is opposed this being given title fight status. The undercard also has former champs Caleb Plant, "Rolly" Romero and Stephen Fulton in separate bouts, as well.
Then, there's fight news, as Shakur Stevenson's lightweight title defense for October with England's Joe Cordina is now off due to a hand injury to Shakur. Dan has more, including whether Shakur will skip this fight early next year or not? Dan also updates on what he's learned about when Gervonta Davis might fight next or not?
Then, we wrap with some nostalgia on the anniversaries of Oscar De La Hoya vs. Fernando Vargas in a 2002 grudge match and also a 2012 battle between Sergio Garcia and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. that had a one sided fight turn dramatic the other way in round 12.
