00:00We're a month away, exactly a month away now.

00:04How is training going?

00:05How you feeling, man?

00:06Great, my friend.

00:07I'm, you know, I always train 100% and I feel great.

00:12I'm ready for this Saturday.

00:13I mean, yeah, it's going to be a lot of fun.

00:16You go back to Vegas, T-Mobile Arena, obviously, you know, a Mexican Independence Day weekend.

00:21It's a weekend that you often do fight.

00:24How about the importance of that, though, Canelo, it being just two days before Independence

00:28Day?

00:29You know, for me, it's always great to represent my country on those days.

00:34I always try to fight in those days because it's important for me and for my Mexican fans.

00:43So I'm glad to be here.

00:45I'm glad to fight in May and September.

00:51And I'm very honored.

00:54Give me the scouting report on Edgar.

00:57He's a relatively young guy, obviously, he's 22 and he's got 17 knockouts.

01:01He had that knockout streak to start his career.

01:04What do you make of Edgar Berlanga?

01:07What's he good at?

01:08What's he not good at?

01:09No, he's good.

01:10He's strong.

01:11He's young.

01:12He's hungry.

01:13But, you know, he's nothing new for me.

01:15I've been in there with all the kind of fighters, difficult fighters, strong fighters.

01:22And I'm just going to go there and do my business.

01:28You fought guys who are big punchers before.

01:31I mean, you fought, you know, Gennady three times, Sergey Kovalev, I mean, Danny Jacobs.

01:38Do you think that Edgar, and obviously you haven't been in there with him yet, but do

01:42you think that Edgar is the biggest puncher that you faced in your career or who have

01:45you faced guys who have more power?

01:47I don't know, my friend.

01:48I don't know yet.

01:49You tell me after the fight?

01:51Yeah, I'm going to find out September 14th.

01:53But, you know, I'm strong.

01:56I'm strong and I'm looking to do my best there and let him feel so much pain.

02:07So I'm focused on that.

02:11I saw he said something like, Canelo should be careful, I knock out heavyweights in training.

02:17Does that concern you at all?

02:18Me too.

02:19So I'm not heavyweight, but I'm more stronger than them.

02:26I believe that too.

02:28When you see it going, I mean, do you see it, do you believe you can get him out of

02:32there quick?

02:33I mean, is it something where you think he's resilient and it goes to the scorecards likely?

02:37How do you imagine the fight turns out?

02:40I don't know how quick, but I'm going to do my job and I'm going to try to let him

02:48feel so much pain and then knock out him.

02:54What would you say to Edgar Canelo if he's watching this?

03:07What's the message to him 30 days before you go in there with him?

03:11Nothing.

03:12He already know.

03:13He already know and he's going to need a really good camp.

03:18So I hope he prepare himself really well because he's going to need it.

03:25Do you think that he's in over his head here?

03:28There's fighting good fighters and then there's fighting Canelo Alvarez and now he's fighting

03:32Canelo Alvarez.

03:33Like I say to everybody, it's not the same fight with other fighters like fighting with

03:38me and he's going to find out September 14th.
