Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Ready or not, Edgar Berlanga had to take Canelo Alvarez fight

[Oldskoolg]

Obviously I think Canelo has become a coward in his career and chooses easy fights, that’s what his entire run on dazn was, a Hearn supplied bum a month club. However, because i think Canelo and the money wasted on his fights, is holding the sport back in the long run, I do hope (even if on a whim) that berlanga pulls off the upset do to a natural size advantage

Canelo been ducking Berlanga for years. Bout time he grew a pair and made the fight…

They need to stop with “Puerto Rico’s Berlanga” nonsense. The guy hasn’t lived a day of his life there. Stop pushing this fake narrative to try and get the suckers into buying that this is a Mexico vs Pr fight since they know canelo struggles to sell and want to justify him getting overpaid. They thought canelo be charlo would appeal due to to the Mexican vs Black American angle and it didn’t. They thought the all Mexican route word work with munguia but it didn’t. Now they’re trying to go the Mexico vs pr angle and it’s a farce.

Last week Eddie Hearn was screaming Inoue/TJ Dorheny was a disgrace but that was LAST week....

THIS week Eddie is loving the Canelo/Berlanga fight, If that's what you want to call it.

Lmao berlanga isn’t from Puerto Rico this isn’t Mexico vs Puerto Rico Hearn is such a clown

[richardwince]

Even if berlanga isnt ready for a fight of this magnitude he still has to take it just for the money alone ,i dont think hes ready and will probably loose by knockout

And yet, somehow, he’s the most quintessentially Puerto Rican guy anyone’s ever seen.

In this whole charade by Canelo, I don't blame Berlanga at all for taking this fight. Anything can happen in boxing but we're fooling ourselves if you think he actually has a shot. But as an up and comer, when a fight like this is offered, you jump all over it, in contrast, most fighters nowadays when a fight like this is offered, they demand, demand and demand some more and then they back out. Guys like Crawford, Haney, Stevenson, ect ect, constantly price themselves out in order to get out of taking a risk, and then say they're being avoided. And their fans eat it up.... So Berlanga at least is giving it a shot, if he loses, no big deal, you took on the Champ of the division, things didn't work out, you learn and move on, that's how it used to be before all these divas hit the stage.

You compare guys with titles to a guy who isn't likely to get one. Smaller guys too.

No lies detected. Though I will say that the Mexico vs black America angle didn’t work because Charlo played he suckup role and didn’t at all try to engage in a war of words and it showed in the track meet er I mean fight

Ready or not? Edgar better get damn good, and ready for what's coming in this fight.
He better put all that big trash talk into fighting action, because as we all know actions speak louder than words, always have, and always will.
