Edgar Berlanga: record, next fight and profile →
Promoter Eddie Hearn is hopeful that Edgar Berlanga has done enough to bag a fight with Canelo Alvarez after stopping Padraig McCrory at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.
Edgar Berlanga wasted little time calling for the big fights after his sixth-round stoppage of Irishman Padraig McCrory in Orlando.
For the first time in five fights and more than three years, Edgar Berlanga scored a knockout. Whether his sixth-round stoppage of Padraig McCrory is sufficient to put him ahead of David Benavidez, Jaime Munguia or Jermall Charlo in the Canelo Alvarez sweepstakes is a different matter, but to hear both Berlanga and his promoter Eddie Hearn talk afterward, it would not be a surprise if the Puerto Rican were to get the call.
Edgar Berlanga is relishing the next step in Matchroom’s attempts to build his profile. He fights for the second time since signing for the promoter upon his departure from Top Rank, against Padraig McCrory at the Caribe Orlando in Orlando, Florida on Saturday night.
