Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga Wants Gabe Rosado Now, David Benavidez (Much) Later

[STREET CLEANER]

If Rosado's face holds up it can be a long night for Berlanga.

I guess we're just gonna have to see, huh?

I haven't heard anything about loaded gloves but I guess you can never be too careful nowadays.

Puerto rican boxers have a history of loading their gloves.

The thing about Rosado though is that he just knows how to lose. Somehow, some way he'll probably find a way to lose this one - presumably by KO.

Did you watch the Jacobs fight? He's really improved. Only concern is, he has no power whatsoever at 168. His best weight is 160

This is what happens when you open your mouth, acting miy chingon! And when your challange is responded you get scare! Benavidez will kill this loud mouth kid!

I like the Rosado fight for Berlanga. The only thing is I dont think Rosado wants to be considered a step up or gatekeeper. I think him going the route of prospect destroyer works too but I think in his mind he's a title contender. For some reason I'd like to see him in with Zach Parker who's rabked pretty high in a coupke of rankings. Hadnt thought of Steve Nelson but man that would be a ****in fight. David Lemieux would be a good fight too. I think Danny Jacobs would be a good one as well.

Berlanga is all talk. he will never fight Benavidez. EVER.

Victor Ortiz, josesito, trout @ 154 or 160 would be the best name for a resume. Some Brit, maybe Liam smith or fielding would n good tests..

I think Bob has Steven Nelson. He's ranked #8 by the WBO (Berlanga #9). Not sure why they don't want to make that fight? Nelson is 17-0 w/ 14 KOs! Who promotes Vladimir Shishkin?

Not seen much of Nelson tbh, think I’ve seen him once or twice on undercards but can’t remember too much about him.

I think Shishkin is with Dmitry Salita so he’d definitely be available if the money was right.

I agree. Kid seems to have some sense. Rosado is a good step up. He passes that test then take another step up. He needs at least 3-4 more fights that are progressively tougher before he thinks about challenging the top dogs.

Rosado, Angulo, one of the Dirrell's and then maybe a David Lemieux or Danny Jacobs level guy.

Yeah I think Rosado would give the kid exactly what he needs. Berlanga clearly has talent but he’s gonna need to get some rounds under his belt to prepare him for the top level.

Watch this clip Edgar got dropped once hard and got a standing count on the ropes.

I'm not hating on the kid he's good for boxing has good power but he is vulnerable to that right hand when he trades. He hasn't fought anyone yet that can punch back just as hard that's what I'm waiting to see I think Uzcategui is even too big of a step I think the best test at the moment would be someone like Denis Douglin or Porky Medina.
