Dawejko says he wasn’t looking for relief — for extra time to recover while the mouthpiece was cleaned and replaced

It was a right hand thrown from so far out and with such an arced trajectory that Daniel Dubois’ black glove almost scraped the base of the famous Wembley arch.

Edgar Berlanga’s back is against the wall against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez ahead of their fight on Saturday night.  Only the folks inside the undefeated upstart Berlanga’s (22-0, 17 KOs) camp are giving him a chance to beat the super middleweight king Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs).  Add David Benavidez’s team as the unofficial president of Berlanga’s
