Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga Parts Ways With Top Rank, Becomes Promotional Free Agent

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

He's 20 years old, we shouldn't be completely sold on him tbh. He's showing some progress though, unlike Berlanga who has completely stagnated for some reason.

Berlanga vs Jacobs on deck Matchroom extravaganza

I know you're joking, but that's actually not a bad match-up. Put it as the main-event in the MSG Hulu theatre and it could probably do well. It's a very good crossroads match-up.

Knowing Top Rank’s M.O., they wanted to lower his minimum and match him up against vulnerable Light Middleweights and Middleweights at Super Middleweight hoping that experience would help him develop, rebuild hype, and bide time until there’s a big money fight available.

I could also see them pushing to move him to 160 (where he would face Welterweights and Light Middleweights). At least, there you can maneuver him to a title shot without having to worry about him getting upset by a random opponent.

Berlanga probably found a better deal out there, so good for him.

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

I said they would be FUN fights to watch not fights he's going to win

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?

That a pretty surprising move because Top Rank stays finessing the Puerto Rican community with pretend stars.

No disrespect to PR, but when the fanbase is there but the stars are not, promoters will look to take advantage of them. Look at the ****ing clowns Oscar was hyping as generational talent to the Mexican American community before Canelo really blew up.

There's good fights for Berlanga at both PBC and Matchroom.

I was only joking about the extravaganza part.. that’s exactly what that snake Hearn & Connoly are concocting behind the scenes.

Berlanga is like that ****** that was supposed to go to the moon!!!

The ones in the know realized way back that Berlanga aint sht. No I didnt expect him to moon at all lol.

I agree, so a quick Boxrec lookup of Puerto Rican Supermiddles finds this guy, Luis J Rodriguez Fernandez

He's 10-0 with 10 KO's.

Pair these guy up on the island and make some money with the locals. the winner gets the push.

Yeah he’s not what the hype was, but he young and hopefully he works hard and is honest with himself. He could be something. Or not.
