Alvarez seeks KO win vs Berlanga

LOS ANGELES, United States — Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez aims to turn the tables on knockout artist Edgar Berlanga on Saturday (Sunday in Manila), saying he'll be looking for a knockout himself as he defends his three super middleweight world boxing titles in Las Vegas.

'It's easy to say you'll knock me out, but it's much more difficult to do it,' said Alvarez, who puts his World Boxing Association, World Boxing Council and World Boxing Organization belts on the line against the top rated WBA contender in the 168-pound division.
