Eddar Berlanga says the promoter Eddie Hearn “It looked massive” AND “flat” In his defeat in the fifth round with Hamzah Sheeraz last Saturday evening at their Supermocarn WBC Eliminator at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Fresh York.
What went wrong for Berlang?
Hearn speculated that his former warrior, Berlanga (23-2, 18 KO), began to believe in his “personality”, which he created after a few great payments. He felt that he did not enter his main fight with Sheeraz (22-0-1, 18 KO) at its best.
“No, we had a great run. I wish him all the best – said Hearn IFL TV About whether he would like to work again from Berlang. “Now he has to rest and reset his mind to decide how he wants to come back.”
It is understandable why Hearn does not want to sign Berlanga again and probably for these two reasons:
- Re -signing the signing of Berlang would be exorbitant
- The way he left Matchroom: despite the lining of Hearn Edgar with the fight against Canelo Alvarez and giving him three opponents Cream-Puff, he still decided to leave when his contract was rather unspecified.
- A long work is needed: if Hearn restored Berlanga, he would have to slowly rebuild it within three or four fights before he returns it to the world level. In these fights he would bring a diminutive value in the match and who would say that it does not leave after the reconstruction? In other words, no loyalty.
- Lack of talent: Berlanga’s defeat with Sheeraz showed that he lacks the ability to overcome the highest super medium -sized in the division. What Hamzah did would certainly be reproduced by the other 10 fighters at 168.
“Sometimes you can start believing in this personality: Dawn and this kind of things.
Ego Berlang got out of control after victory in the first round with an opponent of tuning, Jonathan Gonzalezem-Ortr, with whom Hearn suited him in March last year.
Why Berlanga looked “massive”
In addition, Edgar received $ 10 million For the fight of Canelo Alvarez and a nice day of payment for the fight of Sheeraz. Berlanga could enjoy millions, and his newly discovered fame a little too much was going to fight Sheeraz.
“I think Edgar looked flat today. I thought he looked massive, but you must assign Hamzah. He was unbelievable. He was so composed. He was not in a hurry. He ripped him. He broke him with a stab,” said Hearn. “He exchanged in the right places, and then began to push him away. When he pushed him away, he began to exert pressure. He made Edgar’s mistakes.”
Sheeraz caught Berlanga with his left hook in the fourth round. When he saw how uncomplicated to hit him, Sheeraz opened an explosive combination four times, which dropped Edgar on the canvas. He did not defend himself as he had him, fighting with Hamzah.
“It was a brutal knockout. The judge should stop the fight after the second knocking down [in the fourth]Berlanga said Hearn on a seriously wounded after he was dropped twice in the fourth round.
The judge decided not to stop the fight, because Berlanga looked willingly continuing. He pounded gloves from frustration, furious at himself and wanting not to make the same mistake. The round ended before the action could resume.
They should never have released him from the stool and were lucky that he did not hurt seriously. He is too brave for his good. You saw when he fell. He pounded the gloves.
“I am disappointed with Edgar, but I am very joyful with Hamzah. I think so,” said Hearn, asked if Sheeraz can fight the winner of the fight Canelo Alvarez vs. Terenca Crawford. “It was a bad knockout [for Berlanga]. “
Turki Alalshikh told last night that Hamzah would fight Canelo in 2026. It is not clear whether Sheeraz will fight Crawford if he wins against Canelo in their fight on September 13.
It would be a waste of time for Turk to adapt to Sheraz against Alvarez if Crawford lost. Thanks to Terenka, he can refuse to fight Sheeraz, preferring to press on a rematch with Canelo. He will want the second payment against the Mexican star.
