Mike Coppinger: Edgar Berlanga rejects David Benavidez bout

[BigDramaShow!]

Jose Benavidez Sr. remarks Edgar Berlanga declined bout w/ David Benavidez, Keith Connolly says “Benavidez’s father asked me if Berlanga would fight him. I said ‘have Al (Haymon) make an offer to Top Rank or myself. Never heard from him again. Now he’s fighting Ronald Ellis.”

Of course he did. Why step up when so many call you the next great anyway?

[Eff Pandas]

Obviously these guys are just early hyping a potential rivalry. There is a near 0% chance TR would let the fight happen...and when it can happen TR will likely still be a thorn in the side of a deal being made assuming Bob is still alive by that time.

lol what did you expect from a bum killer? ofc he was scared to fight the real threat.

[bballchump11]

He's too green for David anyways.

[sicko]

No shame in that, Berlanga is a young fighter still working his way up

Yeah David is still young himself but more experienced and a 2x World Champ

[Brother Mouzone]

Berlanga is too wet behind the ears to get in there with a monster like Benavidez at this stage.

[ShoulderRoll]

Berlanga wouldn't get a 1st round KO against Benavidez, that's for damn sure.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Benavidez should be embarrassed trying to make that fight. Shameful

I mean Berlanga is still green. He needs to really earn a shot at a world champion before jumping in with the sharks.
