    Disagree...Liam Williams has gone the distance with world champions like Andrade & Liam Smith (plus Eubank) but Sheeraz got him out of there in round 1. Therefore, it was an impressive victory all things considered. As for Williams, he was hyped as the 'next big thing' in the division (like Sheeraz) until Hamzah destroyed him. It's only NOW that people are calling him an average fighter lol.
    Never had any doubt in my mind that he wasn’t an average fighter
    Safe loss against Boo Boo and Smith
    Eubank struggled against Benn , which I consider domestic British level
    Sorry

      Before the Adames fight, Sheeraz was looking SENSATIONAL having stopped both Liam Williams & the Ukrainian Olympian in the 1st round and Ammo Williams in the 11th. Those were all impressive victories. However, he was soundly beaten by Adames which is why I think he's made the WRONG decision moving up in weight and fighting one of the best in the division without taking a tune-up first. Changing trainer doesn't help matters either!
      He did stop Liam Williams but he was completely shot. Eubank was knocking him down with a jab and clearly didn't want to hurt him seriously. It certainly wasn't the Liam Williams that fought Smith

          Adams may not be great but he's Alot better than Berlanga

            I'd go with Berlanga’s experience
            Berlanga has never beaten a good opponent... Sheeraz destroyed Ammo Williams. I'll go with him

              He is going to lose and was very over rated.

              Pakistani / Indian fighters do not do well above 154. Look at history.

                Lol I'm not saying he's anything special but the fact that Sheeraz blasted him out in ONE round (after dropping/wobbling him multiple times) is impressive.

                  Agreed but he still went the distance with Eubank whereas Sheeraz demolished him in just a round.

                    That would've been a GREAT tune-up fight as they still have unfinished business although Skeete retired several years ago.

                      Agreed but Berlanga's a LOT better than people give him credit for. Who are you picking for the fight?
