Teo: unstable?

He does not fight with a great game plan, such as Barboza Jr. And sometimes it falls mentally in case of adversity. We saw it in Lopez’s fights with George Cambosos Jr., Sandor Martin and Jamaine Ortiz. Was like Complete basket in these matches.

When everything goes to Teofimo, it is perfect, but it simply develops when his opponents begin to succeed. If you’ve ever seen someone who is coming, it looks like that. They consist and begin to do strange things. We saw a lot from Lopez in his fights, in which things do not go on his way.

Teofimo (21-1, 13 KO) will have its title WBO LIGHT WELTER HEALL AGAINST BARBOZE JR. (32-0, 11 KO) on the card, as well as a potential fight with the IBF 147-LB champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis in October. Losing with Barboza Jr. It may cause Teofimo not fighting shoes, but it can act in favor of Hitchins. It will probably be the option of plan B for Turk Alalshikh for apply if Lopez lies with Barboza Jr.

Six months ago, Berlanga was the star of the united title of the world of a super-medium weight that took place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Unfortunately, he lost a flawless record for Berlang. Now he is ready to bounce, presenting his talent on Saturday evening.

27-year-old Brooklyn, Recent York, Edgar Berlanga, began his career in an impressive way when he published 16 subsequent wins in the first round. During the next five fights, Berlanga looked on average when he raised five wins because of his decision.

Berlanga would make a drastic career movement by signing a contract with many fights with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing. A year later, on the night of February 24, 2024, in his second fight against Matchroom, Berlanga ended his four -year drought when he faced the unbeaten Irish boxer Padraig McCrora.

There are 25 seconds left in the sixth round, Berlanga landed with a looping right right, which McCrory sent to canvas. McCrory tried to get up, but before he could fight, his corner decided to throw a towel.

After winning in the detention of Berlang, he landed in his dream fight when he was to face the United World Champion WBA, WBC Super-Middle in the weight of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Canelo dropped Berlanga in 3rd place, but Berlanga was able to recover and survive the rest of the round.

Berlanga maintained a competitive fight, but at the end of the 12-round competition, defender Canelo Alvarez won a unanimous decision. Now Edgar Berlanga (22-1, 17 KO) is ready to return to the mandatory competition of the pretender because he intends to accept a difficult opponent.

Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz, from San Juan, Puerto Rico, is a warrior in the style of pressure who has a good placement in the impact and is accustomed to overwhelming his opponents with his speed of work. 35-year-old Gonzalez-Ortiz had two fights in 2024, but earlier, when he last competed in the ring in 2014.

The ten-year dismissal of Gonzalez-Ortiz and the low level of competition he met are two main reasons why some are skeptical in relation to the competitiveness of this fight. However, Edgar Berlanga underestimates his opponent because he believes that on Saturday evening he will be involved in the fire brigade.

“I don’t overlook this man, he comes to win,” said Berlanga. “He is Puerto Rican and has this Puerto Rican blood. I know he comes to fight. I know he won’t run around the ring, trying to survive. He will go there and try to prove the point. “

Austin “Ammunition” by Williams vs Patrice Volny is a headliner, but co-main is a very intriguing duel. Fighting with Massive Money from Canelo, Berlanga weighed his upcoming 1.6 pounds in relation to the average weight limit of 168.

Considering this, the lack of concentration and discipline of Berlang will open the door of the possibility of nervousness of Gonzalez-Ortiz, or Berlang will show that he is at a different level and will win a routine victory?

Jalil asked for this fight, even though they were offered other fights. “I didn’t have to take this fight, Matchroom didn’t offer the first fight, they first offered other fights. My team did not want this fight. I said that I want this fight because he was a guy I just lost to. This is something that I was more than restless, more than ready.
