Hearn couldn’t get Andrade any significant fight, what makes you think it’ll be different with Berlanga?
      Yep and how many of them have fought each other and how often are they fighting? and I didn't mention Hearn, I said a "different outfit" peoples obsession with Hearn or PBC respectively is sickening TBH...

      I don't think Hearn will be any better than PBC and vice versa, he'll be shelved by PBC or fighting puddings on DAZN...

        Good reference. Appears he's this generations PR James Kirkland lol.

        Both he and Bob/TR,just like all of us here,know he gets sparked as soon as he steps up and TR weren't willing to foot the bill when it happened.

          Respect that he wants that smoke , but he has looked horrible since the KO streak was ended , as soon as he really steps up he is getting stopped ..........

            He'll get that payday because of his mouth now but only once. So which one of those do you take a brutal beating from is the question.
            I doubt he could get past Shishkin.
            I really want to see him fight Bektemir the Bully.
            Bek/Berlanga is a really good match-up, and it's almost a guaranteed KO outcome.

              James Kirkland is a good comparison.

              Seriously though. What this kid needs to do is learn how to box better. That power can only take him so far. What good is having power if you don’t have the ability to deliver it properly?

              Top Rank did a good job of marketing that KO streak he had. My old man and his old neighbor ate that sh#t up. All three of us watched one of his ESPN bouts, and it takes a lot for those two to actually care about boxing. That should tell you something right there.

                Top Rank is pretty savvy about how they bring fighters along and they typically cut bait when they don't think an investment will pan out.

                Berlanga definitely needs to work on his game to be a better fighter. That KO streak may have been the worst thing for him because there really wasn't incentive to continue developing when you think you can spark everyone one.

                  So if not Hearn or PBC, who else is there that’s not “sickening”?

                    he’s already been stopped in the amateurs and sparring multiple times. Dropped as a pro to.
                    He also got DESTROYED by Erikson Lubin av154 pounder in sparring. That’s when I knew he was garbage.

                      It’s hilarious how dudes that have never probably boxed in their life can critize a professional fighter who has been fighting most of his life ! .. if u don’t like the match or fighter don’t tune in that’s that.. foos be acting like females and always gonna hate! Regular folks with 9-5 jobs !
