Sheeraz vs. Berlanga: Fight Preview
Both fighters are on the average side and are seen as classic examples of noise work. However, Berlanga and Sheeraz have the power to hit, which masks their marginal skills, which makes them unsafe to everyone in an empty, talent of a super medium weight unit.
Future star of 168-pounds?
This fight can determine who appears as the next star in the 168 pounds division. The weight class is now sterile of popular fighters, and the winner of Berlanga-Sheeraz can fill the void left by the exit of David Benavidez.
The last performance of Sheraz against Master WBC medium weight Carlos Adames in February last year leaves many doubts as to whether he has talent to mix him with fighters at A. Adames is far from being a warrior at the elite level, but he dominated 26-year-old Hamzah, making him bad. Were it not for judges saving Sheerase, giving him a 12-round draw, he would have suffered his first career defeat.
An advantage in the hometown of Berlanga
Favorite is Brooklyn, Modern York Berlanga (23-1, 18 KO) and will fight in front of his home crowd. It mattered if the fight had to go through the full 12 rounds. The judges are unlikely to have a voice in this fight, because it is expected to end with a knockout.
This is a good thing for Sheerase (21-0-1, 17 KO) because he could have difficulty winning the decision fighting with Edgar in Modern York. You must imagine that fans will show a lot of approval for every blow that Berlanga will land in the fight.
Sheeraz Training: Fighting outside
In the training clip published today by Sheeraz, you can see that he usually stays outside, using his reach and movement. He will have to fight in such a way to avoid gigantic shots of Berlang’s power. It would be too risky if Hamzah remained within Berlang’s reach, especially in the early rounds, when it is more unsafe.
Berlanga has a slight advantage over Sheeraz, taking into account his fight with Canelo Alvarez in September last year. Although Edgar lost almost every round of the fight, the distance from Canelo gave him confidence that he could stay with the best fighters in the division. It is doubtful whether Canelo is still the best at the age of 168, but still means something that Berlanga has gone with him.
Apart from Adams, Sheeraz did not fight any significant opponents. His best win was with Austin Williams, a defective pretender with a plate based on tomato cans. In addition to Austin’s early soup, Hamzah was fully commanded by the whole fight and pierced well.
