Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez aims to turn the tables on knockout artist Edgar Berlanga on Sept 14, saying he will 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 the 34-year-old, who puts his World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organisation (WBO) belts on the line against the top-rated WBA contender in the 168lb (76kg) division.

Alvarez was stripped of his International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt in July when he opted to take on Berlanga rather than IBF mandatory challenger William Scull.

"Saturday night is going to be very difficult for him, for sure. I've prepared for the knockout. I love the feeling of a knockout. I'm going to do my best to get it done," he added.
