Edgar Berlanga is attacking the fight against Jaime Munguia this year, if the Mexican warrior wins his rematch with Bruno Surace to Undercard Canelo Alvarez vs. William Scull on May 3 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Mungia over the plant?
The choice of recently knocked out Mungui as his desired opponent, not Caleb plants, will make Berlanga look bad. Boxing fans already perceive Berlanga as a plant, but it will strengthen this view even more if he decides to face Munguui.
There is no profit for Edgar fighting Mungua, because he has 2-2 in the last four fights and will probably lose the rematch against Surace on May 3. Fans were looking forward to Berlang’s fight with the plant when he mentioned his name after his last fight.
Berlanga believes that 28 -year -old Mungia is his best option because it would attract the interest of Mexico and Puerto Rican fans. He believes that the victory over Mungui will give him a rematch with the United Master of Super Medium weight Canelo Alvarez.
Former challenge for the title of the world of super medium weight Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) said Ring magazine That he perceives Munguui (44-2, 35 KO) as a guy he wants, not Caleb Plant or Jermall Charlo.
Fantasies in the first round
Berlanga believes that he can knock out Munguia in the first round. The first round of Edgar with 35 years antique Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz On March 15, he gave him ideas that Munguia could do the same. Assuming that Berlanga is going to fight Mungui, and he defeats him, you need more to get a rematch from Canelo.
Berlanga counts for the Riyadh season, interested in him and finances his hope to fight Mungui. If this happens, it’s good for him. Munguia and Berlanga are Pen -birds. Both guys were carefully maneuvered with their entire career, adapted to strictly indigent opposition to get a great Canelo payment. They both got a fight and were completely exceeded in unilateral losses.
“Bag” factor
As you might expect, Berlanga will attack Jermalla Charlo after Mungua, because it is an easier option than the Caleb plant. If Canelo is to make Berlanga challenging “Bag” From him he will have to go through challenging contenders at the age of 168, maybe even guys aged 175.
Edgar resembled a hatch cruiser to fight obese Gonzalez-Ort. Where, at the hell, the management of Berlang found gonzalez-creature? He looked like someone who spends time in the buffins.
If Berlanga really wants to get a rematch from Canelo, he will have to focus on more challenging outskas from this list:
– David Benavidez – David Morrell – Dmitryry Bivol – Artur Beterbiev – Oslyys Iglesias
Defeating these guys would force Canelo to notice Berlang and gave him the “bag” he chases. It seems to be his careers, not winning world titles, such as ordinary fighters.
“I am the king of knockout in the first round and I am energetic. You have Alalshikh Turks there, who is ready to give us everything,” said Mungia to Brian Campbell YouTube canal. “You have a dazna there who is ready Give us a bag. I want to chop these guys one by one. They start with Mungui, Caleb, [Jermall] Charlo, and the list is still happening.
“Of course, it’s about it [Berlanga scratches his fingers together to indicate that he wants money when asked if he’s looking for a short-term deal with a promoter]. We do it for ourselves [me first attitude] And our pockets. The fight must make sense and money must make sense. It must be a bag.
“People do not come to watch these promoters. They come to watch us. They come to watch me, and Munguia are trying to make each other. So, so, so We were supposed to pay our bag. “
“Derrick James, he started getting a little more players and a little more buzz, and I feel like our communication has changed,” Charlo told Brian Custer.
Charlo said that as James built a larger stable, there was less hands-on time spent with him and more trying to control the gym environment. He claimed that James wanted things done his way, including telling players to remove dogs from the gym during training sessions and changing the atmosphere that helped build their success.
Charlo has been out of the ring since his loss to Saul Alvarez in 2023, and James recently split from Errol Spence Jr. A coach once considered one of the safest hands in the sport is suddenly facing public criticism from two of his biggest names.
“He wanted it his way,” Charlo said. “Coach needs us. Don’t overdo it, coach. Serene down, coach. I was your first champion.”
He also pointed to his camp leading up to the Alvarez fight, saying the support around him wasn’t the same when he needed it most.
“You don’t enter into a world title fight like that,” Charlo said.
Charlo still believes he can regain his spot in the junior middleweight division, and talks about a possible fight with Sebastian Fundora are ongoing later this year. His confidence hasn’t changed, but his patience with ancient alliances has noticeably changed. Sometimes a rift begins when success changes the room.
However, ‘AJ’ instead maintained that he would prefer a warm-up fight first, with the Londoner expected to return to action in July, ahead of a long-awaited meeting with his arch-rival in November.
I’m talking to talkSPORT BoxingHamed was looking forward to this match and suggested that a draw could be on the cards.
“Who do I think will win the fight between AJ and Fury? Well, that is the question and everyone wants to know.
“Years ago, Tyson had this awkward style for me where he could make AJ look stupid, that’s true. Now everything has changed. Tyson seemed to have backed off a little bit.
“But with Tyson Fury you never know, maybe one night he’ll show up and box amazingly and do what he did to Wilder. Those first few rounds [against Makhmudov]I was a little disappointed that he didn’t go from the start.
“This is going to sound crazy to you, but would it be unbelievable if I said it could be a draw?”
It is unclear whether Fury will also fight in the summer or whether he will avoid risking a lucrative romance with Joshua and wait patiently on the sidelines.
Ben Whittaker’s next few months are already taking shape following his quick knockout victory in Liverpool, and Adam Smith outlines a busy summer schedule that should finally see the delicate heavyweight fighter face stronger tests
Smith said Whittaker is expected to return to the United States in overdue June on the Jaron “Boots” Ennis card, then return to the UK in the summer for a major date in his hometown of Birmingham.
Whittaker stopped Brian Suarez in two rounds last weekend and performed brilliantly throughout, adding another early finish to the stretch that helped rebuild attention around him after his first fight with Liam Cameron ended in a draw.
Smith said the June outing would support expose Whittaker to a wider audience ahead of a bigger national night later in the year.
“He will fight at the end of June in America at the Boots Ennis gala. That’s good. Show him to a global audience. Then he will come back here in overdue summer, maybe early September and fight in Birmingham in a huge fight,” Adam Smith said in an interview with Sport Boxing.
Smith also named British opponents who could be next, naming Lyndon Arthur, Brad Rea and Craig Richards as possible options once Whittaker returns home.
Smith believes that in the long term, bigger domestic fights with Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Yard should come within the next year if Whittaker continues to win.
“Buatsis and Yards need to be delivered within the next 6-12 months.”
Whittaker has had a lot of notoriety since turning pro, but the activity and matchmaking are looking more grave now. The next two fights should tell more than the first ten.
