Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga: I Already Know I'm A Star, I'm Ready For Big-Time Fights

Berlanga has no jab, footwork, ring generalship and doesn’t move his head. He is a class B club fighter. Brillo pad.

Prove it Berlenga. If Top Rank thought the same they would have persuaded you to stay by offering you more money. Instead they let you go on your merry way. Time to prove your worth.

berlanga is a nasty KO waiting to happen.

Pride comes before the fall

The Bobfather letting you go on your way is all I needed to see
He didn’t make his fortune by letting good boxers run along
Needs many changesto get to be an actual real star
Good luck Berlanga , not going to be easy

Morrell is a dangerous fight for Berlanga, and anyone else in the 168 pound division. If Morrell is able beat his next 8 opponent's, like he did his first 8 opponent's Berlanga doesn't stand a chance against him.

Morell doesn't need to beat his next 8 opponents to face berlanga now. He has fought three undefeated fighters and hasn't face a boxer with losing record since his first fight. In his own division, he's on the top three and moving up. He's on a collision course with the winner of plant vs benavidez. What I don't like is his trainer, not because he's bad, but because he's too conservative.

Berlanga is the perfect example of the saying "A legend in his own mind". He has some severe narcissism.

Morel would chew him up and spit him out.

Not sure Bob Arum was involved in the decision to let Berlanga go. He mostly shows up for fight week for photo ops and interviews nowadays. Brad Goodman and Todd DuBoef are taking care of the company's daily operations and are in charge of fighters development. But they've been working with Bob for years and it's a bad sign when they let a fighter go.
Although they probably jumped the gun when they let Adames go recently, and to a lesser extent Elvis Rodriguez, after just one loss.

Bumlanga is the next big thing.

Damn right.

Im a huge Matias fan I love his no nonsense all business personality. In the ring he's one of the most devastating fighters in the sport today. He will wreck Ponce and show the rest of the division he's arrived.

Matias is all business about furthering his career. He just became a Mexican citizen and with all the and top trainers sparring he can get there I have no doubt he'll prove to everyone thats he's one of if not the best 140lber in the world soon.

That's crazy he's training in Mexico, and just became a Mexican citizen, ay chihuahua! If it help's his boxing career out I'm all for it, but he has to stay away from the tequila. They can borrow "El Orgullo de Marternillo", but they've got to give him back to us who are extremely proud of him.
