Edgar Berlanga spoke to his first series of knockout in an exclusive interview with worldboxingnews.com.
“The Chosen One” recorded his seventeenth first detention of the session against Jonathan Gonzalez -ortis on March 15 at Caribe Royale, Orlando, Florida. Berlanga met with criticism of the 151-second triumph, despite Gonzalez-Ortiz, which had a record of 20-0-1, 16 Kos.
The participants were created over the boxer caliber beaten by his latest victim. However, Berlanga rejected his finger’s guide in the best possible way, setting another opponent.
WBN began by asking the hero Puerto Rico, or his cup, which began with 16 basic KO1 in 2016-2020, became the last burden for him.
Berlanga said World Boxing News: “I wouldn’t say that knockout streak is a burden because everything happens for some reason.
“I am the biggest guy in sport and he had 17 knockouts in the first round. Nobody had it from Mike Tyson, and he only had eight knockout in the first round. He shows how warrior I am.
“At the beginning it was so, because when I knocked out everyone in the first round, I eliminated 16 opponents in the first round, but I didn’t get good rounds to get such experience. So when I started the distance with these guys, people said that I was a tick and I’m not good.
“They also said that it ended because I didn’t pink anyone, but I needed these rounds.”
The stunning series of knockout Berlanga raised his reputation enough for Canelo Alvarez to agree to Showdown Las Vegas in September last year. Despite the losing points, Berlanga says that he will get these rounds between April 2021 against Demond Nicholson and Canelo on the T-Mobile arena prepared him better for the challenge of a great fight.
“I feel that if I didn’t have or got any of these rounds to go to ten or twelve rounds,” Berlanga noted. “I don’t think I would survive with Canelo, and I would even be able to adapt it to IQ to IQ and stand before him to make your finger feet for ten to twelve rounds, so introducing these rounds and this experience was critical to me.
“I think this blessing at the end of the day.”
River king
Berlanga added: “There is no criticism, defending the references of Gonzalez-Ortiz after a few moans before and after his victory, he added:” There is no criticism. People will speak independently.
“I want to see how one of these guys try to knock down Canelo in the first round. They wouldn’t do it. They would go at a distance and probably beat him.
“They look at a guy like him and look at his body shape. You look at Tyson Fury. Tyson was a massive guy, but he was the undisputed champion. The same with this guy. He is an undefeated warrior.
“He had 20 and 0 with 16 knockouts. He was a tough guy. There is Puerto Rican, so I knew he was coming to fight. He wasn’t on the run, but I’m on a different level now, and people must understand it.
“Whoever is in front of me, I take them in the same way, regardless of whether it is Jaime Mungía, Caleb Plant or Charlo, any of these guys, I leave them.
“It doesn’t matter who is ahead of me. It can be a guy with a height of 300 pounds and seven feet; I also take him.
“This is a statement that I want to make in this world now,” summed up the pretender to the super medium -sized medium weight.

Canelo Alvarez coach, Eddy Reynoso, found himself under the fire from Oscar de la Hoya after Jaime Munguia did not pass the drug test.
De la Hoya reacted to the news that Munguia had a positive result after winning revenge on Bruno Surace.
Vada informed about the tests to Mungui, which reacted with denial for the allegations.
“During my boxing career I went through numerous anti-doping tests and never tested a positive one,” said Munguia.
“I was tested twice during this training camp, and both results returned negatively, so receiving this notification of an unfavorable discovery was a complete surprise for me.
“Several experts explained that many ways of pollution may occur. I am fully ready to undergo all retroactive, present or future tests to show that I have always been a pure athlete,” he added.

“If there are four warriors (Canelo, Garcia, Mungui and Julio Cesar Martinez) who are positively testing for any medicine, who is the coach? Because the trainer should supervise it.
“Regardless of whether they have a dietitian or a doctor. The trainer is responsible, so maybe you should talk to them.”
