Edwards says that Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) will not want to fight the plant (23-2, 14 KO), because he would hurt and apply Feints, and he is a bad style for him.
Effect $ 10 million
He believes that Berlanga worth $ 10 million Berlanga in the fight against Canelo Alvarez put him in a position where he can choose who he wants to fight. Berlanga is not trying to accept any pretenders at a high level at the age of 168. Munguia wants, who lost two of the last three fights, and Jermall Charlo.
35-year-old Jermall is Antique relic from a distant past When the dinosaurs wandered on the ground before a 9 mm killer, asteroids erased them. He fought only once in the last four years. Charlo’s lifestyle is well known to fans, and this helps Berlanga because he would get another guy who is less than 100%. Edgar’s last opponent, Jonathan Gonzalez-OrtizIt looked like a double body for Tyson Fury, obese -looking, and it was surprising that Dazn agreed to fight for one of his cards.
“Edgar Berlanga is in a privileged position in which he can choose some types of guys to fight. You see how he wanders towards Jaime Munguia. Do you know why? Millcity boxing About Edgar Berlang, whose goal is to fight Jaime Munguui, not the Caleb plant.
The reason why Berlanga is “privileged” is that he has a immense base of fans in Recent York with Puerto Rikan, who identify with him. Edgar is not from the island, but plays at an angle and wears the flag for his fights. He likes to be an American, but perceives himself as Puerto Rican.
A broken warrior?
“He [Munguia] It comes to you and can probably be damaged from this knockout [against Bruno Surace on December 14th last year]. It was a bad knockout. He was [Berlanga] fight him rather than a guy [Plant] It will be moving, fevering and using its reflections. This kind of things, “Stephen continued why Berlanga wants Munguu, but not planting,” said Edwards.
Berlanga wants Munguia for three reasons:
- Uncomplicated to hit
- Chinny: He knocked out with respect in the last fight
- Popular among Mexican fans: this means immense PPV shopping and good money for Berlang.
“Sometimes, when guys earn some amounts, they become [selective]. Caleb is a bad style for him – said Edwards. “He would prefer to fight such guys who are before him.”
Berlanga is what is considered to be broken warrior. He got a immense $ 10 million compared to Canelo Alvarez in September last year, and now he wants similar money every time he fights, even though he doesn’t deserve it. Berlanga does not want to go back to receiving the handbags he got when he fought Padraig McCrora, Jason Quigley and Roamer Alexis Angulo.
Terenka Crawford is another example. After receiving a great payment against Errol Spence, he waited all year round until he was offered an appropriate agreement against Israil Madrimov. He just didn’t want to fight one of the pretenders at the age of 147 and take a gigantic cutting of remuneration. Now he does it again, sitting from the ring for a year to wait for him to get a great payment against Canelo. When these guys taste a huge cake, they don’t compete as before. They just look for specific fights about immense payments.
You will not see how they fight ordinary pretenders because there is no money and they may lose. You can’t put Berlanga with the best super medium -medium wagons, such as the plant, Christian Mbilli, Diego Paczecho or Oslyys Iglesias, because he was beaten again. His career will end if he goes to 175, where he should fight. There are no great payments for him or effortless grades, such as Munguia. There are only killers, like David Benavidez, David Morrell, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiv, who send him to defeat.
“He never won the title of the world,” said Edwards about Berlang. “This guy got $ 9 million [$10m to fight Canelo Alvarez]. It’s a lot of money. This is much more money than fighters much better than Edgar Berlanga was earned in one night. “
Canelo is ashamed of choosing a fight with Berlang because he knows that he has not deserved a shot for the world. His best wins were against Jason Quigley and Padraig McCrory. These are smaller guys. Canelo should have given the title of Pasteco, Mbilla or Iglesias, but we know why he didn’t choose them. They are solid warriors.
White boy claim
“Edgar Berlanga got a lot of money to fight Canelo and lost every round,” said Stephen. “I thought he was fighting well, but he lost at least 10 or 11 rounds and never won the motor title. He got eight, nine or 11 million dollars. This is a lot of money for a pretender for the title of world champion. It is tough to force this kind of guy to fight the Canelo plant, in which he will be delicate.
“It’s effortless to lose with Canelo because he is a legend. He is a guy with a higher rating. If he loses with Caleb after he said so many things about him, it will be, it will be [tough]. If Edgar loses with Caleb, his career probably ended because nobody wants to be defeated by a white boy. It’s a problem. American White Boys, people don’t want to lose to them, “said Edwards.
Berlanga focuses on money. This is a real reason why he is more interested in fighting Jaime Munguia, Canelo and Jermall Charlo than a plant. He can earn more money with the fight with these guys than he can plant because fans will buy events at PPV.
Munguia would have many Mexican Americans willing to order the fight with him and Berlanga. It doesn’t matter that Munguia is a marginal warrior who carefully maneuver his entire career by his promoters.
Mexican fans would still like to see how Berlanga is fighting because they would see it as a good fight. Berlang fans on the east coast would like to see this match and they don’t care that he never beat a good warrior in his career. They don’t care or understand that his CV is full of journeymen.

The Errol Spence Jr vs Tim Tszyu fight will take place on July 26 in Australia
Published

April 25, 2026
Rafael reported that sources indicate that the junior middleweight fight is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, July 26, in Australia, which means the U.S. broadcast will take place on Saturday evening, July 25.
If finalized, it would be Spence’s first fight since his loss to Terence Crawford in July 2023. The former welterweight champion has spent a long period out of the ring, which would also mean him moving up to junior middleweight against an opponent who is naturally bigger and more busy.
This makes it a challenging return task rather than a unthreatening tune-up. Spence will return after almost three years away overseas and will face a fighter who has already operated at a world-class level in the division. This July will mark approximately 36 months since Spence’s last fight. At the age of 36, such passivity is arduous for most people.
Tim Tszyu is also trying to maintain his standing in front of the home crowd after a recent arduous run. Still, he remains one of the stronger names at 154 and brings size, pressure and knowledge of the weight.
The schedule provides a clear commercial window for both sides, with the Australian stadium-style afternoon event morphing neatly into Saturday night on American television.
Nothing is official until the contracts are signed, but if it does happen, Spence will take the risk immediately. Many players at the end of the break ask for something more fragile. This one goes the other way.

World champion claims Conor Benn pulled out of fight after ‘setting up the whole deal’

Conor Benn could be ready for a world title fight against Ryan Garcia, but there is one reigning world champion who claims the Briton recently pulled out of a title shot even though “the whole deal has already been done.”
Benn made his Zuffa Boxing debut earlier this month. defeating Regis Prograis in a 150-pound catchweight bout – his first fight at sub-154 pounds in four years – and now he looks ready to fight for world titles at welterweight.
Although his position as mandatory challenger for the WBC title put him in line to face Garcia, WBA 147-pound champion Rolando Romero claimed that Benn had withdrawn from the title fight.
I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV“Rolly” explained why he doubted the Garcia fight would happen and revealed that he expected to fight Benn until “The Destroyer” changed his mind.
“Conor Benn waived me, we had the whole deal done, we were supposed to fight on May 30 in Fresh York for my world title, and then he just disappeared out of nowhere.
Conor Benn was there begging to fight me. By the way, we already had everything planned, but he’s in Fresh York trying to create all this fuss and stuff – he did it for advantage. Same with this, he can do this with Ryan too to gain strength.
“They’re out there trying to do all this stuff, I don’t do this imitation beef. That throws me off, you go and do all this imitation beef and then you come here and act like a gigantic, tough guy and then you run away and don’t fight.”
“Maybe he was doing it with Ryan because Ryan would have knocked him out cool.”
Garcia and Benn could collide this summer in Las Vegas when Benn returns to the welterweight division in a direct world title fight.

Jermell Charlo picks Tim Tszyu to defeat Errol Spence Jr

Charlo then launched into a longer explanation, questioning what version of Spence would emerge after his years outside the ring and claiming that style favored Tszyu.
“He has little defense. Errol will come in softly. He doesn’t really move his head. Tim moves his head. He throws a few stone hay shots. “I just follow my fighting style and be realistic.”
Jermell looked like a war veteran and described the fight, giving reasons why he chose Tszyu to beat Spence.
For years, these two towers were the “Twin Towers” of Derrick James’ gym in Dallas. They shared celebrations, sweat and secrets. The problem is that Errol was very vocal about these sessions, essentially telling the world that he was “teaching” Jermell.
For a guy like Charlo, who carries enormous pride and has built his “Lions Only” brand on being the alpha, having a former teammate claim dominance over him is a stain he can’t wash off in a sanctioned fight.
Having never fought professionally, these gym stories are the only narrative that exists and you have to wonder if it’s still eating at him.
Charlo also indicated the location, with the fight expected to take place in Australia.
“He’s going to Australia there. I see Tim Tszyu winning that fight,” Jermell said.
X is having a field day because Charlo looks like a man who sat in a dim room and watched Spence’s training videos over and over again. Fans call this the “villain arc” energy. He spoke quickly, louder and louder, and seemed personally interested in the answer.
During the prophecy, Jermell had a diabolical look in his eyes, as if he were performing a technical exorcism on his elderly rival.
When he has such wide eyes and high energy intensity, he tends to rely on his “Only Lions” personality, which thrives on perceived disrespect. In this case, the disrespect is the years in which Errol Spence Jr. he claimed to be the “substantial brother” at the gym.
“I don’t have to fight Errol Spence and I don’t care about fighting Errol Spence,” Jermell said.
Jermell is essentially using Tim Tszyu as a proxy. Since Charlo hasn’t fought at 154 pounds since 2022, he needs Spence to lose to someone else to prove that the elderly era (the Derrick James era) is over. If Tszyu destroys Spence, it will validate Charlo’s technical criticism and make his inactivity look like a calculated move rather than a decline.
