Edwards on “A-Side” Berlanga: Star Status Clash, Title Lure and The Benavidez Featance
Published
1 year agoon
Caleba Plant coach, Stephen Edwards, says that he does not think that there will be a fight between him and Edgar Berlang. He listened to Berlanga (23-01, 18 Kos), saying: “F *** Caleb Plant” after his victory in the first round on Jonathan Gonzalezem-Ortrizem on March 15, and he considered that he was not interested.
First money mentality
Berlanga said in an interview that the plant is not what he wanted. I want Jaime Munguia or Jermall Charlo. He thinks that defeating one of these guys will be a golden ticket for a rematch with Canelo Alvarez. This is a fight that Berlanga talked about endlessly. He got “Bag “ Fighting Canelo in September last year and wants second aid.
Edgar knows that killers such as a plant, Oslyys Iglesias, David Benavidez, Diego Pachco and Christian Mbilli would be too risky to achieve their goal. So it is elderly, inactive, unintentional 35-year-old Jermall Charlo and recently twice Munguia.
If the box were together, warriors like Berlanga would have to lead the glove through all the best rivals to get the title shot against Canelo. As we saw from Berlang, he didn’t have to do it. For Edgar to get a “bag”, he had to overcome these three:
– padraig mccrry
– Jason Quigley
– Roamer Alexis Angulo
“I have not heard that she calls Caleb. I heard him say,” Fuck Caleb, “said coach Stephen Edwards Millcity boxing Caleb Plant does not call for Edgar Berlang after winning the victory over Jonathan Gonzalezem -ortiz last week. “I have not heard that he says,” I want to fight the Caleb plant. ” He said “the fucking plant” and he still said it. This is not next to it. “
Berlanga definitely did not call the plant after the fight against Gonzalez-Ortr. When he gave an interview, he repeatedly repeated: “Fuck a caleb plant.” Asked who he wants to fight, Berlanga said: “Jaime Munguia and Jermall Charlo.” The fans did not listen to him and mistakenly thought that he was raising the fight of plants. The same CV Like him.
Munguia was adapted to the scrub in his entire career until he received the fight against Canelo Alvarez in May last year, which he lost to a unilateral 12-round decision. In his last fight, Munguua fought with an unknown guy, Bruno Surace, who had an undefeated record filled with any names. Surprisingly, Mungua was knocked out. This is not because Surace is good. He lost, because from the first day he was only a work of noise.
Requirements on the side of A.
“I saw Berlanga’s indispensable with Eddie Hearn for not fighting William Scull. I understand why he was nervous. I think he and Caleb will have problems with the fight. Edgar thinks he is a bigger star and will want the most money. Caleb believes that he is better than Edgar, and he is a bigger star and he needs most of the money.
“Caleb Plant was previously a world champion and had the title defense. When you sit and have negotiations, all these things come to the one who will be a party and who will defend B. [with Scull]. “
Stephen deepened badly. Berlanga said that the reason he wanted to fight with the super middle champion IBF, William Scull, is that he believed it was a win, and he could employ the title as a bait to get a rematch with a uniform champion of three stripes Canelo Alvarez. Berlanga earned $ 10 million in the fight against Canelo in September last year and wants a quick rematch to get a similar payment.
The money he earns against other warriors is much smaller. So, if Berlanga defeated Sculla, Canelo would fight him again to capture the fourth lane to undoubted the championship about the middle superpower on the fight line with Trywford in September. While boxing society would not like to see the rematch between Canelo and Berlanga, it would still happen. However, this will not be the case, because Berlanga does not fight Scull.
Benavidez fear
“Edgar never fought with Benavidez and I don’t think the fight would never happen. I don’t think so, because Benavidez is a bit too much for Berlang. They could fight, but he [Berlanga] He followed Canelo because he is a super large star [allowing Edgsr to get a big payday].
“Edgar has one of the best managers in boxing at Keith Connolly. This guy knows what he is doing and will not let Edgar fight Benavidez. Edgar is a good warrior, but do you see Benavidez’s fights? These are challenging fights. They are challenging. [Berlanga] He would not fight him because they lost, and this will ruin his brand a bit. This is one thing losing to Canelo from the decision.
“You can say that he was not experienced enough. Losing to Benavidez by brutal beating or a knockout, it would simply not be good for his brand, especially in a fight, which he does not have to take. So I do not see that he would fight him,” said Stephen.
Berlanga will probably fight Benavidez at some point, but only for money, not because he thinks he can win or deserves to fight. If Berlanga moves to 175, he will face a pliable objection that he will build his record 23-1 in 168 and was looking for a great payment day.
The guy is so predictable in the way his management fits him. He never fought with the highest level before fighting Canelo in September last year, and now, when he lost, he returned to fight with tomato cans, on which he built his produced record.

Coach Terence Crawford BoMac admits that one of the players “had his number”: “We had to take it away”

Terence Crawford has faced select top-class players throughout his career, but there was one player who coach Brian “BoMac” McIntyre deemed a real threat to his protégé’s dominance.
As the undisputed champion of three divisions, it’s safe and sound to say that “Bud” never shied away from a formidable challenge, even if it meant putting himself at a significant disadvantage.
His fight with Canelo Alvarez, for example, saw the extraordinary technician move up two weight classes and dethroned the Mexican with a remarkable unanimous decision victory last September.
Similarly, many felt that Crawford was clearly the underdog before us his fight with Errol Spence Jr. in 2023only to score a ruthless ninth-round finish and unify all four major welterweight titles.
But according to longtime head coach “BoMac,” Crawford came closest to his only professional loss in 2019, six years before he retired from the sport.
The American was then defending his WBO welterweight title against Egidijus Kavaliauskas, also known as “Mean Machine”, who was not only undefeated, but also boasted an impressive knockout to victory ratio.
I’m talking to Podcast on the front pageMcIntyre credited Kavaliauskas with forcing Crawford to change his tactics after the third round, when “Bud” jumped out of the ring after being deemed a no-knockdown.
“That motherfucker just kept coming and coming. He didn’t stop. For the first few rounds, he only had Bud’s number because he was punching before Bud and punching after Bud.
“It was like, ‘Damn, dog – you [Crawford] I have to pick it up.”
Ultimately, Crawford managed to secure a ninth-round victory over Kavaliauskas, but he had to dig deep into his tool bag to win. The record-breaking star later said that “Mean Machine” was one of the hardest hits he had ever faced.
“Well, you never know. You know what I mean? I think he can make that weight if he wants to,” Prince told Fighthype about the fight between Shakur and Haney.
“But like I told him, Shakur weighs 135 pounds. They weigh 147. So out of 12 pounds, we’re willing to take eight. We’re not even saying we’ll meet halfway.”
“So you never know. I don’t count them because certain numbers often change a person’s mind, right? You never know.”
Prince also said there are ongoing discussions about Stevenson fighting next after recently winning the WBO 140-pound welterweight title.
“It’s up in the air. We’re regrouping. We’re planning again and people will know about it very soon,” Prince said.
Shakur moved up earlier this year and defeated Teofimo Lopez to win the WBO 140-pound title. Stevenson already held titles in three weight classes before moving up to 140.
Haney continued competing at welterweight after moving up from 140 pounds following fights against Ryan Garcia, Brian Norman Jr. and Mario Barrios.
Prince also mentioned undefeated lightweight title challenger Abdullah Mason, who returns to his hometown of Cleveland this month.
“I’m excited, first of all, that Abdullah Mason is fighting at home,” Prince said.
“I have a long history with Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, the entire Midwest was one of the first to embrace my Rap-A-Lot movement.
“They should be really proud of their child.”

Tony Bellew explains why Fabio Wardley was right not to throw in the towel against Dubois

After Saturday’s heavyweight classic, one of the key topics of conversation was whether Fabio Wardley’s corner should have pulled his man out earlier, and former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew shared his view on the matter.
Wardley defended his WBO heavyweight title against Daniel Dubois, but despite two early knockdowns starting in the seventh round, it quickly became clear that the champion was fading.
With Dubois attacking and attacking, the once even fight slowly became one-sided, and after two doctor checks and continued attacking, referee Howard Foster finally intervened in round 11.
While many viewers questioned whether manager Ben Davison should have saved Wardley from an unnecessary penalty, Bellew defended the coach during a TV interview Fight Your Corner Podcast.
“I’m not like many others. I don’t think it should have been stopped earlier. I think the referee did a great job. I don’t think the towel should have been thrown in earlier for the straightforward reason that Fabio Wardley has already shown on many occasions, that he never takes him out of a fight.
“Even if he’s miles behind, even if he’s been injured in a fight, he can pull his hand out of the bag at any time, and for that reason alone, that’s why he should have been allowed to continue playing.
“This is the reason why players like Arturo Gatti were able to continue playing against players like Micky Ward. With his neck up against the ropes and getting punched in the face regularly and Frank Cappuccino [referee] let’s leave it alone, it’s because of the history it has. So they allowed this fight to continue and in my opinion they were right.
“You’ll never make fights truly magical unless you allow the carnage to unfold.”
After a precautionary check-up at a nearby hospital, it was confirmed that Wardley was not seriously injured in the fight. The Ipswich fan favorite could now act his rematch clause and will try to take revenge for the first defeat in his professional career, becoming a two-time heavyweight ruler.
