Canelo Alvarez vs Edgar Berlanga LIVE: Start time, undercard, fight updates and results tonight

Guy Ritchie-directed trailer for Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois is released

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez boxes Edgar Berlanga in Las Vegas tonight, defending the unified super-middleweight titles at the T-Mobile Arena.

The Mexican last fought in May – in the same venue – and scored a knockdown of compatriot Jaime Munguia en route to a decision win, having done the same against Jermell Charlo last September and John Ryder last spring.

Meanwhile, American Berlanga enters Vegas with a perfect record of 22-0, including 17 stoppage victories. One of those knockouts came in his last fight, as the 27-year-old stopped Padraig McCrory in February.

Now Berlanga gets his chance to defy the doubters, amid suggestions from many fans that Alvarez is seeking ‘easy’ fights as he edges towards retirement; such fans were keen to see the 34-year-old box David Benavidez this Mexican Independence weekend, but Berlanga gets his shot at the world titles instead.

Canelo vs Berlanga LIVE: Rolando Romero vs Manuel Jaimes

Into the final few rounds. Romero just misses with an overhand right and left hook.

Jaimes backs up Romero to the ropes and leans on him, but Romero fires back with a mean right hook to the body.

A messy exchange now, with both men using their forearms to create space, and Romero manages to find a shot first.

Left uppercut lands for Romero! Better round for him.

Canelo vs Berlanga LIVE: Rolando Romero vs Manuel Jaimes

Jaimes continues to hold the centre of the ring for the most part. He’s keeping an active jab, too.

Romero looks to get some respect with his own jab, before a spell of grappling ensues.

Romero is still leaving himself quite exposed when going for bigger shots.

Canelo vs Berlanga LIVE: Rolando Romero vs Manuel Jaimes

Both fighters are letting their hands go now. Romero is leaving some gaps in his defence when he attacks. Jaimes seems to be growing in confidence.

But now Romero shows off some better defence, keeping one hand high and moving back at an angle to avoid Jaimes’s offence.

Canelo vs Berlanga LIVE: Rolando Romero vs Manuel Jaimes

Jaimes is on unsteady feet again, but it seems to be from faults in his footwork, rather than from any significant damage caused by Romero. That said, Romero did land a couple of hooks in that spell.

Romero misses after winging a right hook, but he lands a left hook after a right uppercut. Now a clubbing right connects.

Jaimes presses forward anyway. He lands a couple of jabs and a spearing right cross, with Romero backed up to the ropes.

Canelo vs Berlanga LIVE: Rolando Romero vs Manuel Jaimes

Stern jab by Jaimes. Romero fires back with a one-two. Another uppercut from Romero, then some well-timed hooks.

Jaimes loads up on a couple of right hands, but Romero controls the range well to stay out of danger.

Nice hook by Jaimes now, however, as he finally manages to close range. Another uppercut by Romero, who catches Jaimes on the end of the shot.

Jaime with some good work late in the round, though.

Canelo vs Berlanga LIVE: Rolando Romero vs Manuel Jaimes

Romero has Jaimes in trouble early in round three! He catches Jaimes with a lead uppercut, which has his opponent wobbly… Romero pours on shots, with Jaimes’s back to the ropes, but Jaimes is eventually able to get free.

A replay seems to show an accidental elbow from Romero during that barrage.

Canelo vs Berlanga LIVE: Rolando Romero vs Manuel Jaimes

Romero with a right uppercut and left hook at close range! Jaimes stays on the front foot, though, trying to assert himself.

Nice jab by Jaimes. And another. Romero is pawing at his own left eye. Something bothering him there?

Another strong hook by Romero, though! He follows up with some jabs and decent guard work. He’s increasing his output now.

A scrappy end to the round, with both men leaning on each other and struggling to land clean while in close.

Both men stand orthodox. Ten rounds scheduled here. Romero using the jab early, first to the body and then to the head.

Jaimes rakes the centre of the ring and presses forward. Both men throw crosses – neither seemed to quite land.

There’s a brief break in the action after some grappling between the pair. And again.

More of the same, in a stop-start round. Now Romero misses with a wild overhand right. He gets back to his jab.
