Comments Thread For: Berlanga on Matchroom Deal: My Main Goal is To Land The Canelo Fight

Better fight some top guys before Canelo or it won't be pretty.

A solid early retirement plan.

not having any vested interest i have still noticed that it's the Puerto Rican boxers always ****ing on about this great rivalry with Mexicans, whereas Mexicans not so much

lol, what the hell. This guy has barely beat tomato cans and he wants to go straight to Canelo?? First off, how in the hell does he deserve that fight? Who does he think he is? He's literally done nothing in boxing. First, I don't think he'll win and actually get KTFO, but why does he get to get KTFO for millions when others are well more established to get that mega paycheck first before him? That annoys the "f" out of me. Dude trying to get the easy ticket to millions and has put in no work. Gtfo. If I were Matchroom, put him in with a dangerous opponent to prove his worth at least once and hope he gets ktfo killing the Canelo ticket.

well he gets to fight Ryder before Canelo after Ryder has been splattered

He has no profile as a top level fighter Even Clenelo and Weasel Eddie couldn't sell that fight. Mexico vs. Puerto Rico applies to elite fighters fighting each other. Berlanga will never be elite.

There's a long line to get to Canelo. Being in the same weight class with the same promoter didn't work for Andrade.

A mid level opponent that hasn’t beaten anyone credible and poses little risk to Canelo? Sounds like he has a very good chance at landing the fight.

That thought crossed my mind too.

Understand the incredulity, but why would you want to burn a potential money prospect by matching him with a no-name contender before he can make money for the company? You know the sport, but romotion may not be your lane.

Because Andrade had zero fan base.

Eddy will set Berlanga up with a soft touch first, or a few, to off set his investment. The curse is, one of the no hopers will bump him off in a shocking upset. Another one.
