Veteran Gabe Rosado says that Edgar Berlanga is “delusional”, believing that he has been a great draw since the fight against the Supergivia Canelo Alvarez in September last year. Rosado claims that Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) believes that PPV’s success of his fight with Canelo was caused by his popularity, not Mexican stars. He thinks Edgar as unchanging with reality, believing that he is a great draw and a star.
Rosado indicates that Berlang’s last fight with inactive Jonathan Gonzalezem-Ortr at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida did not sell out in March last year. The place has a capacity of sitting 5000 places, but the event was still not a sale.
Gabe sounds without bitter that Berlanga decided not to fight him. Both were supposedly in the negotiations about the fight in February or March in Puerto Rico. However, this never happened, and Rosado It still seems salty About this.
Türkiye’s Pick: Headliner
Despite Rosado’s criticism, Alalshikh chose Turki Berlanga At the head of his card on July 12 against Hamzah Sheeraz during the PPV event at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Novel York. Turki likes Berlanga enough to put it in the main event, instead of choosing the fight Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda as the main one.
“If you thought you were a star you were thinking about, why wasn’t it sold out? Why was he in a miniature ballroom and still not sold out?” Gabriel Rosado said Boxing DAZNDiscussing Edgar Berlang’s last fight with 35-year-old Jonathan Gonzalezem-Ortris on March 15 in Orlando, Florida.
If Berlanga wins the fight with Sheeraz and looks good, as he did thanks to his knockout Gonzalez-Ortyz, Turki will certainly utilize it for a larger competition against Caleb Plant or Jermall Charlo. As long as Edgar wins and looks good, he will probably fight Turki’s events.
“As a match warrior Eddie Hearn kept his word, he kept his promise that you would fight Canelo,” said Rosado. “You have this bag and then leave it because you do not want to give up. If you do not want to give up someone who has kept their word and got the amount that you would never earn?”
Why Berlanga left the match
It looked bad that Berlanga left Hearn, and not again with his match company after the expiry of the contract in March last year. Hearn got a fight with Canelo. However, Berlanga partly justified the leaving the match, because Hearn did not invested money in the title shot with the then super medium-sized champion-Ibf William Scull.
Edgar believed that Hearn should do this. If so, he says that he would destroy Scull and fight Canelo in a rematch for the unquestioned 168-Funt championship.
“Then you think you will fight [Caleb] Plant and [Jermall] Charlo. What do you think PBC will pay you this [money]? Come, man. Do you know boxing business? Canelo was your fight. You are illusions because you thought you made these numbers. Canelo made these numbers – said Rosado.
The future of Berlang from Turki
As long as Turki uses Berlanga for his events, it doesn’t matter what PBC will do. It will ensure that he will pay well for fighting the plant or Charlo, if they are interested in creating. It is hard to predict what is fighting Turki, he would be interested in making Berlang if he won in his battle against Sheeraz.
It is expected that a slight start in the welterweight Oscar Duarte and Kenneth Sims Jr. It will be announced on August 2 at the Union Credit Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The winner will be pushed higher in the rankings and prepared to challenge the world championship title.
Duarte, a 29 -year -old from Mexico, turned his career since he stopped in eight rounds by Ryan Garcia in December 2023. Since then, Duarte has won the last three fights, defeating Joseph “Jojo” Diaz, Botirzhon Akhmed and Miguel Madueno. Oscar takes 5 #5 WBA and it seems that he is positioned to challenge Master Gary Antuanne Russell for his newly won the title.
Duarte pressure key to victory?
Duarte will have to put pressure without a break to defeat Kenneth Sims. As we saw in the victories of Sims over Elvis Rodriguez and Jonathan Romero, he is doing well against fighters who are fighting at a sluggish pace, throwing one blow at once. This style works for Sims.
After the attack, Sims withdraws in a way Shakur, but there are no legs to run around the ring like him. It definitely gives earth and tries to neutralize the crime during pressure. The Sims will be more challenging to do it against Duarte if he attacks him as Miguel Madueno did in his last fight.
It will come down to whether Duarte can hold the Sims under the pistol throughout the whole fight, because if it takes place aside, he will choose him in his style Shakur. He is not power. He focuses on scoring points, winning rounds and making decisions. This is not a style that the average fan likes to watch; That’s why Sims didn’t pay much attention during his long career.
Sims Jr.’s urgency is needed
11-year-old Pro Sims occupies 4 WBA No. 4 and 10 IBF. He must move his career faster because he is 31 years aged and he lacks time. Sims will enter Duarte’s fight with the nine victorious run with the victories over Elvis Rodriguez, Jonathan Romero, Kendo Castaned and Botirzhon Akhmedov.
Boxing MP broke History about the fight Duarte vs. Sims Jr. It is signed on August 2. This is a good clash between boxer/puncher sims Jr. (22-2-1, 8 KO), which will face Fifter Fighter Duarte (29-2-1, 23 KO) in an event for a golden boy.
The unquestioned champion Josh Taylor (19-2, 13 KO) will fight for the meaning and redemption on May 24, when he debuts in a welterweight against WBO European Belt-Holder Eivow Essuman (21-1, 8 KO) in Glasgow. Card streams live on Dazn (22:00 Local / 17:00 et / 14:00 PT) with Hydro Ovo.
This is Taylor’s first fight in Scotland from the controversial Catterall saga, and this time there is no margin of error. He is older, heavier and moves away with losses. Let’s see if the crowd still believes.
Taylor’s Homecoming: Redemption Tour or Retirement Road?
Taylor was a long fall. After cleaning 140 victories over Baranchyk, Prograis and Ramirez, he slipped into the fog of disputed victories, injuries, and ultimately two clear paralysis – one for Cattell, and the other against Theofimo Lopez, where he looked like the spirit of his aged self.
Now at the age of 34 he enters the weight class full of wolves. And they will not respect his past. They will test what is left of the present. Essuman may not be an elite, but it is not pressure. And if Taylor looks flat, tired or selfless, Glasgow can quickly become hostile.
It’s more than just a return. It’s a career. Win and he can get another gigantic payment day. Lose, and the conversation turns away from “What next?” “What went wrong?”
Essuman’s shot to destroy heritage – and he knows about it
Essuman is not here for payment. The former British champion, Commonwealth and IBF Euro, rebuilt after his only defeat with Harry Scarff last year. Since then, Owen Cooper and Ben Vaughana knocked down: he explained: he wants to fight at the level.
He has an engine, has experience and has already crashed the jaws in the ring. Ask Danny Ball. Essuman is not afraid of Glasgow. He fought under the lights in Wembley and Manchester. The scene will not scare him – and the name of Taylor will not be either.
If he wins, he jumps straight into the WBO mixture at 147. If he loses? It will continue to come out with greater credibility than when he came in.
The invincible British heavyweight Moses Itauma (11-0, 9 KO) returns on May 24, in the face of the former NFL linebacker, Mike Balogun (21-1, 16 KO) in Hydro Ovo in Glasgow.
Balogun brings a size, not danger – Moses should have fun through it
Ituma destroyed Demesey McKean in two minutes of flat in December in Riyadh. Since then, fans have been waiting for months for their next victim. Go to Mike Balogun: Southpaw, a tough guy, a padded record and the best known for flattening by Murat Gasssiev in less than six minutes.
Sure, Balogun has 21 wins, but let’s not pretend that these names mean something. His last trip? Winning points over Lamont Capers – a walking definition of a “safe and sound opponent”.
His is a presentation. Balogun is here to eat blows, try to get it and may survive long enough to test Itauma’s patience. If possible at all.
Moses is marching – but the real danger is approaching forward
The golden boy Queensberry wants the belt. And with another dominant KO, he approaches the title eliminator. If he looks edged, you can put names such as Hrgovic, Makhmudov or Kabayel, they begin to float in the backsthrough.
For now, Balogun is speed. But Ituma not only defeats opponents – he erases them. And if the Balogun becomes sloppy or conceited for a second, he can wake up staring at the lights.
It is no longer about proving yourself. It’s about ticking fields until great fights land.
Information about the event

The stunning incident saw that the boxing judge attacked and threw out of the ring cruelly after he organized a fight in the Dominican Republic on Saturday evening.
The incident took place in Pabellon de Karate at Centro Olimpico, Santo Domingo, in the fight between the unbeaten Marcelino Nieves and the experienced Norbelto Jimenez.
Shuan Boxing promoted an event that the World Council promised to investigate. Nieves, 19-0, lost for the first time and violence broke out.
Confirming the results, Shuan Boxing said: “Jimenez raised a victory against Marcelino, after an intense fight, which kept the audience on the edge of their places.
“Congratulations on both Pugilists for their submission and we thank the public for constant support for national boxing.”
However, the members of the Nieves Stal team accused of commitment, despite reports that the judge achieved worse results in the fight against the card.
One culprit strikes an official who retreats towards the ropes. Many others enter the ring, and the judge is unceremoniously thrown onto the floor.
After observing the shocking event, the president of WBC Mauricio Sulaiman swore to take action.
“It is a brutal, unacceptable, cowardly attack on a judge in the Dominican Republic.

Claressa Shields, a champion of star and heavyweight, responded to the position of Sulaiman. She said, “I can’t believe it really happened.”
Boxer, Maria Cornejo, added: “So melancholy! Inadmissible.”
Later Shuan Boxing issued a statement for World Boxing News. He read: “To our audience, media and community:
“We express our gratitude from the Shuan boxing promotion for attendance and support provided during the Night of the Fight.
Shuan Boxing
“However, we deeply regret that during the development of the event there was some incorrect behavior, engaging people who do not represent the values and philosophy of our company.
“We will completely break away from these attitudes and repeat our involvement in honesty, respect and truthful sport.
“We will debt the honest apology of the audience and all participants whose behavior affected these behaviors outside our will. We take the necessary means to prevent similar situations in future editions.
“We hope that in addition to these isolated incidents, you liked boxing matches and the level of sports, which was prepared with such a great effort to ensure the performance at the peak of our fans.
“Thank you for understanding, trust and continuous support of professional boxing. SHUAN boxing promotion.”
The official has not yet been mentioned because the provisions have not been updated to reflect the results of the program. However, the investigation of WBC should reveal more on the coming days.
