Athletes are a source of pride for their nations, and when they succeed on the global stage, fans make sure to celebrate their achievements with a warm welcome. Just think of the uproar when Argentina won the World Cup—thousands flooded the streets to honor their champions. This time, though, things took a turn when Edgar Berlanga, despite losing to Canelo Alvarez, received a warm reception back at home. Gervonta Davis couldn’t resist chiming in, playfully poking fun at Berlanga’s unexpected welcome.
Recently, the Puerto Rican boxer dropped a video on Twitter where he is chilling on top of a car with some of his close ones. In the video, loud music plays as a crowd of fans rides with him on motorcycles and scooters, making for an energetic celebration. Normally, athletes receive this kind of treatment after achieving something monumental or making their country proud. However, since Berlanga just came off a loss to Alvarez on Mexican Independence Day, it raises an interesting question: why is he getting such a warm welcome?
Davis took to X (formerly Twitter), expressing his disbelief at the warm reception Berlanga received after the fight. He couldn’t help but mock the situation, questioning the rationale behind the celebration when Berlanga had just suffered a clear huge defeat that was also a brutal loss. He stated, “N***a celebrating failure..lol yo congrats on getting ya a** beat..”

However, one should remember that fans often develop a parasocial relationship with stars like him. Win or lose, these athletes still receive celebrations, even after tough defeats. Since the fight against Alvarez was part of the Mexican-Puerto Rican rivalry, it seems the fans chose to honor him for representing their culture and for standing up to one of the world’s best fighters.
Canelo Alvarez Hails Gervonta Davis Better Than Shakur Stevenson
In sports, fans love to compare athletes and debate who’s the best. Right now, boxing is buzzing with discussions about who reigns supreme: Davis or Stevenson. This ongoing debate got a boost recently when a boxing legend weighed in, declaring his support for Davis and even stating he’d bet all his money on him.
Talking to PPV.Com Canelo stated, “Shakur Stevenson is a good fighter. He moves a lot, and it’s very difficult to hit him, but I like Gervonta Davis; he’s a really good fighter. He hits hard. And he knows how to go forward. I put my money on Gervonta.”

Although Alvarez is backing ‘Tank’, the real answer will come when Davis and Stevenson finally face off. For now, fans will have to wait since ‘Tank’ is already set to fight Lamont Roach in December, while Stevenson is still hunting for his next opponent. Whether or not they’ll ever square off remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Canelo is betting on Davis all the way.
