Hamzah Sheeraz will have to raise his game in his 12-round fight against Edgar Berlang’s great puncher to fight for a super medium weight on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Modern York.

Both warriors are Competition at the level of novices And they have not yet proved as the best fighters in 168 pounds. They are both very popular without proving that they are able to defeat the best division killers.

Fans believe that Berlanga-Sheeraz should be caught on the basis of, below these fights on July 12:

Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda
Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias
David Morrell vs. Imam khataev

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.

Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown

"Solomon Dacres Confidently Takes on Bakhodir Jalolov in Epic Showdown"

Solomon Dacres expects to stop Bakhodir Jalolov tonight, but his record offers little support for that prediction against the 6’7″ two-time Olympic gold medalist.

Jalolov has looked sluggish enough lately to give critics room for skepticism. The dominant puncher seen in the amateur ranks rarely appears in his prize ring outings, prompting a few observers to sniff an upset. Regardless, Jalolov looking flat does not suddenly transform Dacres into a top threat.

“Got to get him out of there, man,” Dacres told SecondsOut. “Mid to late rounds.”

That would be a considerable leap for a fighter whose most revealing professional result remains his first-round stoppage defeat to David Adeleye in December 2024.

Dacres describes that loss as a “blip,” but it came against the most notable opponent he had faced. Across five years as a professional, he hasn’t built a record of beating contenders that would make a Jalolov knockout seem likely.

His points win against Vladyslav Sirenko also requires context. Sirenko amassed numbers without testing himself against true threats, meaning that victory hardly proves Dacres can deal with Jalolov’s height, reach, and southpaw boxing skills.

“This fight here is beyond English title level, man,” Dacres said. “This is like world level.”

Jalolov deserves criticism for how slowly his professional career has moved and for performances that haven’t matched expectations. His Olympic medals don’t excuse that, and Dacres has an opportunity to make him work.

Expecting Dacres to win because Jalolov underwhelms ignores his own modest punch output. Managing just three stoppages across ten victories, he lacks the firepower to back up big talk.

For Dacres to land the kinds of sustained combinations required to stop someone Jalolov’s size, he has to pin him down. Jalolov does not fight like a traditional, stationary heavyweight slugger. Even when he looks uninspired, he uses lateral footwork, maintains long range with his southpaw lead hand, and angles off before opponents can set their feet.

Dacres lacks both the foot speed to cut off the ring effectively and the explosive one-punch power to make Jalolov cautious. If Dacres tries to force the issue, he’ll put himself at risk of getting caught. Pressing aggressively against a 6’7″ southpaw who excels at firing straight left hands down the pipe is asking for trouble.

Unless Jalolov completely checks out mentally and stands against the ropes to trade, Dacres will be eating long jabs and counters all night, with a Jalolov stoppage being the far more probable outcome.
