Canelo had collected four victories (all via unanimous decision) since his upset-loss to Dmitry Bivol in 2022, and the Mexican champion made it five in a row when he handed Berlanga the first loss of his career with another largely-dominant decision victory.

The night’s co-main event featured Erislandy Lara stepping into the ring to defend his WBA World Middleweight Title against Danny Garcia, who was returning to action for the first time since taking a majority decision over Jose Benavidez Jr. in July 2022 but ultimately retired from the fight after the ninth round.

The final main card offering was a 140 lbs. bout between Rolando Romero and Manuel Jaimes that saw Romero take a clear-cut unanimous decision victory over Jaimes.
