Comments Thread For: Gabriel Rosado scores first round KO, then calls out Edgar Berlanga

[TheProudLunatic]

Berlanga has never accomplished anything in his entire career. He'll never be one tenth of what Zab Judah was. Disrespectful to even mention them in the same sentence.

Zab was the undisputed welterweight champion of the world and a 3X super lightweight world titlist.

Zab fought everyone; beat Junior Witter, Terron Millett, DeMarcus Corley, Cory Spinks, Micky Ward, Lucas Matthysse, etc. Lost to Tszyu, Spinks, Baldomir, Floyd, Cotto, Clottey, Khan, Danny G, and Paulie.

Berlanga has fought two quality opponents in his whole career and lost them both by a country mile.

Yeah Bro SYBAU...I didn't need a history lesson on Zab's career. Nobody is comparing resumes. It shouldn't need to be said but I will because it seems you need it. WE ARE COMPARING EMBARASSING MOMENTS IN FRONT OF NYC.

Maybe I’ve been missing it, but I think Gabe is a fan favorite. I mean, let’s keep it real, he’s a journeyman at this point, but that doesn’t mean people don’t like him. Personally, I’d like to see him hang ‘em up. He’s 39 and not going anywhere — he never really was. But a Berlanga payday? I say, why not?

Is Rosado the Rican Chisora?

[HisExcellency]

This would actually be a solid comeback fight for Berlanga after getting KTFO.

[ELPacman]

I like Gabe. So many losses and not one fuck given.

His KO of Bek the Bully will always be one of my favorite fight closers.

Thanks for that. I had to rewatch that fight to remember how awesome it was when it happened.

Yeah I think we like them and always tune in when they fight for the same reasons. Yeah as fans it's a little selfish because in the end it's nice to see guys retire with their health. But as fans (and as fans who are getting older ourselves lol) we are selfish and it's exciting and inspirational to watch guys give their all and never give up. And in those respects they both probably have "more" than a lot champions out there.

I saw Berlanga up close and personal when he got knocked out. I was very close to the ring and let me tell you, Hamza Sheeraz has tremendous velocity and leverage on all his punches. Berlanga didn't fully realize who he was up against until he woke up in the dressing room. When you don't respect your opponent, and you underestimate them, and your ego is as out of control as Berlanga's is, and everyone around you helps to enable you to be delusional by acting as yes men and cheerleaders, always telling you how amazing you are, and no one around to check you and keep you grounded by telling you your sh..t stinks, you're destined to be in for a very rude awakening. Let Berlanga be a lesson for future generations of fighters, so he didn't get his ass whipped in vain. Stay humble, stay disciplined and never start thinking you're bigger than the sport, because you're not

Funnily enough Claressa Shields said EXACTLY the same thing...that Sheeraz knew how to generate leverage on his punches and Berlanga was in danger from round 1. The fight was pretty competitive in the early rounds but Sheeraz was getting the better of the exchanges when they started to trade and Berlanga left his head exposed leading to a flurry of punches which led to the first knockdown. He never fully recovered from that and the rest is history. However, I think he made a big mistake by trading and NOT holding after the first knockdown which led to an even harder second knockdown.

Hopefully he manages to keep his gloves up at all times in future and hold if in danger. He also needs to reign that massive ego of his in too.

Berlanga’s early career, with all those first round KOs, got him the Canelo fight, but set him up for future failure. His psyche may never recover from the tanning he took from the proper Englishman.Now Edgar realizes for a fact he’s vulnerable.

Sheeraz was really loading up with those long arms. He was generating lots of torque. Few could’ve withstood those kind of full force blows. A fighter with better D might’ve made him pay.
