Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga: Ref Made Good Call, I Would've Sent Bellows To Hospital

[Ricardi]

I really think Berlanga will show he can box pretty damn good and the power is no doubt real . He will at the very least win a belt

[Rick Taylor]

Bro why you such a hater. Every thread your on your calling Every fighter a bum or hype job lmfaoo

why should i hype up frauds??

berlanga is slow as hell. and he got a gift stoppage last night to keep his streak.

[Boxingkeen]

They’re doing a good job with this kid, he has time to develop. Don’t rush him

[CPLVS]

That's how i'm coming

I really appreciate Berlanga. Especially at 168.

It isnt steep, but the guys at the top are there deservedly and probably without question or concern, other than amongst each other.
Benavidez, Callum Smith, and Plant are exceptionally talented, and are the only names immediately worth mentioning.
Though theyve being chatting for a while now, having gone this long uncontested for the most part/without being on opposite ends from each other leaves the division undefined, their placemarks in it questionable, and the appeal is spoiling.

Berlanga is a different.

Plant can box, but seems more showman than anything - and lacking the pop.
Benavidez, is arguably the most skillful and creative in showing it, but isnt ever not fleshy/out of shape.
Callum is probaly the most well rounded, and maybe worn.
Their resumes are comparable.
I dont know if Berlanga has any of the physical vulnerabilities of the other three, but i know he hasnt shown to yet, while displaying himself as having the capability to capitalize on another's.

I think Edgar Berlanga finds himself on top, and im invested. I anticipate a lot of Berlanga and Ali Akhmedov talk, their respective success, and maybe their pairing. VERY SPOOKY

Im not sure whether Canelo, Jacobs, and BJS fit in the conversation, nor the infinite names within the surrounding 60/75.

That guy didn’t want to be there. Fight wouldn’t have lasted much longer. But I have to say, it appeared to me the ref was ready to stop that fight at the earliest possible opportunity. Looked like he was “with the program.”

What I saw last night from Berlanga didn’t impress me. Sure, he has power, but I saw a lot of swooping haymakers. Not to mention, his opposition wasn’t exactly high quality. I’m not knocking the kid, he might turn out to be something, but all this first round KO business doesn’t mean much when you go in versus real fighters.

It’s all about the competition you face. I’m still impressed by his power, the power is real. The problem is what’s gonna happen when he faces someone who can take it? Is he gonna gas when he has to go to the later rounds? Can he actually box?

It’s almost like how Wilder was for awhile. Wilder relied on his power way too much.

[SN!PER]

Just keep betting on 1st round stoppage. Easy money.

[E-Thug]

Sick of Bumlanga already, when is this guy gonna step up or is he going to go the Bum Squad route and knock out 40 tomato cans?

they should have let it play out.

it only hurts beralaanga in the long run.

If he keeps facing subpar opponents, no reason to think anything different.

I could use a quick buck.
