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.

[Babadoux]

He doesn't know who he is in the ring. Everyone thought he was a bulldozer in his first 16 fights, but now that fighters are taking him the distance he doesn't know what to do. He has shown he can punch but he hasn't shown the ability to effectively put pressure or box. Every single time he's unable to ko his opponents early he fails to impress.

Combination of his power not being anywhere near as legit as originally advertised and his confidence is completely gone.

i want this guy to become entertaining agsin or i want to see him get brutally knocked out, he doesn't come across as likeable at all but if he is destroying guys it isn't a problem, he was boring last night though, and lost 4 or 5 rounds

[tritium_arma]

He should demand only 1 round fights from now on so he can go all out.

He also tore his bicep and had surgery. That may also cause him so issues. I agree that he is not as advertised.

After his KO streak ended theyre trying to turn him into a boxer. He's a puncher/****er just let him do what he does best even if its one dimensional that gives him the best option to win because hes not a boxer

[IAmABoxingGuru]

Bicep surgery and getting knocked down a couple of fights ago. Mentally, he is ****ed from here on out.

[hectari]

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

World level guy beats him easily.

Whats crazy is Angulo isnt even good and he is almost 40 and past his prime, that guy was open to get hit and slow, Berlanga looked so tentative in there it was weird, put Angulo in with someone like David Benavidaz its a wrap dude would have been out of there.

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.

Xander is going to be the pay per view star if he keeps winning, the kid is respectful, classy, talented, well spoken, you name it he fits the bill. crazy how Top Rank invested soo much into Berlanga though, that dude is garbage he is just a sideshow and PR hood types and NY Boriqua just like him cause he hood, but Xander has the makings of a ppv star.

Same strategy with Munguia I feel. They just took a shot in the dark and backed him in the hopes that he will make a future Canelo ppv opponent.

Berlanga is trying to reinvent his style. Coming to terms with being a hype job must be hard on him mentally.
