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.

Bill Haney commented on the Keyshawn Davis situation, says Shakur Stevenson’s fight is the most significant

“This man said he wanted the number 144,” Bill told Fight Hub TV. “He said, ‘We’ve got to sit down like businessmen and make this happen,’ right? Well, we’ve already sat down like businessmen. We’re ready to make it happen.”
Elder Haney also rejected suggestions that the catchweight proposal would represent a sudden change of plans.
“It’s not so sudden. 144 is a welterweight. Are you crazy or what?” Haney said. “At welterweight, we range from 140 to 147.”
As the conversation turned to Keyshawn Davis and his position as a top contender for the WBO title, Haney repeatedly pointed to what he believed to be a better opportunity.
“What is the most significant boxing fight going on right now?” Haney asked. “Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney.”
Haney acknowledged that Davis remains part of the bigger picture, but pointed out that Stevenson’s matchup has been years in the making.
“This case has been brewing for seven, eight, nine, 10 years, whatever it was,” Haney said. “Just rest and we’ll get it done. He’s on the list. He was on the list before he was on the list, and he’ll stay on the list.”
Time will tell if the fight comes to fruition, but Bill Haney’s comments were perhaps the strongest indication yet that Team Haney is sedate about racing Stevenson at the proposed catchweight of 144 pounds.
The situation could become more complicated if the WBO formally orders Haney to fulfill his mandatory obligation to Davis. Until then, it appears the Haneys are turning their attention to what they believe is the biggest fight available.

Oscar De La Hoya says Gervonta Davis doesn’t deserve to have an undefeated record before her comeback

Oscar De La Hoya believes Gervonta Davis’ professional record should see a loss ahead of his potential comeback fight.
It is said that the 31-year-old is in negotiations for a fight for the WBA lightweight title with Floyd Schofield Jr, offering “Tank” the opportunity to regain his elderly belt.
Davis defended his world title after: controversial draw with Lamont Roach in March 2025, but has since become the sanctioning body’s “halt champion” at 135 pounds.
This is partly due to his passivity, but also to the American’s problems outside the ring, where he faced accusations of domestic violence.
However, it currently appears that Davis could return to action soon, with a potential fight with Schofield set for September or October.
These negotiations involve Schofield’s promoter, Golden Boy boss De La Hoya, who insists that “Tank” should suffer his first professional defeat in the match against Roach.
Their match ended in a draw after referee Steve Willis ruled against a knockdown in round nine when Davis clearly touched the canvas following a shot by Roach.
As a result, De La Hoya said Fighting Hub TV that Roach should have back-to-back victories over “Tank” and Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, whom he boxed in December to a less controversial draw.
“Roach is a great fighter in his own right. He has some really good wins under his belt. I say he wins because I think he really won against ‘Tank’ Davis and I think he did a great job against ‘Pitbull.’
If Davis and Schofield’s respective teams are unable to reach an agreement by June 22, their mandate quarterback will be sent to a bidding hearing.

Shakur Stevenson accuses Devin Haney of ‘false public negotiations’ after £144 settlement

Potential negotiations between Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson have taken another public turn after Stevenson accused his rival of engaging in “false public negotiations” following Haney’s latest comments on social media.
Haney appeared frustrated after previously agreeing to Stevenson’s proposed catchweight of 144 pounds, suggesting that even accepting those terms did not bring the fight any closer to becoming a reality.
“144 is not enough…I still don’t want to fight! Damn…@ShakurStevenson,” Haney wrote X.
Shakur later responded by dismissing this public exchange as a impoverished reflection of how main event fights actually unfold.
“The same thing you all did with Rolly. All those counterfeit public negotiations… The real negotiations take place offline.” I am the truth that you will see when you stand before me!!” Shakur posted.
Shakiur previously considered 144 pounds to be a fair compromise in a potential showdown with Haney, who has competed at welterweight in his most recent outings. Haney then signaled his willingness to accept the catchweight offer, sparking optimism that one of boxing’s most talked-about fights could gain momentum.
The latest exchange came shortly after the WBO confirmed that Haney must either defend his welterweight title against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis or risk losing the belt. While neither Haney nor Stevenson directly addressed the situation in their recent posts, the article did add another note to any future negotiations involving the former two-division world champions.
With Haney facing a WBO title decision and Shakur insisting that stern negotiations will take place behind closed doors, the pressure is now on both camps to determine whether the fight can go beyond an online exchange.
