Where did Berlangas power go? He cant even bust a g**** anymore is it because he fights scared now? So he dont commit to his shots.

[hectari]

This dude is horrible, no boxing skill, and his power is gone. He constantly second guesses himself in there too, he fights nervous like afraid to lose.

[-Kev-]

His career has turned really weird. He went from looking like Brooklyn’s next Mike Tyson, to apologizing after every sentence his coach told him.

Idk if he’s “scared”. When you fight for a living, the last thing you feel about boxing is fear.

But everything in his body language points to some sort of fear. I think he is definitely avoiding a KO loss in some way that gives off that he is scared. If you see his early fights, you can see him getting tremendously hurt/wobbled badly. In a way that you know when he gets caught again by a puncher, he will be trouble. I think that’s what he’s avoiding.

If boxing was your only path make millions of dollars, but your chinny and you know it, wouldn’t you try to avoid getting KO’ed?

And I agree. His reluctance to get hit has led to him not committing to his punches.

And with that new coach of his told him to box and not fight. I guess he knew something the viewers and announcers didn’t know, because that fight certainly did not look 9 rounds to 1 in his favor. It could have easily been a draw or a win for Angulo on neutral territory with fair judging. But the coach must’ve known something because he basically told Berlanga to not fight just keep moving in boxing. In a close fight, you want to win the 8th-10th rounds clearly, with urgency. There was no urgency in his corner.

He stopped fighting people outside of the top 100

This is pretty much it. When Nicholson kept getting up, I think it shook his confidence. Prior to that fight, he expected and believed he could spark everyone out. Then Coceres took his power and hurt him back.

I think what you see now is a guy who realizes he's not as powerful and not as good as what ESPN and Top Rank led everyone to believe for his first 16 fights.

i mean he is scared to lose, he is fixated on being unbeaten it seems. Lot of times guys with no losses start becoming cautious and don let their hands go.

Yup and this is why he is trying to box and avoid trading power, he knows he sucks and is trying to avoid taking an L because if he loses he wont be able to make money, he is a hype job. Xander Zayas is the real deal puerto rican future star.

[JakeTheBoxer]

He is overrated bum beater and he sucks fighting real guys that actually train this sport.

World level guy beats him easily.

[Shadoww702]

He's good for 1 round and that's it!

[YoungManRumble]

Because Bumlanga isn't fighting total cans anymore. The guy is trash.

Definitely. Xander passes the eye test. You can also tell by the matchmaking what Top Rank thinks of him. He's been put in tough early. When your promotion puts in against guys like Jose Luis Sanchez in your 8th or 9th fight and then Quincy LaVallais in your 13th, they have confidence that you will take care of business even if you meet adversity.
