Edgar Berlanga’s supervisor, Keith Connolly, says they’re taking the undercard slot for the March fifteenth occasion as a result of it should result in a chance for a “larger struggle” this summer season.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 KOs) is combating Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz within the 10-round co-feature on the Austin Williams vs. Patrice Volny card on the Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida. The occasion shall be proven reside on DAZN.
Potential Foes
The 35-year-old Gonzalez-Ortiz (20-0-1, 16 KOs) is Berlanga’s last struggle of his contract with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom. If they provide Berlanga an extension, that might probably contain an even bigger struggle involving one from his six-fighter hit record:
– Jamie Munguia– Jermall Charlo– Caleb Plant– Hamzah Sheeraz– Canelo Alvarez– Diego Pacheco
Most of these names wouldn’t be seen as a giant struggle by followers. If the aim is for Berlanga to struggle certainly one of them and get a pleasant payday, that’s definitely doable. Munguia could be the best choice for Berlanga to struggle if his focus is on cash solely. Berlanga-Munguia may be sufficiently big to be positioned on DAZN PPV. Munguia is predicted to struggle a rematch with Bruno Surace subsequent. He must come by that struggle for him to be a viable choice for Edgar to struggle on PPV.
It’s comprehensible why he’d desire a rematch with the Mexican star Canelo Alvarez, however to have an opportunity of that occuring, it could require that Berlanga beat gifted fighters like David Benavidez, Dmitry Bivol, David Morrell, and Artur Beterbiev. Sadly, Edgar may by no means beat any of these guys as a result of he lacks the expertise.
The names on Berlanga’s hit record aren’t ok to entice Canelo to bless him with one other payday. Berlanga must earn it this time, and he doesn’t seem able to doing that. If he had been for actual, he’d beat these guys. Berlanga’s finest profession win is towards a 36-year-old Irish fighter named Padraig McCrory.
The lifelike choices for Berlanga could be the fellows that Hearn can negotiate with, like Pacheco, Sheeraz, and Plant.
Per @EdgarBerlangaJr supervisor Keith Connolly on the subsequent struggle: “With out stepping into an excessive amount of element, Edgar may have achieved a principal occasion in March. As a substitute we did a smaller co-main deal as a result of this deal goes to create a chance to do a a lot larger struggle this summer season.”
