Berlanga vs. Sheeraz: The outdoor setting of the Louis Armstrong stadium contrasts with the eliteness of Times Square, but do they resonate?

Place of the event of Edgar Berlang vs. Hamzah Sheeraz from July 12 will be the National Tennis Center of 14,053 places at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Up-to-date York. It is a place that works for this sport, but not in boxing. Unfortunately, the stadium has many places at the ground level, makes them useless to watch box.

Fans are more concerned about the PPV price of the event than the location. If Turki wants to satisfy fans, he should value an event with a discount, because Berlanga is in the main event.

It is not clear why Turki Alalshikh chose this location for the event on July 12. His smaller place than Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center. The only obvious benefit from the Louis Armstrong stadium is that it will be an external place, such as the previous Turki event on May 2 at Times Square. The roof is extended in the event of a strange rain, sometimes in Up-to-date York. This is one of the green states.

Fights

Edgar Blangga vs. Hamzah Sheeraz – the main event
Shakur Stevenson vs. William Zepeda-Scholar
Alberto Puello vs. Subriel Matias
David Morrell vs. Imam khataev

Ordinary fans will be cheerful that they can participate in a fight, and not exclude, as we have seen in the Times Square event. The crowd for this event was several hundred carefully selected VIPs, many of which wealthy millionaires. The fights were terrible and it was what was happening at a bad match.

Local Berlanga string?

It is doubtful whether this place will be sold, because none of the fights resonates with the crowd from Up-to-date York. Although Berlanga comes from Brooklyn, it is not a enormous enough name to bring a crowd of 14,000. Shakur comes from Newark, Up-to-date Jersey and it is not very popular in this state. Of course, Turki can afford to make the event half -filled, but it is better to be in the formulation of this card at the 5600 places at Madison Square Garden in Up-to-date York. In this way, a sale would be guaranteed.

Berlanga did not do enough in his career to count him, to bring a enormous audience. It would be a better idea for Turk to find a popular warrior who could complain about the event. Shakur would still be a good factor, and Berlanga would be perfect for the third fight in advance.

After two hits against Taylor (24-1, 6 KO) in 2023 with one victory, Cameron has long called for the third and deciding about the fight.

MVP, which Amanda Serrano also represents, worked closely with Taylor, and their third fight for July 11 in Modern York.

Asked if she hopes that moving to MVP can bring her closer to the third fight against Taylor, Cameron said ESPN: “Yes, I think I think I think [MVP] I now have good working relationships with Katie, she fights with Amanda.

“There is no reason that if he sets out in July, what is the excuse not to fight me.

“This is a huge move. Who knows, Amanda can make a decision, but if Katie wins a win, it will be engaging what movement he makes, because I will be with MVP, he knows that MVP will put off the money, so let’s see what he is doing.”

Cameron’s next opponent is to be announced soon, and the undisputed champion of the welterweight champion is equipped with MVP achievements with promoting fighters.

“The evidence is in the pudding with Amanda Serrano,” said Cameron.

“What they did with Amanda is unbelievable … They are changing the game. Their promotion, content, the promotion they do is simply whole.

“They absolutely break it. This is something I wanted to be part of and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so they didn’t even have to set me up.”

Because MVP creates a box and the center of their activities, this movement was elementary for Cameron, although he still had robust relations with the former promoter Frank Warren and Queensberry.

“It was just a really positive transition and it is the most crucial thing. It doesn’t happen often in professional boxing, but I had great relationships with Queensbury, and now I will have great relationships with MVP,” she said.

“I think that every boxer should now look at signing a contract with MVP, because they really invest and put time and effort on women.”
