Berlanga vs Jacobs on deck Matchroom extravaganza

[_original_]

Xander zayas was always the really talented one anyway. This dude was just hype.

Meh, he looks decent but not completely sold on that kid.

Bob going to live another 100 years now, after releasing this joker!

Bob saw something he didn't like in his development. No way you cut a Puerto Rican hot prospect with a big NYC following.

He wasn't able to make adjustments, and level up his game as he stepped up in competition. If you're still making the same major mistakes (loading up on punches, inability to cut off ring, sloppy defense, inability to make adjustments in fight) in fight after fight, you won't be able to fight at the top level until you get over yourself and actually learn. Sure, he's winning now against this level of opponent, but he's got to show he can make the changes.

Berlanga is decent but it doesn't look like he's improving from one fight to the next. That could be due to many factors, but good luck to him

He got exposed, now Top Rank is cutting their losses.

It's all downhill from here for Berlanga.

He won't be protected from here on out now.

Say man, I keep seeing you in threads and I will read your posts and then promptly forget whatever you typed once I get to the bottom. Who in the world is that beautiful woman?

GBP or PBC.
Others won't pay him to continue fighting bums.

PBC is his only serious option. GBP and MR has absolutely zero fighters to match him with for a successful event. Although he's getting a little exposed the more he steps up in class, fights like Berlanga vs Charlo / Andrade / Benevidez / Plant / Morrell are still very fun fights to look forward to. PBC signed Andrade and immediately threw himon a PPV to try and boost his profile. I could see them signing Berlanga and throwing him on the Tank v Ryan undercard against the likes of Andre / Anthony Dirrell.

Every one of those guys will kill him including the dirrells.

They know he is not worth to keep investing in. TR does let go fighters that they feel that won't live to their potential.

Came on here to say the same exact thing. I've seen announcements of Top Rank dropping fighters (some undefeated) and wondering why. Usually those fighters end up losing and slipping into anonymity soon after.

Not too long ago, Top Rank released Elvis Rodriguez after he lost to Kenneth Sims Jr.

Handwriting is on the wall for Berlanga. His power seems less impressive as the competition increased and he doesn't come off as the most humble fighter that is looking to improve.
