Lightweight heavy?

This is a clear sign that Berlanga must move up to the lightweight barrel (175) because he was reported to have re -established in 193 for his last match. He has to fight in a class of weight he can do. It is understood that he does not want to move until 175, because there are all killers there. The lightweight heavyweight separation is full of talented fighters who will destroy a limited type such as Berlanga and his career would be almost immediately immediately.

Even with a protective advertising company such as the top class or the matching room, they couldn’t do much with Edgar if they competed in Light Weavyweight. There are too many good fighters to maneuver Berlanga around them.

Berlanga (22-1, 17 kos) claims he had the flu and knew he could not make weight, but chose to stay on the card. However, he seemed heavy for months, seemingly celebrating his loss in the hyper -inflationary champion Canelo Alvarez last September.

By revealing that he has learned the flu could benefit Berlanga if he loses Gonzalez-Torz (20-0-1, 16 kos) or if he struggles to win. Still, it is a bad appearance to lose weight by 1.6 lbs as he is going to become a free agent. Saturday is the final match of the Super Middleweight Convention with Eddie Hearn Matchroom and says he wants to sign with a different supporter or network to do ‘The big bag. ”

If you are a supporter, you must see Berlanga’s colossal size for the 168 LB section, its one -sided loss in Canelo and its weak resume and the conclusion that it is not someone who will be useful for fighting against the opposition of the Super Middleweight opposition. This is if it can even make weight.

He will be suitable for a fight against one of the candidates, who will probably lose badly, and then finished. Berlanga is the guy who has to match the weak opposition, the way the top class made and how Hearn took him out.

Warrior or weak?

“People don’t know, but I had the flu. I was struggling with my health and I knew at some point, I couldn’t do it, “Edgar Berlanga said TowerExplaining why he lost the weight today, he comes in 1.6 lbs above the 168 LB threshold for his main support against Jonathan Gonzalez-Torziz this night on Saturday in Orlando.

Having the flu does not explain why Berlanga looks like a cruiserweight from his loss in Canelo last September. He was always great, but he seems to be complementing after this defeat.

“Everyone who is out there know that I take this sport very serious, especially with my health. There is nothing to say. We still get the race. I want to tell my fans that the other is not what it is.

“I’ll go out there and make the show happen. I had many fans coming out here, buying tickets and airline tickets, flights from Puerto Rico. We will put tomorrow. Tune in tomorrow. You will see what’s going on.

“It has something to prove. Look at what happened to Munguia, “Berlanga said of his little known 35-year-old opponent, Jonathan Gonzalez-Torz, who today looked at a sad physical state of weighing, fighting on a dad’s body.” This cannot be on March 15, “Berlanga said.
