Heavy light?

This is a clear sign that Berlanga has to go to a slight heavy weight (175) because it meant that he was rehydrated in 193 for his last struggle. You have to fight in a weight class you can do. Understandably, he does not want to pass until 175 because it is where all the murderers are. The heavyweight light division is full of talented fighters who would destroy a limited boy like Berlanga, and his career would be done almost immediately.

Even with a protective promotional company such as Top Rank or Matchroom, they couldn’t do it with Edgar if it competed for lightweight weight. There are too many good fighters because MANIOBRIN Berlanga around her.

Berlanga (22-1, 17 kos) claims that he had the flu and knew he would not be able to make weight, but he chose to stay on the card. However, he has been seeking heavy for months, celebrating his loss in front of the Super -Pes, Canelo Alvarez champion last September.

Revealing that he has been fighting the flu could benefit Berlanga if he loses with Gonzalez-Ortiz (20-0-1, 16 kos) or if he struggles to win. However, it is a bad look to lose weight for 1.6 pounds, as it is about to become a free agent. Saturday is the Berlanga final struggle of the Super Middleweight Berlanga with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Company and says he wants to sign with a different promoter or network to make “The big bag. “”

If you are a promoter, you must look at the colossal size of Berlanga for the 168 -pound division, its unilateral loss in Canelo and its weak curriculum and conclude that it is not someone who will be useful for fights against first -level opposition to Super Media. This is if you can even make weight.

It will be suitable for a single fight against one of the contestants, which will probably lose badly, and then it is over. Berlanga is the type that must be combined with the weak opposition, the way the upper rank was made and how Hearn maneuver it.

Warrior or weak?

“People don’t know, but I had the flu. I fought with my health and knew it at a certain time, I couldn’t do it, “said Edgar Berlanga to FighthypeExplaining why he lost the weight today, reaching 1.6 pounds over the £ 168 limit for his main fight against Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz this Saturday night in Orlando.

Having the flu does not explain why Berlanga has seemed a cruise weight since his loss in Canelo last September. He has always been great, but he seems to be filled after this defeat.

“Everyone outside, they know that I do this sport very serious, especially with my health. There is nothing to say. We are still fighting. I mean to my fans that the other is not what it is. We could have left the fight if we wanted to base on my health situation. I am a warrior, brother.

“I will just get out of there and make the show happen. I left many fans here, buy tickets and plane tickets, flights from Puerto Rico. We’ll get tomorrow. Tune tomorrow. You will see what happens.

“He has something to prove. Look at what happened to Munguia,” Berlanga said about his well-known 35-year-old, Jonathan Gonzalez-Oriz, who today had an unfortunate physical condition, which carried a father’s body. “This cannot be us on March 15,” Berlanga said.
