Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga: You have to have no remorse, no respect

[Left Hook Louie]

Lampley actually said that George kept the rioters away by swinging at them and threatening to bash some skulls.

Lampley's on air attitude towards George completely changed after that incident. I could only imagine how scared Lampley and Merchant must have felt.

Ha, I didn't know any of this.
Merchant and Lampley are both little short guys, although Lampley looks bigger because he has a big head.
Good on George! Who wouldn't want GF there swinging away while protecting you in a free-for-all? LOL

Berlanga made Canelo angry when he said he has more intelligence and IQ than the Mexican superstar.
So don't act like you're not the one who started it. And now you're angrier because he responded.
You reap what you sow.

Honestly the numbers were looking thin as everyone was talking about how silly of a fight this is and its obvious Berlanga has next to no chance and how obviously Canelo is ducking Benavidez.

You could see the fact that Canelo and Berlanga had a discussion and Berlanga was told to start insulting Canelo in order to sell the fight.

Prior to that Berlanga was saying for months that Benavidez hadn't shown respect and that is why Canelo wasn't fighting him....he was gushing over Canelo and saying Canelo had promised him he was next, that Canelo was the best, etc.

Berlanga is doing as he is told. People are buying into it and it has worked to some degree. I am interested to see if Canelo really tries to KO him. I think there is likely already an understanding between them that if Berlanga really tries to hurt Saul, Saul will go for it.

I kind of expect a Saul UD, or Berlanga quits after taking a few big shots to save face. Berlanga is making life changing money, he isn't there to get really hurt. And Saul is there for just money, obviously.

Boxing is dying for a reason.

Edgar watches too many gangster movies.

Edgar could be convincingly cast as a low-level henchman working for a guy like Tony Montana.
He's got the look and the demeanor of a pugnacious and earnest but not-too-bright enforcer.

I'm not even sure I want to stream this. Certainly not interested in paying 80 for it. I remember when they used to talk about Berlanga being all skilled in the gym, and then the fight would happen, and he'd show close to no skills at all. Just loads up on every punch, sucks at cutting the ring, and gets dropped by guys who aren't even known as punchers. If there were ever an opponent for Canelo to break his lack of KO streak on, Berlanga seems like the one.

Well, it looked real at that press conference but I wouldn't be surprised of this whole thing is scripted, either.
It is, after all, entertainment and show business.

In the end, though, the ring is still a truth machine.
Those who want to be in it for the glory show us by the way they fight, and those who are there for the payday, again, show us by the way they fight.

Who you trying to convince " Saul " or Edgar ( ? )

[Elastic Recoilz]

Canelo should be knocking this guy out but he won't - Canelo by useless and boring unanimous decision, unless the referee makes a shoddy early stoppage...

Hey writer ,I call bs on YOU. It was never proven that Margarito had loaded gloves in the 1st Cotto fight. Don’t write it as if it’s a proven fact . It’s an opinion . Period.

payday, payday!
